Bourbon Chocolate snack Snack UCC

Bourbon, Alfort chocolate is harmony of rich taste & poor Japanese pronunciation ability

Bourbon, Alfort chocolate snack’s Taste

Package of Bourbon, Alfort chocolate say “Enjoy the superb taste of chocolate & biscuit made with the finest ingredients.”

this is chocolate on the small biscuit.
It is a representative snack of Japan.
I have never met the person who dislike this snack.

Mainly the reason is its delicious combination with chocolate and biscuit.

If this snack is only biscuit or only chocolate, it’s not so special.

But this unite of two different taste, biscuit and chocolate produce incredible taste experience with a just a one dollar.

Harmony of floury and dry biscuit and moist chocolate make you crazy. You definitely lose your control after one bite.

It’s really dangerous snack.

 Appearance & Name

What is name of Bourbon, Alfort chocolate snack?

There is sailing ship picture on each piece. and package is blue. and compass picture is on the back.

and name is alfort.

There is no official announce about the name. but rumor say like this.

this snack concept is romance of exploration age. this is the reason sailing ship picture is on the snack, package color is sea blue, compass picture on the package.

and the name, “Alfort” mean port.
But nobody know which language is it.
Dose it mean really port? at least, google cannot designate which language it is.

They want to name it Port.

Port is gathering sailing ship around the world.
Something meet at the port.
In case of this snack, chocolate and biscuit meet.
so this is named alfort that means port.
but nobody know which language is it.

It’s very mysterious.

Maybe the marketing team of this rural countryside company made a mistake.

Yes, the company, Bourbon is located, Niigata, rural area.

they want to name it “Port”, but because of their poor english pronunciation and listening ability, they spell it not port but alfort.

You could say, “There’s no way that would happen.”

but  you never know how poor Japanese people’s english is.

How can we mistake “Alfort” and “Port”?

You are right, but you never know how terrible Japanese english ability.

Anyway this unidentified name and impression of this snack is successful to give expensive foreign-made delicious snack image even though it’s only a 1 dollar or so and made by very countryside company..

Actually it is very very delicious.

Trapezial ice cream is cover with chocolate. Size is about eyeball.

It contains six in one package. Each ice cream is put on the plastic tray neatly.

pino ice ream0014

Who use this pin!

This ice cream is covered with chocolate, so we can pick up without being sticky. So I think we need not pin.

I think these tray & pin are waste of cost. They push up the price.

This ice cream company, Morinaga should beef up ice cream instead of unnecessary things.

Outside is chocolate taste because it cover with chocolate. And inside is vanilla ice cream taste. it’s very simple taste.

Star wars’ director, George Lucas steal  idea of this ice cream shape?

 

starwars & pino
Who can say star wars don’t steal the idea of Pino shape?

This ice cream, Pino start to sell in 1976. soon this become very popular in Japan because it’s very delicious.

Strangely Star wars is released next year. and surprisingly same shape character is starred in Star wars.

Yes it’s Darth Vader.

Darth Vader’s head shape is same to this ice cream, Pino.

I don’t want to say Gerge lucas steal the idea of this ice cream shape. But you will say it because shape is same.

But Japanese people cannot resist USA because of political problem.

it is not not star wars, it’s earth wars.

 

it's matter of politic? popular Japanese ice cream
it’s matter of politic?

It’s a bad taste story, but this ice cream is good taste. Please check how delicious by seeing my eating video.

Karintou Snack

Poop? NO! karinto krisps is Japanese traditional sweet snack. high class, historical sweet

I noticed karinto krisps is bad looks in toilet

Sometimes I eat snack while I do elimination. But it’s not so many times.

I know it is not good table manner and its bad hygiene.

But sometimes I cannot help eating snacks because of my stomach condition.

Basically I don’t care about appearance when I eat snacks.

But when I eat Karintou in toilet, I am really surprised because I notice that Karintou look like poop.

Poop? Of course not! karinto krisps its delicious Japanese traditional sweet snack. high class, historical sweet really. (7)

Until then I don’t feel nothing when I eat Karintou. But from then, I feel like eating poop.

