Meito Maroyaka Milk Chocolate, Strawberry

In addition to the share packs, another cool thing TokyoTreat does is these party packs, and there's no object for scale her but this is a very large bag! I quite like the design of these chocolates, the way the strawberry sits on top of the chocolate makes it look like a gemstone of some sort. Maybe I can get this as a piece of jewelry? Nah, I'd eat it way too soon. This is a milk chocolate treat, and while I'm not as a huge a fan of milk chocolate as others, I look forward to trying it.

One worry about this was that with such a large bag this wouldn't get eaten quickly enough and the chocolate would go bad or melt. But thankfully Meito thought about this and individually wrapped each chocolate. I mean, I'm sure if I haaaaad to, I'd eat them quickly... and then take a huge puppy nap. The chocolate definitely has a huge milky smell to it, so I think that flavor will be a big component of this. It also looks chewier than I expected, with the chocolate layer looking akin to a Laffy Taffy in texture. Strawberry flavor is there and plenty sweet, but the chocolate is the more pronounced of the bunch.

Turns I was wrong about the texture as my chompers break down the chocolate and strawberry together immediately, and everything about this treat works really well together! What seemed like a hodgepodge all blends in the mouth, the milk, chocolate, and strawberry flavors combine to form a mouth milkshake of sorts, and the texture is so seamless... nice and soft and dissolving so quickly. Not one flavor stands out over the other too much either, and here I don't really mind the milk chocolate as it serves as a medium to blend the two halves.

The taste is also perfectly satisfying, leaving nothing left to be desired as the blend of flavors and then the aftertaste fades. I can see how this is a party pack because it's the perfect thing to leave out in a bowl at a party, a little morsel of chocolate, strawberry, milky goodness that cleanses the palette and satisfies. The only knock against it is that the flavors aren't mind-blowingly amazing, but other than that this is a really solid treat.
