Creamy but not too sweet. Even if you are not a matcha lover, you will swoon at this. It's meant to be an omiyage (travel souvenir) but comes with a short lifespan of 3 days. Anyway, if you miss the matcha flavour, fear not as there are always the regular chocolate and seasonal flavours such as Mango, Chestnut and Strawberries.
But if one is keen to buy something of a longer shell life, the signature tri-layer chocolate cookie sandwich is highly recommended. These are literally Langue De chats which are even lighter and more crumbly than Shiroi Koibito. The original dark chocolate flavour is pretty intense, but I prefer the white chocolate version as it has a sweet milky fragrance to it.
In fact, it is not necessary to always go for Shiroi Koibito when there are such excellent biscuits around, isn't it?
