Treats: Another Pino for my belly, it IS ice cream season, after all...

I'm always looking for new treats to try from my local コンビに (konbini). What can I say? I'm a sugar fiend. Especially when it's sugar mixed with cocoa... oh yes. I am one of those people. I love me some chocolate!

Today I tried out a new flavour of Pino Ice Cream made by the Morinaga Company. Pino Ice is a chunk of ice cream slightly bigger than the size of a rolo chocolate that is covered in delicious milk chocolate. They have several flavours, one of which is their newest flavour: Rouge Berry.




Pino: Rouge Berry is a blueberry, raspberry, and black currant flavoured gelato coated with raspberry flavoured chocolate. Isn't it just dreamy?

Here are a few shots of my experience with Rouge Berry Pino in the real life wilds:

The box. What a beaut!
 
6 delicious pods in a pack, complete with golden eating tool.

It was a warm day, these guys frosted up in no time.

The delicious insides... can't say that often without sounding creepy.

The gelato flavour was very strong, and with the raspberry chocolate flavour mixed in, it tasted a bit like a red creamsicle. Not quite enough chocolate flavour for me, but it's definitely a good choice for anyone who loves raspberry, gelato, or taking frustration out by poking things with a small stick.

Have you tried this flavour of Pino before? Would you?
