Limited Edition Snack Spotlight: Takenoko no Sato

Limited Edition Flavour

Here we have the first snack spotlight. I bought this a couple of months ago and I've already eaten them but I took a photo for the sake of remembering. This special, limited edition flavour, is Honey Butter.

Takenoko no Sato are a chocolate and biscuit snack made by meiji. Typically they look like the below image. A chocolate that's slightly darker than milk chocolate and an airy biscuit. They're very addictive to snack on.

Original flavour

Unfortunately I no longer have the box so I can't include any more nutritional information and how much was inside the box. So we'll move on to the special edition description.

Honey butter was a very, very popular flavour of chip/crisp in South Korea while I lived there. Korea preferred more sweet chips that I was used to back in Canada. However, it had never crossed my mind to have Honey Butter as a chocolate flavour. I was very, very hesitant about these but I knew I had to give them a try!

Verdict? They were smooth and creamy. The flavour of honey was stronger than the butter. Overall they were an absolutely delicious snack and it took a lot of effort to not eat the entire box in a sitting. A single box of these snacks typically has somewhere from 240-320 calories per box (depending on the flavour). I can't recall how many these had but it was in that ballpark so I split into two snack sessions.

These were really good and I haven't seen them since the time I bought them. I really hope they come back.
