The description
This product is a strawberry and chocolate tart, and it's available from Starbucks stores across Japan for a limited time. It's priced at 580 yen including tax.
The good
The combination of desserts/sweets featuring strawberry and chocolate flavors has been around quite a bit this year, or at least I feel like I've seen it a bunch, and this tart from Starbucks continues the trend. It consists of a chocolate tart crust, chocolate whipped cream, chocolate ganache, and a cocoa-flavored sponge cake, and then the whole thing is topped with large pieces of strawberry pulp and a berry jam for a glossy finish. I think aesthetically it looks quite nice, and the flavor and texture is fabulous as well.
The not so good
If you don't like the combination of fruity and chocolatey flavors, then this option might not be the best for you. Never fear, though, as there are a myriad of other sweet treat options at Starbucks to choose from. All things considered, I thought this was a really nice dessert. There's a lot going on with it in terms of flavors and textures, but they work together really well for a cohesive feeling dessert. Not sure how long it's set to be around for, so if it sounds appealing to you, be sure to head in to your nearest Starbucks store ASAP. Happy eating, and enjoy!
