La Mocca Bianca e Nero
One drink that has been piquing my interest for the past few months is Seattle’s Best Coffee’s Black and White Mocha. What it is: a shot of espresso flavored with chocolate syrup and topped up with milk, cream, and a dusting of cocoa powder. What it tastes like: Yummers! Moreover, it comes with a free checkerboard cookie (chocolate/vanilla) that peeks out over the cream. I don’t usually go to SBC for a caffeine fix, seeing how their preparations are a tad too sweet for my palate, but I’ll make an exception with this particular product. It looks cute, tastes wonderful - what more can you ask for in a coffee?
***New Product Alert*** Jap-a-holics like me will probably go for this new product that just popped into the snacks section at J-Box. Made by Kawashidou, this little packet contains - drumroll please - green tea-flavored senbei. That’s right: we’re looking at rice crackers with the bittersweet taste of matcha baked into them. What’s more is that these taste more like western cookies than traditional rice crackers. If you know anyone who’s a sucker for green tea and senbei, you should turn them on to this particular treat. (Eh, Takafumi-sama…! Would you like some matcha senbei? At least, you won’t have to brew tea anymore…)
