Seijo Ishii's Porbolone with a new red flavor

I tried Seijo Ishii's "Ruby Chocolate Porbolone". Inside the red chocolate coating sprinkled with raspberry-flavored powdered sugar, there is also a raspberry-flavored, slightly baked confectionery.

It features a berry-like fruity acidity, but with the addition of raspberry flavor. Not only is the powdered sugar sprinkled on the surface mixed with Franboise powder, but the dough under the coating has dried raspberry granules added.

If you remove the powdered sugar and taste only the coating with your tongue, you can enjoy the sweet and sour taste of ruby chocolate, but it is delicious enough even if you pick it up and eat it without worrying about it.

All in one go!

The flavor of cacao and raspberry goes well with the texture that crumbles in the mouth, which is a characteristic of Porbolone. If it's cool, hot tea is likely to be a good drink.
