Hello everyone! I’m Saori from Japanese Snacks Republic!

This time! ......Crunchy and delicious dried fruit coated in plenty of chocolate! These popular snacks, which are easy to store at room temperature, have been renewed and released at convenience stores!

When you say chocolate-coated dried fruit...... I think of orangettes (like the one in this photo).

What I’m introducing today is a snack where dried strawberries are fully coated in plenty of chocolate! In Japan, they have a great reputation for deliciousness because the sweetness of the strawberry and the sweetness of the chocolate go in different directions. They are coated so they don’t melt even at slightly high temperatures, so they are delicious at room temperature and even better when chilled!

This time, matcha and white chocolate versions have arrived! While milk chocolate versions are common, matcha is especially rare! The astringent matcha chocolate covers dried strawberries that emphasize tartness, giving it a deeper flavor than the standard version! It features a delicious finish with a more sophisticated, high-end feel. The white chocolate also has a deep richness different from both matcha and milk chocolate, so I definitely want you to try both and compare! They each have a different depth and deliciousness!

Personally, I think the matcha version is quite rare, so if you love the combination of dried fruit and chocolate, please give these Chocolate-Coated Strawberries a try!
