Shiroi Koibito White Lover White & Black Chocolate 24pcs - PACK OF 4

Japan is known to have many different and quirky souvenirs they sell, including the edible variety. They showcase what the places in Japan specialize in and they even gift wrap the things that westerners would otherwise think it's unnecessary to do so. There are a lot of great edible souvenirs to choose from. However, this is not one of them! In fact, despite its freshness and a hint of lemon zest, it’s too sweet! Even the dark chocolate is much sweeter than the white chocolate, which is very odd. It's surprising that even the export version, the "Hokkaido no Koibito", is better with its buttery flavor and balanced sweetness! At least this Shiroi Koibito selection is the best value of the Shiroi Koibito series. Nevertheless, it's as though you can simply make a much better version by yourself that’s not so sweet. In fact, you might as well go for the separate Langue de Chat cookies sold in the many Japanese markets, like the Daiso stores, then make the filling close to how this company makes it. The sweetness from those cookies from Daiso is just right and has a nice hint of vanilla!

These treats are excellent, but i can't in good faith give a positive rating on expired goods. i understand wanting to sell your product and not letting your tasty cookies go to waste but it sucks that i got a box past it best used date and its sucks more because i wanted to gift my box to a friend.

I love how thin, crispy and delicious the cookies are. I would actually prefer them without the filling, but they’re really good either way. They remind me only slightly of Milano cookies, but these are way better, due to the thinner and much crispier cookie. These also come with white chocolate and dark chocolate filling. Surprisingly, I like the white better, even though I’m not a big fan of white chocolate. Both flavors are quite tasty.Bonus: the packaging is absolutely lovely, and it comes with an insert showing other products (too bad I can’t read Japanese). I don’t know if a gift wrap is standard, or if mine only came that way due to the holidays. Regardless, the box itself is nice, and the individual wrapping of the cookies is perfect!These cookies make a great gift for anyone you want to give a pleasant surprise.I’ll order these again.

Great cookies. These cookies are very similar to all the cookies I brought back from Japan. I’ve noticed Japanese cookies are relatively expensive. However, they taste fantastic! 24 pieces for $24.00 isn’t too bad. I’ve have had cookie packages of 10 piece of less for around $11-$13; therefore, this is a decent deal.The package is very cute which is typical for a Japanese snack. It is also stated on the packing that the cookies are made in Hokkaido. 👍🏼 Will definitely repurchase again.

I used to love this when I was 13. Either my taste changed or the flavor became more artificial over the years. The worst part is that the biscuits were broken and Amazon refused to compensate

I bought this because I was told this is a popular souvenir for people visited japan. I’m very disappointed with the taste. I love Japanese snacks in general, but this is just too sweet, and this is said from someone lives in the United States.

Arrived in great condition. Would definitely order again. I had these years ago when I visited the factory in Hokkaido. Expiration date isn't until about 4 months from now, plenty of time to enjoy them! After having lived in Japan, I can attest to Japanese products such as cookies generally having a shorter expiration date as they tend not to use all the chemicals Americans do in their food.

I just received them yesterday beautifully wrapped and presented in a box that is too beautiful to through away after eating all of the cookies! Anyways on to the cookies, they aren't like any other shortbread you've tasted before these are high quality that you can taste and it isn't dry or chalky. Definitely give these a try because they are so worth it plus the prime! I do t have to wait a few weeks just to eat these bad boys, I will definitely order another box soon. Also don't be guilty if you don't share trust me I wouldn't because they're too darn good!
