Someone I know took a trip and brought me back this special chocolate. Every area of Japan has special foods and special treats. This chocolate came from the Tohoku area of Japan. It was sweet and creamy and didn't taste like beans.
I finished eating the chocolate before I read the kcalorie count!

I love the Japanese custom of bringing back regional specialties for one's friends after traveling. A regional/traditional Japanese chocolate is an interesting idea since chocolate candy bars were only invented in the 19th century in the West, and most Japanese customs are so much older (or we think they are).
We all deserve a treat now and then. Chocolate is the best!
ReplyDeleteSome of these local varieties of classic brands (Look has been around for AGES) add things that are real kcalorie bombs!
ReplyDeleteSurely you don't look at calories when you eat chocolate, that would spoil the whole enjoyment! ;-)

ReplyDeleteWho cares about the calories, a treat is to be enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteInteresting combination!

ALWAYS finish the chocolate before reading the calorie count. You'll enjoy it much more!
ReplyDeleteA tasty gift to enjoy.

That calorie count isn't too bad for chocolate...at least it was only a small portion! Looks very interesting, though.