Taste is never like a poop. Or exactly I don’t know the taste of poop. But Karintou krisps is maybe not taste of poop.

Karintou taste is sweet. This sweet is not like a chocolate or candy sweet. This sweet is like a donuts. And texture is little bit hard.

According to wikipedia

Karinto (花林糖 karint??, (ateji)) is a traditional Japanese snack food. Sweet and deep-fried, it is made primarily of flour, yeast, and brown sugar. It has a deep brown and pitted appearance, and takes the form of a “bite-sized” pillow or short cylinder. Although traditional karinto is coated with brown sugar, recently other variations appear in the market, such as white sugar, sesame seeds, miso, or peanuts.

I recommend eating Karinto but don’t eat it in Toilet. If someone finds you eating it in Toilet,

you will be misunderstood as poop eater. You will lose important part of your life.

Chocolate snack Meiji seika Snack

CHOCO BABY is not for adult who want to eat choco a lot, even though it’s delicious

This name of chocolate snack is “Choco baby”. 

This is chocolate snack. In this plastic package, there is small grain shaped chocolate.

If you are normal brain adult, you cannot eat one by one.

You will eat them at least 5 drops at one time, because each drop is very small.

Size is bigger than booger but smaller than tooth.

It contains 132 drops. But each size is very small.

If you are adult, you will finish eating all 132 drops in 5 second.

This plastic case is very gorgeous. But chocolate quantity is small.

Chocolate size is baby, but it is also choco for baby.

It’s not satisfied chocolate snack even though it is delicious!

But now I have soloution for this unsatisfuction.

maybe i should buy more Choco babys.

Chocolate snack langue de chat Meiji seika Snack

Langue de chat, Match taste Meiji Horn like expensive Chinese BURBERRY shirts

Stupid naming and confusing concept

Package says this is “Langue de chat”, that is French cookie. It means Cat tongue. Langue de chat is cat tongue in French. But this Japanese snack’s name is “Horn”.

What is horn? Animal born or music instrument? Anyway this naming is really confusing. Because snack package say it’s cat tongue, but name is horn.

Langue de chat seems to be popular cookie in French. But French people maybe never notice this is Langue de chat. Because original langue de chat should be cat tongue shape and light brown color.

this is french Langue de chat
this is french Langue de chat

This color is not Langue de chat, this shape is not Langue de chat. And this taste is not Langue de chat too. This taste is Match taste, Japanese green tea taste chocolate cookie. And name is horn.

Brave try never be understood by Japanese customer

I don’t know why they try to mix many taste. Just a small cheap snack. You can swallow it with few chewing. Tasting is only few second.
Original Langue de chat is already delicious snack. There is risk to lost good taste by mixing other taste.
But Japanese snack company is brave enough to do that.

this brave try will need advanced technology. I think we should that advanced technology to fix nuclear power plant.

Anyway Japanese people never know what is Langue de chat. and They don’t understand English nor French.  They buy it because package is beautiful. That is Japanese. And I bought it because I am also Japanese.

Elaborated package design system.

Not only color and picture is beautiful but also shape is elaborated. If you see the side of package, package edge is round. And if you open the cover, notch is also rounded.
Langue de chat, Match taste Meiji Horn like expensive Chinese BURBERRY shirts (4)

And you can find beautiful green aluminum package neatly lined in package.
This give us small gorgeous feeling. or feel like a buying expensive stomach medicine.

Langue de chat, Match taste Meiji Horn like expensive Chinese BURBERRY shirts (6)
And I am surprised package cover system. We can easily and beautifully close cover again. It great gimmick.

All these detail enhance my snack time experience.

Langue de chat, Match taste Meiji Horn like expensive Chinese BURBERRY shirts (8)

Lose to Burberry? But taste of this snack win to Burberry shirts

Before tasting, cookie itself is artistic. I cannot find suitable word because I am not poet. But daringly say it’s like an expensive Chinese BURBERRY shirts design.

94a6f4619583405d0b60780a0c47f133.image.320x212

Maybe Chinese company mistakenly sue this Japanese snack company for violate their trademark right of copy Burberry.
Now tasting time.

