Strawberry Choco Ball.

In keeping with the Japanese artificial strawberry flavorings, there is this...



Choco Ball, but strawberry flavor. One of the spoils of Momma Empirical's trip to our motherland.

I've never been too into Choco Ball myself. I'm more of a straight Pocky, Glico Caramels, Botan Rice Candy type. But here it is.

Did you ever have chocolate covered strawberries (or blueberries, cherries) from Harry & David? These are similar, except where the real fruit would be, there is a little nugget of substandard chocolate and some crisped rice. Sounds unsatisfying, but you'd be surprised. I'd eat a handful at a time.

The labeling on this box says it's new and I haven't seen this around the J-town J markets yet, but if it ever makes its debut, you should check it out. I'll predict it will sell for close to $2 a box, and the box is small--I'll leave it up to you to decide if it's worth the cost.
