Just a couple of days ago, I got this little packet of sushi chocolates in the mail from a friend of mine. For protection, my friend was wrapped the box in the very last printed issue of the Himawari magazine, published by the Kitakyushu International Association (KIA). She knew I would appreciate the magazine as I used to work at the Kokusai Center (another name for KIA).
Underneath each beautiful wrapper, there was a small chocolate bar of medium quality. But the enclosed green packet contained wasabi- flavored choco balls. Unusual, but tasty with an interesting twist.
Sushi chocolates including wasabi chocolate balls
This box of chocolates costs about 500 Yen (the value declared for customs).
I had never seen sushi chocolates before. If I could get my hands on them, I would buy several boxes as they make nice presents for the many Japan aficionados I know.
I wonder if this product is available in Germany.
Is the sushi chocolate taste like real sushi? ummm, yummy!
I tried wasabi crisps a few weeks ago… definitely not my thing!
For UK readers: wasabi is Japanese horseradish.
Irgendwie wird mir komisch im Bauch wenn ich das lese *gg*
We love wasabi peas and wasabi peanuts (available at the local Edeka supermarket) and of course, we go through a lot of wasabi when we have sushi at home.
The Japanese are very good at giving regular food a new twist, such as the cucumber coke two years ago and many other freaky fusion food items.
Die Wasabi Schokolade ist echt lecker! Die anderen Sushi Schokoladen Stücke sind aus normaler Schokolade, also kein beigefügter Sushi Geschmack.
