Meiji Meltykiss Green Tea. Available only during Winter at AsianSnacks. |
Melty Winter Kisses
Meltykiss is a seasonal premium chocolate cube available only in Winter. They're made by Japan's premier chocolate company, Meiji. Their English slogan is "Gently melts in your mouth like a snowflake" hence the name, Meltykiss. Every winter when Meltykiss hits the stores in Asia they simply fly off the shelves. Today we look at one of the most popular of Meltykiss flavors, Green Tea Matcha.More than just a pretty box
Beautiful and Function All in One |
Inside the box the chocolate cubes are protected in pretty individual foil wrappers with the same snowflake patterns as the outside serving box. Opening the foil wrap I am greeted with a rich aroma of dark chocolate and green tea matcha. Nice.
Dark coco powder covers this premium chocolate cube |
These chocolate cubes are silky smooth like a good truffle. A thin layer of rich milk chocolate surrounds the green tea center and is sprinkled with dark coco powder. Each bite is rewarded with rich green tea flavor. The milk chocolate melts immediately to smooth out the raw green tea flavor and combines with undertones of bitterness from the dark coco powder, so it isn't too sweet. The green tea flavor tastes like drinking a cup of actual green tea in a Japanese tea house.
The delicious matcha filling is made with 100% natural green tea |
Green tea is clearly the focus of this chocolate, so much so that I would describe it more as a green tea cube covered with chocolate instead of a chocolate cube. Overall it's a premium chocolate perfect for Japanese green tea lovers. If you don't like the raw taste of green tea, Meltykiss also comes in Strawberry and Creamy Chocolate. These chocolates are available for a limited time at AsianSnacks.
