High-piece "Kurihojicha" can be drunk hot or cold. The feature is a strong marron taste. It's as if you're eating the cake "Mont Blanc". But it's sugar-free.


I found Kurihojicha at "Natural Lawson". The price is 135 yen (tax included). Looking at the package, it says "use domestic chestnuts" and "non-sugar" side by side. How is it that chestnuts are used and not sweet?

When I opened the lid, it smelled like marron even before I drank it. It has the scent of autumn fruits, like the skin of Japanese chestnuts. When you take a sip, the taste is certainly ordinary roasted green tea.

Is it because the taste and smell are confused that the sweetness is felt for a moment? If you roll it carefully with your tongue, you will find that it is sugar-free. Marron also in the aftertaste. Very ugly.


Without a doubt, it smells like when you're eating a Western confectionery with plenty of Japanese chestnuts at a fashionable cake shop. Is it faintly similar to cocoa?

If there is something called "Mont Blanc that is not sweet to drink," that is exactly what Kurihojicha is. The calories are 0 kcal, so I don't feel guilty.

However, the only drawback is that you really want to go eat the Montblanc cake.
