Breath Chocolate (呼吸チョコ), when translated into Chinese, is called “呼吸巧克力”. This product has been on the market for a long time and is not a new product that just recently appeared. Breath Chocolate is mainly categorized by four regions in Kansai: Kitashinchi, Osaka – Cocoa flavor; Gion, Kyoto – Matcha flavor; Nara – Soybean powder flavor (きな粉); Kitano, Kobe – Coffee flavor. This time, they have also added a limited edition strawberry flavor, but it does not belong to any specific region.
■ Strawberry Flavor

Opening it up, it looks like a small dinosaur egg. The taste is quite fragrant.

It looks like the inside has a matcha flavor.

After biting into it, you can see that the inside is almond fruit, but the outer layer is not simple. The almond fruit is wrapped in a layer of caramel, and then topped with white chocolate (such as mascarpone milk), and finally blended with several types of Uji matcha…. However, I don’t find it bitter at all, instead, the flavors blend together wonderfully!

One bite, and it’s caramel wrapped around almond fruit, then blended with mascarpone cheese into white chocolate, and finally dusted with a bit of cocoa powder for a slight bitterness, but it’s still delicious… Even someone like me who doesn’t like chocolate thinks it’s tasty!

This is Kobe Kitano. The exterior of Kitano is covered with coffee powder, somewhat resembling the flavor of tiramisu chocolate…

Above is the complete introduction of Breath Chocolate~ I think it tastes pretty good, although the portion is a bit small, but it should be a good choice as a souvenir.
