Glico Collon - "Funassyi" Pear Review

This flavor of Collon features the Funassyi mascot. I do not know very much about Funassyi, but I think it is similar to Domo. If you wanna know more about the cute face on this package, you can read up about it here at Wikipedia.

This limited edition Collon is pear flavored, which is suppose to represent Funassyi.

This is the back of the package. Very cute.

The opened package.

The actual cookies.

Taste

These are really interesting. I'm sure you've tried Collon before, and these have the usual texture of Collon, but the center is super sweet and fruity. I'm not sure it really tastes like pear, but it does resemble fruit. The fruit taste is light and the cream is well, creamy. It's super pleasant and these might be my favorite flavor of Collon.

Scent & Texture

The scent was the first thing I noticed. It is really strong and fruity. The texture is nice and the cookies just melted in my mouth. I enjoyed the texture a lot. They are crunchy, but creamy and soft at the same time.

Repurchase?

Oh yes, I would buy these again! They taste really good and have such a lovely scent and texture.

Overall

8/10. While not the best cookies in the world, they are really enjoyable. I enjoyed the fruit flavor and the texture, along with the scent. If they stick around, I would buy them in the future.

Petit - Choco Chips (Matcha) Minature Green Tea Cookies Review

Petit is a brand in Japan that has a variety of different snacks that come in long tubes, like shown below. The flavor I'm reviewing today is the Green Tea Chocolate Chip ones, which I'm quite addicted to! I actually managed to snag some on eBay several years ago and I devoured them. So, I was really happy to see these in stock at Candysan!

I actually started eating these while taking pictures. I wasn't going to eat more than one, but the above happened before I got my picture of the actual product.

The cookies come in a little plastic tray, neatly lined up in the package!

Taste

These cookies have a highly addictive matcha flavor. It has a pretty strong green tea flavor. Paired with the chocolate chips, it is super delicious. Think of them as tasting like a green tea flavored Chips Ahoy cookie. This is what they taste like to me, but slightly less sweet.

Scent and Texture

The cookies are very, very crunchy. They are not soft or chewy at all. The texture is pleasant and once you start chewing, they sorta begin melting in your mouth. It's pretty awesome and highly addictive! The cookies don't have much of a scent.

Repurchase?

Yes!! I love these cookies. The packaging is cute and I'm somewhat addicted to the flavor and texture. These cookies are awesome for prepackaged cookies.

Overall

9/10. These aren't perfect, but they are addictive and taste good. Plus, they're pretty cheap. You can get these at Candysan for $1.18. There are 24 mini cookies per package, so it is a pretty good deal.

 I look forward to trying more Petit products! :D

Oreo Bits Sandwiches Matcha Green Tea Latte Review

Japan has so many awesome Oreo flavors, and I was lucky enough to be able to purchase these Oreo Bits Sandwiches in Matcha Latte flavor. I'm a huge fan of anything combining chocolate and green tea!

The bag comes in at around 250 calories. The size is 60 grams. So, that's not too bad for cookies!

The cookies are the exact same size as the Oreo mini cookies in the US, which is what I was expecting from this product.

I had to open it up and get a closer look at the filling! They are filled with a very rich green color!

Taste

The taste of these are super amazing. Being a huge fan of matcha, I thought these were highly addictive. I just kept eating and eating! The taste of the filling is very rich, so if you don't like matcha, you won't like these.

Scent and Texture

These just smell like Oreos. If you've somehow never had an Oreo... they smell of chocolate. 

Repurchase?

Oh yes! I'd buy these again in a heartbeat. In fact, I'm tempted to go order some more now. >__<

Overall

9/10. While they aren't the perfect cookie, these things are addictive and taste pretty amazing to a matcha fan. I love chocolate. I love matcha. I love Oreos. This is a winning combination to me. I won't give them a perfect score, because there ARE better cookies out there, but dang, these are good! I wish I could buy them locally.

Oreo Blueberry Soft Cookie Review

This is my very first post on the blog and what better way to start it than with Oreos?! Like Kit-Kats, Japan has a lot of neat and exclusive Oreo flavors. This is one of the newest - the Blueberry Oreo Soft Baked Cookie. It's an Oreo sandwich cookie with cream and blueberry filling, which gives a twist on the traditional flavor.