Outside is crispy. And it’s sweet cookie but mixed with slightly bitter green tea taste. Inside is mild sweet chocolate. This chocolate’s hardness is like a whip cream.

Bit bitty but mainly sweet and crispy cookie at first but whippy inside chocolate. All elements lead you to happy time.

This chocolate snack is good job, this snack taste win to Burberry shirt, if Burberry shirts have taste.

Instant noodle Myojo

Chanpon, ramen noodle wiht full of vegitable. [Myojo Kodawari no ippin Chanpon]

Surprising instant noodle

When I know the price of this instant noodle, I am really surprised because it’s only JPY100 (one dollar). Package say, this instant noodle is carefully selected one, it use carefully selected foodstuff, and it use special soup using Japanese Hokkaidou scallop. in addition that, it is extra size.

If these explanation is true, this instant noodle should be ten times price or company staff starve to death.

What is Chanpon? what kind of ramen noodle?

Chanpon is one of the ramen noodle.  Chanpon, is a noodle dish that is a regional cuisine of Nagasaki, Japan. Characteristic of this noodle is that it is full of vegitable and seafood. it means that it is basically expensive more than standard ramen noodles.

In case of this instant noodle, [Myojo Kodawari no ippin Chanpon],

1. it is chanpon                                                                                           +JPY100
2, it use carefully selected foodstuff                                               +JPY500
3, it use special soup using Japanese Hokkaidou scallop        +JPY200
4, it is extra size.                                                                                     +JPY100
——————————————————————————————
Total price should be JPY1,000-

selling price    > >   JPY100-   Amazing price!

What a incredible business effort! or maybe this instant noodle is joking customer.

Anyway no Japanese people think so seriously about one dollar food if they don’t write blog.

Anyway i bought it because this package picture seem to be healthy. Recently I keep eating oily instant noodle and chocolate and chips. and I start to think about health.

Content of [Myojo Kodawari no ippin Chanpon]

It contains 1, Dried noodle 2,  powder soup  3, freeze dried vegetable & seafoods.

when I see this freeze dried ingredient package, I am surprised at the quantity and vriety.

it has

1, Cabage
2, Octopus,
3.Corn
4, Carot
5, Fish meat
6cloud ear mushroom

I admit that it is really great cost performance.

How about taste of [Myojo Kodawari no ippin Chanpon]

After pouring hot water, I open the package. Freeze doried ingredients are soggy.

Basically lots of instant noodle package picture is far image from real cooked. but this instant noodle is not so bad unlike. don’t you? anyway it is only JPY100-. we should this price.

But the most important thing is taste.

Soup is very mild seafood soup. not so bad, and noodle texture is springy.

little bit salty but it is not so oily.

I enjoy instant noodle eating time with this.

Chocolate snack Meiji seika Snack

Chocolate for health & beauty with 86% Cacao & 2200mg plyphenol is effective?

Why this is good for health & beauty?

According to the package, this chocolate contains 86% Cacao in addition to the high Cacao polyphenol.

There are no explanation why that is good for health & beauty.

They want to say this is good for health & beauty because it contains high polyphenol.

But I think almost all Japanese people don’t know what polyphenol is. So they should say “this chocolate is good for health & beauty because it contain high plyphenol”.

Maybe they cannot do it because it is illegal to write efficacy by Japanese Pharmaceutical laws.

So this package never says this is good for health & beauty. Exactly saying, it says

1, we think about beauty & health. It’s high Cacao polyphenol.
2, Chocolate effect
3, one package contain 2200mg polyphenol
4, 86% Cacao
5, New
6, Stand out cacao fragrance & taste.

This is their way of advertising.

I never deny the goodness of polyphenol. It must be good for beauty. But this chocolate contains lots of sugar & butter & emulsifier & oil etc. It is not best way to take polyphenol for health & beauty.

Agro forestry or agro-sylviculture

Package still say that this cacao is made by Agro forestry or agro-sylviculture. That Agro forestry cacao contains 13%.
You can understand English, so you will know what Agro forestry is.

