The description
This product is a sweet potato pudding, and it's a limited time offering available from Family Mart stores across the country. It was priced at 298 yen (including tax).
The good
If you're a fan of sweet potato flavored things but usually expect to see them on store shelves around the autumn season, fear not – there's a sweet potato pudding cup available at Family Mart stores at the moment. It has a Mont Blanc style topping made up of sweet potato flavored whipped cream, so you get a few different sweet potato textures with this product. It's nicely presented, too, with all of the layers visible through the clear cup packaging. It's one of those desserts that looks enticing to eat when it's displayed on a store shelf!
The not so good
Not really a critique about the product itself, but it always throws me for a loop when convenience stores come out with products that don't seem to fit the season -- I've grown so accustomed to that seasonality that having a sweet potato dessert on store shelves in June just feels a bit...wrong? I'm not mad about it because I love the flavor, but it definitely seems like more of an autumn-appropriate release than a beginning of summer one. That aside, still tasty and worth picking up if you're a sweet potato fan. Happy eating, and enjoy!
