Strawberry desserts

 
Three types of strawberry desserts. Each the same size, about the size of the mini Hershey's bars (Hershey's, Mr. Goodbar), but with a square base. Like a pyramid with the top cut off. The coating of each seemed about the same, like a strawberry flavored white chocolate or yogurt.

Strawberry Mousse: A think layer of the strawberry coating with a thin patty of something chewy in the middle, possibly marshmallow (especially like the belly of gummy frogs).

Mille-feulle: This seems to be puffed rice (like Nestle Crunch), dried strawberry bits, and the coating also acting as a binder.

Strawberry Tarte: A small biscuit in the middle, topped with little "crystals" of freeze dried strawberry, and enrobed with the coating. My favorite of the bunch since it had the most strawberry flavor.

These were pretty good, and rather unique. Probably not a frequent purchase item (even if I lived in Japan), but certainly worth trying. I'll probably look for them again the next time I'm in Japan since I think their uniqueness makes them a great gift. 86/100
