On Sunday morning, I went with my best friend to try out "Koryaikeru (Sakura Ebi)" rice snack. It is a light pink rice snack with a crispy and light texture that melts in your mouth instantly. The savory aroma of Sakura Ebi and slightly strong saltiness make it a perfect snack to enjoy with beer. Once you start eating it, you can't stop, so be careful not to overeat. It's delicious, I love it. I also tried "Koryaikeru (Cheese)" rice snack, which is a light yellow color. It has the same crispy and light texture with a hint of cheese flavor that slowly spreads on your tongue. The rich aroma of cheese also adds to the experience. It's like a super light version of cheese curls. I got a 30% discount on this item due to some breakage during delivery, but it was not a problem at all. I appreciate the eco-discount initiative by Mochikichi to reduce food waste. I would definitely buy eco-discounted products again if I come across them.

The ice candy in soda flavor (83 yen including tax) was delicious. The premium gelato in roasted green tea flavor (120 yen including tax) had a rich chocolate-like taste with a hint of sweetness and a spread of roasted green tea aroma in the mouth. It was delicious.
