The description
This product is a packet of Pino ice creams in a seasonal strawberry shortcake flavor. They were purchased from 7-11 and were priced at 220 yen including tax.
The good
I'm a big fan of the regular Pino flavor, but I also find myself snapping up any seasonal flavors when they're released. The newest offering they've come out with is a strawberry shortcake variety, and I am pleased to say it was every bit as good as I hoped it would be. The overall aesthetic of these little ice cream bites is very clever, too, because they're designed to *look* like a strawberry does. They're coated in a strawberry colored chocolate outer, which is flecked with little pieces of sponge cake designed to look like the seeds on a strawberry! The ice cream itself also contains fruit juice to give it that strawberry taste.
The not so good
For me, the only real downside to this product is that it's available for a limited time only! I loved the whole concept of these, from the flavor to the appearance, and I wish they would be a permanent addition to the Pino lineup. Alas, that's not the case, so I'll have to try and snag another one of them before they disappear from store shelves completely! If you're a fan of strawberry shortcake and you love Pino ice cream bites, I'd highly recommend giving this new flavor a try. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did -- happy eating!
