Osaka Maruaka Seika Itodagawa Shoten "Whiskey Bonbon
A fascinating combination of chocolate and alcohol. Introducing "Whiskey Bonbons" from Maruaka Seika Itodagawa Shoten, a bonbon specialty maker in Osaka.The filling is encased in a sugar shell. The whiskey bonbon is filled with whiskey and the surface is covered with chocolate. The purchase price is 440 yen (tax included).
Good for souvenirs.
At a quick glance, it looks like candy. When you open the shiny gold and red wrapper, an oval shaped chocolate appears. They are small in size, so be sure to eat them in one bite (this is very important).
Be careful not to eat more than two bites, or your hands and mouth will be sticky!
When you roll the chocolate around in your mouth, the whisky floods out from inside. You will be filled with the deep richness and mellow aroma. At first, you may be a little surprised, but as you eat two or three pieces, you will be captivated by the sensation of the whiskey overflowing into your mouth.
Lots of whiskey inside.
What is even more exquisite is the sugar shell. The crispy texture of the sugar shell gives it a light finish that sets it apart from ordinary liquor-infused chocolate. The fact that it is not too sweet despite being made of sugar and chocolate is also a key point, and unless someone stops me, I will keep eating it forever....
This time we got it at the Osaka Department Store, an antenna store of Osaka in Tokyo, but you can also purchase it from the official website of Maruaka Seika Itodagawa Shoten. Once you try it, you will be captivated by its melt-in-your-mouth and mellow flavor.
