Almost everyone that knows me can testify to how much I love Kotori so as soon as I saw that she was getting her own candy treat I had to buy it!
Kotori Minami – Love Live Movie, Cheesecake Flavour Scones
This is a great example of how well Japan does packaging. Instead of a plain box it is fashioned into the perfect gift (o-miyage) or just something cute to buy yourself.
The box is in the shape of a bag and has two burgandy ribbon handles.
(灬♥ω♥灬)
The first side shows us lots of data and necessary information, not much to say here so lets move on…
Along with the barcode the other side has an adorable picture of all of the Love Live! girls huddled around a cheesecake…. but is that all that this picture is? Lets continue for now!
The back of the box is the same as the front so I’ve moved straight onto the contents.
Inside there are 7 individually wrapped packets, the scones themselves are around 2 inches long and 1 inch wide (so they are only about a mouthful each.
The colour is mottled and natural from baking rather than being one tone all the way across which is really nice! (*~▽~)
Wait! Before trying this yummy looking goodie there is something else inside the box!
Turns out that the picture on the side was also explaining that inside there is a photo-paper printed picture inside. Its of a surprisingly high quality and is about 4 inches long. Although I don’t know quite yet what I’m going to do with it yet its a lovely addition to the treat.
Thats everything from the box now so time to try the scones.
For a pre-packaged item they are surprisingly soft and fresh to the touch, they don’t really smell of anything but neither do cheese cakes usually so this didn’t put me off at all.
When I bit into the scone it was so soft and easy to get through, its a little flakey and tastes devine, the cheese cake flavour is definitely there. Its like a really subtle yet creamy taste of new york cheesecake.
The taste lingers in your mouth after eating and considering its only a bite I think these would be great to use to clear your palette after a meal.
I got these when I saw them for sale on AmiAmi, I’ve linked them below but they appear to be sold out though. It might be worth keeping an eye on the link as I frequently pick items up from them when they re-stock.
Original cost to me – 710jpy
Now the box doesn’t advise on calorie information but I’m sure that I read somewhere that they were 39calories per scone.
Taste rating – 10/10
(I want enough of these to eat one everyday!)
Thank you for reading!! I welcome any feedback<3
