The description
This product is a vanilla monaka jumbo ice cream bar from the Morinaga brand. It was purchased from 7-11 and it was priced at 162 yen (including tax).
The good
This is a really nice alternative to the regular choco monaka ice cream bars, particularly if you like the combo of vanilla and white chocolate. Instead of the wafer part of this ice cream bar being lined with regular milk chocolate, it's lined with white chocolate -- and I loved that about it! It had a nice sweetness to it that complemented the vanilla ice cream very well. I also thought the price point for the ice cream was very reasonable at 162 yen. Definitely not bad when you compare it to some other ice cream products on convenience store shelves such as Haagen-Dazs.
The not so good
Because this is a limited-time only product, I don't know how long it's going to be around for. Dare I say it, but I think I like this version more than the regular choco monaka product, so I really wish that this could be around as a permanent addition to the convenience store ice cream lineup! Alas, I don't think that will happen -- so I'll probably grab a couple extra to keep in my freezer. If you like the regular choco monaka product and you also enjoy white chocolate, I would highly recommend giving this product a try!
