The ingredients and calorie information are listed on the outer box. The ingredients for 'Strawberry Condensed Milk' include strawberry puree, cream, and sugar. 'Matcha Tart' contains cream, matcha, and graham crackers, while 'Red Bean Milk Pudding' contains cream and strained red bean paste.

The calorie counts are as follows: Strawberry condensed milk is 114kcal, matcha tart is 158kcal, and red bean milk pudding is 153kcal.

The box contained two each of 'Strawberry Condensed Milk,' 'Matcha Tart,' and 'Red Bean Milk Pudding.'

This is the first item, 'Strawberry Condensed Milk.'

As soon as you open the lid, the ice cream appears.

This ice cream combines strawberries, whose tartness is more pronounced than their sweetness, with condensed milk, whose strong sweetness masks the tartness. As a result, the tartness quickly disappears, and the sweetness dominates your mouth.

The following is the 'Matcha Tart'.

This product has a strong matcha aroma and a relatively mild bitterness, with the sweetness of the cream being more prominent. It's easy to eat for those who don't like bitterness, but those who prefer a stronger bitter taste might find it a little lacking.

It contains cookies, offering a different kind of sweetness and a lighter texture compared to the cream.

The third item is 'Red Bean Milk Pudding'.

The sweetness of the cream is definitely dominant, and the sweetness of the red bean blends in with the cream, creating a pleasant sensation on the tongue. The 'bean' flavor of the red bean is subtle, allowing you to enjoy a simple red bean flavor without any unpleasant aftertaste.

The suggested retail price for the 'Japanese Sweets Assortment (Strawberry Condensed Milk, Matcha Tart, Red Bean Milk Pudding)' is 1,139 yen (tax included), and it is sold at supermarkets, convenience stores, department stores, and other retailers nationwide.
