If your kids are anything like mine, they are still at the age where they think cotton candy is the best thing out there -- and I'm sure I was the same back then, too. This cotton candy from Kaldi comes in a plastic wrapper, but inside it's basically like what you'd expect from a festival cotton candy since it's on a stick. The info on the Kaldi site says that this product is inspired by the flavors of butter, strawberry, and milk (e.g. key cake components), and I do think when you eat it all together you can feel those flavors reflected. I only had a small nibble of this to try, but my kids loved it.

I am personally not a big fan of cotton candy -- if I'm craving something sweet I want something that actually has some oomph rather than something that just dissolves ;) Also, I feel like the price of this is fairly expensive at 270 yen, especially knowing that it's mass produced in a factory somewhere. Flavor-wise though, it does quite a good job of replicating what you'd expect from a real strawberry shortcake, so give it a go if it sounds fun to you. I imagine it will only be available a little while longer, so head in to your nearest Kaldi Coffee Farm store while you can. Happy eating!
