I tried a valentine-limited Torahaya "sheep au chocolat" that fused chocolate and sheepskin

ShepherdIt is said that it was the soup boiled with sheep meat originally to start using red beans instead of meat in Japan. To add such element of chocolate to such shepherds Trajaya Paris store only "Sheepskin au chocolatAlthough it is valentine's for a limited time, it is treated also in Japan's Toraya. 2015 is a sheep year and Valentine is near, so I tried to check what kind of food I actually purchased.

"Yohana au chocolat" which this was purchased at Toraya. It was individually wrapped with black tiger wrapping paper.


Sheepskin au chocolat is limited time limited quantity limited store, this time purchased at Kyoto Takashimaya. When asked to the shop people, it is 50 pieces a day only, but there are many advance reservations, and in the case of Kyoto Takashimaya you can only say about 10 pieces a day if it is a sale without reservation. It is sold at Takashimaya since February 8, but on the 8th it opened soon at 10 o'clock and seems to have been sold out soon. In addition, the expiration date is 14 days from the date of purchase since purchase.


When opening the wrapping paper, a box with a "tiger" mark appeared.


This is the size of the box.


Paccari. Inside there was a description of the sheep and au chocolat and a comb.


Sheepskin au chocolat was originally a limited item sold at Toraya Paris store. It is "a bite-sized sweet covered with granulated sugar in the sheepskin with bitter chocolate and rum."


Sheepskin au chocolat comes in 9 pieces in all.


The granulated sugar on the surface is rather fine.


A grain of one grain is about the size to pinch with your fingertips. Because it was "Chocolat", I thought of a raw chocolate-like feeling, but when I brought it with my hands the surface was somewhat hard and there was not a melting atmosphere.


Trying to cut it looks like this. It is a cross section with a slightly grainy appearance, and it looks like sheep ice more than raw chocolate.


When I try to eat it, I feel the texture of granulated sugar which is covered on the surface which was first sharified and then the taste of red beans. The main is shepherd, but the fragrance of bitter chocolate spreads in the mouth in a pursuit of azuki beans, but it is soft enough to use the expression "melting in the mouth" though she is a shepherd. The fragrance of rum is not too strong, not too strong, it smells fluffily. It is very delicately finished, every element is intertwined exquisitely without protruding, it may be "an evil way" for sheepskin lovers, but it is delicious even for people who do not usually eat soju in the usual way It is supposed to be able to eat.


A combination of Japanese tea and Yanpa is the royal road, but sheepskin au chocolat has a strong element of "western" so coffee goes well.


There are things that used tea at Tarahaya's sheepskin, but rather than "sheepskin" rather than it, the element of sum is strong, so finish that anyone of us can eat. People who are not good at cooked chocolate, as well as those who say that Valentine's just chocolate has gotten tired is also worth purchasing.
