I tried ``Pino Strawberry Shortcake'' where the sourness of strawberries melts with fresh cream ice cream in the mouth

A new product of Morinaga Milk Industry's ice cream 'Pino' series, ' Pino Strawberry Shortcake ' will be pre-sold at convenience stores from May 16, 2023 (Tuesday). I bought and tried to eat what happens when the classic 'Pino' is made into a strawberry flavor.

I bought 'Pino Strawberry Shortcake' and normal 'Pino'. Normal was a collaboration specification package with the movie 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie' .

Each raw material is quite different like this, and the percentage of non-fat milk solids and milk fat is also different. Vegetable oil, sugar, lactose, dairy products, cocoa butter, and strawberry powder are used in the “Strawberry Chocolate Coaching” of “Pinot Strawberry Shortcake”. You can also see that strawberry concentrated juice is also included.

Nutritional information is almost the same, both are 31 kcal per grain. There are 6 pieces in one box, so if you eat all of them, it will be 186 kcal.

On the back of the box is a message that says, 'I've made a blissful piece packed with the taste of strawberry shortcake.'

When opening it, red pinots were lined up like this. Also on the back of the lid is a PR message that says, 'We've recreated the delicious parts of shortcake!' The pick is red, different from the normal blue.

The contents are not strawberry ice cream, but strawberry juice is used as a secret ingredient in fresh cream-like ice cream with 9% milk fat content. Perhaps because of this, the taste has a firm strawberry acidity, and it is mixed with the sweetness of fresh cream-like ice cream, so you can enjoy a completely different taste from normal Pinot. In addition, although the outer grain is a sponge cake-flavored topping, it was small in the ice cream, and the sponge cake-like feeling was somewhat weak. It might have been better if it was a little bigger.

'Pino Strawberry Shortcake' is 216 yen including tax.
