Toppo flavors

Here are a bunch of new flavors from Toppo! Some of them are a bit strange.

This is praline flavor. I'm not really sure what it is, but it's some kind of French confectionery made with nuts and sugar syrup.

This is some kind of Asian chestnut (和栗 - waguri) dessert flavor. Dessert made with it is really yummy, so I might try it if I see it on sale somewhere.

Next, eclair flavor! I can't figure out what that Kanji says. It's not in my dictionary so I can't even look it up. If anybody knows what it is, let me know!

EDIT: So I found out what the Kanji is. It's coffee. I never knew there was Kanji for that... Anyway, it's 珈琲 - koohii. Learn something new every day.

The last one, strawberry omelet flavor. I find this to be the strangest. The picture looks more like a crepe, and the English on the side says "Strawberry Cream Soft Cake".

These last three are part of the adult (大人 - otona) series. I guess it's for grown up people with more refined taste? I can understand the chestnut dessert and the eclair flavored ones, but I don't see how the omelet/cake one fits into an "adult" taste. Hmmm...

New Meiji chocolate flavors

Here are some new chocolate flavors from Meiji. They both seem rather fancy, and sound pretty yummy too. They're very tempting, but not with that price (210 yen). I'll see if they hit the 99 conbini later on. They look like they'd be good dessert chocolate.

Cheesecake tart. I'm not sure why they called it a tart though. It looks like a regular cheesecake to me. But I love cheesecake. Especially the crust. Though I guess they can't really put a crust in these tiny square chocolate pieces, huh.

This one is strawberry mille-feuille. Looks really good too, except for the whole strawberry part.

More strawberry stuff

On the left, we have Kinokono Yama with honey-flavored (はちみつ風味 - hachimitsu fuumi) strawberry milk (いちごミルク - ichigo miruku) flavor. What? Right. I don't know either. On right, it's Takenokono Hoshi with regular strawberry milk and flavored cookie (味わいクッキー - ajiwai kukkii)? I think it's that dark part at the bottom?

For something seemingly so simple, I sure am confused.

Pocky flavors

Some new Pocky stuff out.

There's that strawberry thing going on again on the left. I guess it's "dessert" Pocky because it's bigger? Yea, that sounds dirty, I know.

The other two are "marble" Pocky, though I don't really know why. I think it's because there're those swirls like in marble cake? Who knows. Chocolate framboise in the red box and mix berries on the right.

Kit Kat flavors

Here are some new Kit Kat flavors for this season.

Faint strawberry flavor (あじわい苺 - ajiwai ichigo) on the left. For some reason there are a lot of strawberry flavored stuff around lately. And on the right is taro/potato flavor for college (大学いも味 - daigaku imo aji)? I think it's another one of those things you give to students getting ready for college entrance exams for good luck.

And red bean flavor (おしるこ味 - oshiruko aji)! I didn't figure out what it was til later. I love red bean. I should've tried it. ::sob::
