Hello.
This is May in Japan.

Today I'd like to introduce the chocolate of the winter season limitation in Japan.
I think that many people are waiting that this chocolate is sold every year.

This is it.
The name is "Meltykiss".
This chocolate is roasted soybean flour taste, there are strawberry taste and plane taste.

There are 10-15 chocolates in this one box.
It is wrapped individually one by one.

It is a bite-sized piece of chocolate.

Soybean flour taste chocolate is in the bitter chocolate, and cacao powder is covered with around chocolates.
The chocolate really melts in the mouth.
It is like the truffle chocolate.

It is very delicious, so it is very popularity in Japan.
It's the winter season limitation, try it !!

It's a snowy day.

Hello.
This is May in Japan.

It snowed today.
The weather was stormy nationwide.

When I got up this morning, I looked at the outside of the window.
The ground was covered slightly with snow.

Snow is rarely piled up in my region, because my region, Kyushu is a mild climate.
Even if snow falls, snow is rarely piled up.

I made a snowman for the first time in a while.
Because there was little snow, it became the very small snowman.
The snowman has melted soon.

I want it to clear up tomorrow.
