The description
This product is a layered strawberry tart, and it's a limited time offering available from Starbucks stores across the country. It was priced at 570 yen including tax.
The good
Along with the seasonal drinks available from Starbucks stores, they also have a solid lineup of seasonal desserts, too -- and this strawberry tart is one of the options on their menu at the moment. First and foremost, I think it looks really pretty, with the layered appearance and the glossy-finished top. The layers consist of a tart base, whipped cream, a strawberry-flavored mousse, and actual strawberry pieces in that glossy sauce. I think it's great for folks who appreciate lots of flavors and textures in their desserts of choice! It feels like a nice option for the spring season, and the color fits well, too.
The not so good
This definitely isn't what I would call an inexpensive sweet treat, coming in at close to 600 yen including tax. In saying that, I do think I'd pay around this at an independent bakery for a good slice of cake/tart, so when I consider that it's not too bad. However, I guess I feel a bit guilty because it's better to support a small business IMO than a global conglomerate. Fun to try if you like strawberry flavored things, but like their drinks this is a one and done for me even though I did enjoy it a great deal! It's only around for a limited time, so if it sounds like a must-try to you be sure to head into your nearest Starbucks ASAP.