But 99% Japanese people don’t know what Agroforesty is. There is no explanation about Agroforesty.

But strangely if we see this package “This cacao use Agroforesty, we start to believe this chocolate is good for health & beauty.

Anyway this is chocolate that is sold in glossary store. No customer buys it seriously for their health & beauty. We buy it just for enjoy taste.

Contents & taste & effect

This price is JPY210, its bit expensive among chocolate snack. So when you open the package, you will be disappointed that it’s lots of space in the package.

Each chocolate packed with gorgeous golden plastic. It’s elegant. But I want to say please use space efficiently.

Chocolate color is dark blown. Maybe it contains lots of Cacao.

How about taste?

It’s bitter and slightly sweet. I admit it is delicious.

How about effect of health and beauty ?

What do you think about me? am I beautiful? now you can understand the effect of this chocolate.

thank you

Maybe catholic never allow this lovely Package

If you are manly man, you will hesitate to pick up this package to go to checkout counter.

Tell the truth, I mistakenly bought it. I needed sexy lingerie at that time.

This price is JPY190. It is bit expensive comparing similar chocolate snack. But package catch copy says “taste is too much happy!” this price is JPY190. If I can buy happiness with JPY190, it is not so expensive.

This ALMOND strawberry is combine No1 sweet & No1 fruit. so this become No2 best snack.

In addition that, this strawberry chocolate is covering almond. One almond is inside of each one chocolate. According to this package, this almond seem to be “Premium nuts selection”. I don’t know what is it. Maybe almost all Japanese don’t understand it exactly. But such phrase make us excite for eating.

This almond covering chocolate snack is two layer. one is chocolate, the other is almond. this two layers give me unique chewing experience.

Chocolate & strawberry taste in addition to the unique chewing experience lead you “too much happy” time.

Chocolate snack Glico Snack

Glico, Mental balance chocolate “GABA” is for warrior in stressful society, but no effect proven

Cunning product name with marketing strategy

This product name is “Mental balance chocolate GAVA”.  and sub line is “It is for you who fight in stressful society”.

If you just only hear the name of this, you think it is tranquilizer or some bad drug that is sold on the dark night street. And if you know its price is just a few dollar, you soon buy it without hesitate.

Sorry but this is not such a fantastic drug. this is just a chocolate snack that is completely legally sold by Japanese normal confectionary company. You can eat it in front of police and you are still without arresting. and dentist become happy.

according to the package explanation, this chocolate seem to be good for your mental balance. but it is unbalance in nutrition. It contain lots of sugar & GABA. this GABA ease your stressful mental. I don’t know what is GABA. almost all Japanese people don’t know what is GABA.

But explanation on the package say this chocolate contain GABA, this is the reason this chocolate is good for you who is fighting in stressful society.

at that time, stupid Japanese consumer like me think that Oh! it contain GABA? and it is good for mental? So it will be good product and it will be good for mental health. I buy it. even if I don’t know what is GABA.

GABA or GEBA or GOBA or GEBA GOBO anything is ok. Consumer never think so seriously about GABA that is contained in this chocolate. because it is just a few dallor. we have lots of things to think seriously more than that, for example Fukushima nuclear power plant.

this is very cunning marketing strategy of this Confectionery company.

What is GABA, is it good really?

GABA is Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid. and it seem to be good for mental health. If it is so, package explanation should say this chocolate is good for mental health. but it never say so. it just only imply that this chocolate is for stressful people. Why ? because our pharmaceutical Affairs Law ban to advertise medical effect if it is not medicine.

It means that this chocolate never proven the mental easing effect officially.

But strangely lots of Japanese consumer buy it believing it is good for mental health. and they never get angry even if it has no effect.

But this chocolate could have good mental effect because any buyer don’t get angry that this chocolate have no effect.

Who care the taste? But it take care angry person

How is taste of this chocolate? it’s sweet. it’s certainly chocolate. or I  can say it’s quite normal chocolate taste. there are no surprising point in this chocolate taste.

