The description
This product is a chocolate cake made with Ecuadorian chocolate, and it's a limited time offering at Family Mart stores. It was priced at 195 yen including tax.
The good
This is a really nice dessert, and it almost feels like two sweet treats in the one container. The top portion is a light and fluffy chocolate cake (it feels a bit like a souffle-style texture/consistency), and at the bottom there's a chocolate pudding/cream. Both elements worked really well together and provided a delicious chocolatey fix without feeling cloyingly sweet. On that note, the reasonable portion size was also appreciated. The whole thing is under 200 calories, which I thought was a pleasant surprise given how indulgent it tastes. Would recommend it to any chocolate lovers out there.
The not so good
Although I definitely appreciated the reasonable portion size, I do think that it felt a little bit expensive given the amount of product you get. I think around the 160-170 yen mark would have felt more appropriate, but the quality and taste was very good so I can't complain too much. Overall, I think this is a solidly tasty product, and I would probably purchase it again if it was still on store shelves the next time I was at Family Mart and craving a chocolatey treat. Have a look at your local store if it sounds good to you!
