Good to know
In their own words
It really is crunchier than before!
「ほんまに前よりサクサクなってる!」
from monolog, a Japanese review site
Less pastry flavour, and the chocolate seemed to taste cheaper.
「パイの風味が少なく、チョコもより安っぽい味になったように感じました。」
from monolog
I love the flaky pastry with the chocolate.
「サクサクなパイ生地と、チョコの組み合わせが大好きです。」
from monolog
The flaky pastry is good, but it sticks to your teeth, and that's the downside.
「サクサクパイは良いんだけど歯にくっついて食べづらいのが難点。」
from monolog
I always liked Koala's March, but this one's crunchy texture is great.
「コアラのマーチはもともと好きだけど、これはザクザク食感がいい。」
from monolog
Compared with the individually wrapped family pack, the pieces hold up better when you open it, so they keep their shape and stay crisp.
「個包装のファミリーパックより開けた時の保存状態が良いので、型崩れなくパリッとした食感が楽しみやすいですね。」
from monolog
Somehow they were thin, and they didn't taste as good to me.
「なんだか厚さが薄くておいしく感じなかった」
from monolog
Among chocolate snacks, it's in my top three.
「チョコ菓子の中では、三本指に入るレベルで、自分は好きです。」
from monolog
The unwrapped box goes soft if you don't finish it once it's open, so I don't buy it much, but when we're sharing, this is the one I buy.
「個包装ではない箱売りは開けると食べ切らないと湿るのであまり買いませんが、シェアして食べる時はこちらを買います。」
from monolog
Pie no Mi pairs crisp pastry with milk chocolate, and the faint saltiness of the pastry brings out the sweetness of the chocolate.
「パイの実はサクサクしたパイ生地とミルクチョコの組み合わせで、パイ🥧の微かな塩味がチョコ🍫の甘さを引き出しているんですよね。」
from mognavi, a Japanese food and drink review site
Each piece is bigger and crisper than in the individually wrapped family pack, so I prefer the box.
「ファミリーパックよりもひと粒が大きくてサクサクしているので、箱の方が好きです。」
from monolog
It's good eaten chilled.
「冷やして食べると美味しい」
from monolog
Once I start I can't stop, and before I know it they're gone.
「食べ始めると止まらなくて気がついたら無くなってる」
from monolog
The crumbs fly everywhere, which is a waste, so I always save it for home and eat it with ice cream.
「粉が飛び散るのでもったいないので私はいつも家で帰ってからアイスクリームと一緒に食べます。」
from mognavi
I like eating them frozen.
「冷凍して食べるのが好きです🫶🏻」
from mognavi
It's one of the few chocolate snacks my child, who doesn't much like chocolate, will eat.
「チョコがあまり好きじゃない子供が食べれる 数少ないチョコ菓子の1つです。」
from monolog
I love giving them a quick toast at home and eating them warm!
「家でさっとやく?温めて食べるのがすき~~!!!!」

The maker
Lotte launched Pie no Mi in 1979. A designer took the idea from the breadfruit tree, a dream of a tree that grows bread one loaf after another, and drew pies hanging from its branches instead. That is the name: pie fruit.
The two squirrels on the box are the line's characters, Pairu and Rokushii.
In 2024, for the snack's 45th anniversary, Lotte reworked the 64-layer pastry for more crunch. The reason it gave was its fans: asked about it, they said they think of Pie no Mi as a pastry first and a chocolate snack second.