But shape is regular hexahedron like a dice. and surface is

How is taste of this chocolate? it’s sweet. it’s certainly chocolate. or I can say it’s quite normal chocolate taste. there are no surprising point in this chocolate taste. and surface is melt-resistant.

maybe this is for angry people who is heat up guy who is get angry already.

I think this is Japanese product refinement, Attention to precise details and more reliable product.

20130704_0000
This package phrase say, “it is for you who fight in stressful society”. if you are not in stress, you need not buy this.

20130704_0002

20130704_0003
This bottom make it to stand by itself. We, Japanese business man need to stand it on their desk for their emergency stressful situation.
20130704_0005
this bag has zipper. you can stock chocolate in hermetic container. Now I have question. Do you seriously need to stock just a little chocolate in hermetic container ? at least I eat all chocolate at one time.
20130704_0006
compare package picture. and chocolate surface is melt-resistant.

First glance, it’s seem to be just a chocolate ball, but surprisingly inside is very soft gateau au chocolat soaked with chocolate.
same chocolate taste can be tasted differently by just one bite.

Soft soaked chocolate is coated with hard coating chocolate. and size is “one bite” size.

This chocolate is designed for Japanese business man.

we can throw it into mouse without staining by melted chocolate.

So we can eat it during office job.
Basically strict Japanese company ban to eat something during office hour except lunch time.

It means if we want to eat something during office hour, we must eat it secretly.

And Japanese business man must eat sweet during office our. Eating sweet during office hour is very important mission for Japanese business mans because we believe sweet snack give comfort feeling when we are very tired.

But we can not eat it openly during office hour. So some business man put these sweet in pencil case and eat it as if he don’t eat anything.

So this strong chocolate coating is very useful because it never melting in pencil case. And this size is good to throw it in mouth one time to pretend not eating.

This chocolate back up Japanese economy

And of course it is very rich taste. Two different taste and texture. Coating chocolate taste & gateau au chocolat chocolate taste unite in our mouth by just one bite.

This chocolate snack support hard working Japanese business man, and Japanese business man support our country.

If you see some Japanese products, please remind of this snack that support Japanese business man, and those Japanese products behind it.

and it support Japanese economy.

Chocolate snack Kabaya Snack

Sakusaku Panda, pretty sweet chocolate biscuit but back side is scarelly Ghostface

パンダの顔-485x728

Bite off pretty panda and chew it !

This pretty snack is good for chocolate freak because it use not only milk chocolate but also white chocolate on sweet crispy biscuit.

We can enjoy two different chocolate taste with biscuit at the same time, in addition that snack is pretty Panda face.

But you must be careful front side and back side because front side is certainly pretty panda face but back side is scarelly Ghostface.

 

Panda is animal in China. Beforetime China government give Japan Panda as a symbol of friendship.

And lots of Japanese people go to Ueno zoo where Panda is.

But recently Japan and china is not good relation. If China eat this pretty snack, our relation become good.

Bourbon Chocolate snack Potato chips Potato snack Snack

Jagachoco is mixed with chocolate & potato chips, save time but confusing taste

Confusing taste snack

We, Japanese people normally don’t try to eat potato chip with chocolate because potato chips is salty and oppositely chocolate is sweet.

Not so many person can imagine these things are in mouth at the same time and still delicious.

Chocolate  tip cokkie is understandable. because chocolate and cookie is both sweet and we can imagine it must be delicious. Chips plus sour cream and onion flavor is understandable because both is salty. But potate chips with chocolate is ununderstandable.

so normal conservative big company never try to sell Chocolate potato chips.

So I was surprised when I see this snack. and I was confusing. And I thought it could not be delicious.

But I love chocolate, and I love potato chips too. I eat both often different opotunity. and internal voice said to me that if youeat “Jagachoco” , you can save time and money.

But I never think it give me good taste. but my internal voice said to me again.

Certainly dalty and sweet never good taste convination. but if both go into stomach, it’s same result.

So I reluctantly buy “Jagachoco”.

And I eat it.

Jagachoco’s Potato chips is delicious. Jagachoco’s chocolate is delicious.

But I still cannot say Jagachoco is delicious or not.

I am still confusing.

When you eat Jagachoco in future, please tell me your opinion.
