Look "Heisei Trendy Sweets 4"
There was

The chocolate assortment "Heisei Trendy Sweets 4" is on sale for a limited time from Fujiya's "LOOK" brand. I saw it at a convenience store and bought it. Because I remember everything.

It is a reproduction of the sweets that were popular in Heisei, and is wrapped in milk chocolate with cream reminiscent of "tiramisu," "creme brulee," "mango pudding," and "raw caramel." The selling price at the convenience store was 130 yen (tax included).

What were you doing ...

The package clearly states the year of the epidemic, and it is a specification that looks back on the cruelly early flow even if it is unpleasant.

Flavors are tiramisu, creme brulee, mango pudding, raw caramel

First of all, tiramisu, which was popular around 1990. The reproduced chocolate has a coffee flavor, a slight bitterness, and a creamy flavor that stimulates memory. Certainly, at that time, I saw tiramisu at pastry shops in the town, and even pasta shops had bite-sized desserts. I also miss the powder that was sold because it was easy to make tiramisu-style sweets.

Tiramisu. A faint bittersweet coffee flavor

Next is Creme Brulee, which was popular around 1991. The reproduced chocolate has a caramel-like scent and a custard pudding-like scent, making it a taste suitable for adults. However, when I think about it, I first came into contact with Creme Brulee around 2001. You probably saw it in the movie "Amelie" that was released in theaters at that time.

Creme brulee. Scented like charred caramel

Furthermore, mango pudding that was popular around 2005. The reproduced chocolate has a sweet and sour flavor with a fruity feel. After tasting it for a while, it seems like a mango pudding. Looking back on my memory, I think that the most mango pudding at that time came out as a set meal of Chinese food and as an after-dinner dessert.

Raw caramel that was popular around 2006. It has two layers of caramel and cream, and the caramel is rich. It came to be seen as a souvenir from Hokkaido, and I was surprised by the "luxury caramel" that was completely different from the impression of simple sweets that I had held until then.

While eating four types of recreated chocolates, the memories of the sweets I once enjoyed, such as panna cotta, canelé, Belgian waffles, Kouign-amann, and egg tarts, come out endlessly. If you think about it, Heisei was an era of sweets.
