{"product_id":"meiji-takenoko-no-sato-strawberry","title":"Meiji Takenoko no Sato Strawberry \u0026 Chocolat — 61g","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe strawberry version of Japan's bamboo-shoot cookie: the same crumbly Takenoko no Sato cookie under a two-layer coat of sweet-tart strawberry chocolate and a mellower chocolate. The strawberry is bright and a little sharp, not lolly-sweet; there's real strawberry powder in the recipe. Buy it if you like strawberry chocolate; if you'd rather have the plain chocolate original, this is the wrong box. Takenoko no Sato is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the pack: たけのこの里いちご＆ショコラ — \"ichigo\" is strawberry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you're getting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you know Meiji's Apollo, the little strawberry-and-milk-chocolate cones, this is that flavour idea wearing a cookie. We stock Apollo too.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA recurring flavour, not a permanent one: it has come and gone since 2020 and is in an active run now. If you like it, don't assume it'll be here next season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe sharp edge is deliberate: there's a food acid in the recipe (an acidulant), so it finishes tart rather than sugary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe cookie underneath is the same crumbly one as the plain box, and it stays crisp under the double coat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe box is 61 g, a touch smaller than the plain box's 63 g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens\u003c\/strong\u003e: egg, milk and wheat, plus almond, soy and macadamia: the same six as the plain Takenoko no Sato, with almond paste in the cookie. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo boxes are easy to confuse: Meiji also sells a \u003cem\u003ekinoko\u003c\/em\u003e (mushroom) strawberry version, a different product on a cracker stem. This is the bamboo-shoot cookie one. Like the whole family it travels soft in an Australian summer; keep it below 28 °C and out of hot cars and sunny parcel boxes, and some fridge time firms it back up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meiji","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48307133219042,"sku":"SH-SNK-0048","price":5.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0824\/1312\/5858\/files\/meiji-takenoko-ichigo-box-front.webp?v=1788512301","url":"https:\/\/shintop.com.au\/products\/meiji-takenoko-no-sato-strawberry","provider":"Shintop Trading Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
