If you're already a fan of Komeda Coffee's classic shiro noir dessert and you're also a fan of all things Pokemon, this new item is a double whammy of fun. It's the Ditto Shiro Noir Blueberry Fromage flavor, and consists of soft serve ice cream, a blueberry sauce, and cream cheese. There are also some cute heart shaped sprinkles in a perfectly purple Ditto color, and a paper Ditto pick. I like that you can also get it in both the mini and the regular size, so you can cater it to how hungry you're feeling/whether you're sharing it with someone else.

This is substantially more expensive than the standard shiro noir product. For context, the standard mini-sized shiro noir at my nearest Komeda Coffee is 540 yen, whereas this special one is 1080 yen! Yes, it does have more components to it than the normal shiro noir does, but double the price? I think that's a bit crazy! Makes it feel like it's just a cash grab to get all the Pokemon fans who will pay that price. Because of the pricing, I can only realistically give it three stars, I'd feel disingenuous if I rated it any higher. Give it a try if you can justify the price, but keep in mind that it's definitely expensive IMO for what it is.
