I tried Famima's 'Mala Cheese Nikuman' with plenty of spicy minced meat and cheese wrapped in a black skin.

'Mala Cheese Nikuman ', which is made by wrapping spicy Japanese pepper and mild cheese in a black skin, has appeared in FamilyMart from December 7, 2021 (Tuesday). It is said that the mildness of the cheese and the spiciness of the Japanese pepper are addictive, so I actually ate it and checked the taste.

The steamer in front of the cash register has a POP that appeals to Mala cheese meat buns.

I got the mala cheese meat bun safely and brought it back.

When you take it out of the wrapping paper, you will see a black mala cheese bun.

When I broke the mala cheese meat bun by hand, the cheese grew steadily.

When I actually eat it, the black skin part has an ordinary 'meat bun skin' taste, and I do not feel any special flavor. When you eat the ingredients, you can feel the spicy spiciness of Japanese pepper, the stinging spiciness of red pepper, and the sweetness of pork at the same time. Cheese is concentrated in the center of the ingredients, so it's interesting that the taste changes as you eat. However, although the cheese has a light taste and can play a role in mildly softening the spiciness of the ingredients, the flavor peculiar to cheese was hardly felt.

Mala cheese meat bun is 150 yen including tax and has appeared in FamilyMart nationwide from December 7, 2021 (Tuesday).
