Hi there! I’m MIKI, a total sucker for sweets ♡
Today, I stopped by Okashi no Machioka (a popular Japanese snack shop) and impulsively picked up a limited-edition Mango Choco Pie. Naturally, I had to compare it to the classic version!

A Must-Try for Choco Pie Fans—Introducing the Limited Mango Flavor

Everyone knows the classic Choco Pie is a long-standing favorite with its soft cake and rich chocolate coating.
Now, enter the summer-only Mango flavor! The bright orange packaging is super eye-catching—totally giving off tropical vibes!

Surprised by the First Bite—A Burst of Mango Aroma! ♡
The moment I took a bite, I was surprised by how the mango aroma bloomed all at once!
The filling had a rich, juicy mango flavor that added a luxurious, tropical twist—making it feel even more indulgent than the classic version.

“Made with ripe Alphonso mangoes, known as the King of Mangoes for their rich sweetness.” —from the package.

Ah, that explains the rich aroma and flavor!
(And okay, I admit—I thought “Alphonso” was a red teddy bear at first. Google quickly corrected me, haha.)

And That Coating? Totally White Chocolate Vibes

Though the package says “mango chocolate,” it looks just like white chocolate.
As a white chocolate lover, I’m obsessed. The creamy flavor lingers on the tongue in the best way.
White chocolate fans—you’ve got to try this one!

コメント

  1. When I originally commented I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever
    a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the same comment.
    Perhaps there is an easy method you are able to remove me from that service?
    Kudos!

    • M or Z より:

      Hi there,

      Thank you so much for your kind comment — it truly made my day!
      Actually, I was so curious about the email issue that I even asked ChatGPT how to fix it
      It seems like it might be caused by accidentally subscribing multiple times to the comment updates.

      I don’t have control over the subscription system on my end,
      but if you click the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of one of those emails,
      it should help reset your settings. Let me know if the issue continues — I’d be happy to look into it more!

      Also… to be honest, I only recently started this blog and haven’t been able to update it very often.
      So the fact that someone like you is reading it — it really means the world to me. I’m honestly touched and so happy. ✨

      Thanks again for taking the time to visit and leave a comment.
      I hope you’ll stop by again sometime!

      Warmly,
      [MiKI]
