Lotte Petit Choco Pie

Everything about these little pies looks so good! From the drizzling chocolate image, to the velvety cream within, to the scrumptious fluffy chocolate, there's a lot of excitement to be had. And as a party pack, there's 8 of them! Hopefully choco pies are every bit of the greatness that are pictured on their packaging.

The pies unfortunately are a bit smaller than I'd expect (they are "petit" after all), it still looks quite delicious, and very close to what it does on the cover. From one sniff I get both the chocolate which balances out sweet and chocolatey nicely, and the cream within, which doesn't always happen with filled snacks.

The textures are a mix of velvety softness. There's the outside with slightly more bite, then the inside chocolate which is softer and gets close to melting in your mouth, and then the cream filling which does melt in your mouth, drawing everything together with cream. It's basically reminiscent of a moon pie, which are also wonderful, and this doesn't fail to be the same. Everything is well done between the chocolate flavor and the cream, even the balance of flavors pans out where I don't get too much cream or too much chocolate. My biggest complaint is that these are way too small! I believe Lotte does make a larger version. As it is this one makes it so I'm going to go through the 8 included pies very quickly seeking even more chocolatey, creamy goodness.

Lotte Strawberry Pie no Mi

Strawberry pie? Sign me up! Very excited for this one if it looks like anything like the pictures on the box. Also that squirrel doesn't look nearly as excited as she should be, and I don't see that tail wagging... what a poor spokesperson. Anyways this snack promises a strawberry filling in the middle of puff pastry, which is sure to be an amazing combination. And a relatively big box. Hopefully nice and flaky and creamy.

Fujiya Home Pie Chocolate

Everything I've got my paws on so far has been from Japan Crate, but thankfully there are also Japanese delights I can go on the hunt for just outside my den. One such place for these is Nijiya Market, a local Japanese store. Walking in here the first time to try some snacks was confusing. I mean c'mon, learning one human speak was hard enough, now I have to learn another to understand what I want to shove in my mouth? Or I can just take risks and buy things. This particular item was a half-risk. I saw the word pie and I love me some pie, and there's chocolate, so among things I didn't understand I pounced on this one.
