This is one of my favorite snacks. This product is named “chocolate pie” but I am not sure if English speakers call this kind of sweets as “pie”. I mean I wonder if I should title “chocolate cake” or something not “pie”.
I think there are 2 major “choco-pie” manufacturers in Japan, one is Lotte and another is Morinaga. This one is from Morinaga. I prefer Morinaga’s choco-pie since the sponge is moist enough. But Lotte’s choco-pie has more different flavors.
| Taste |
| ★★★★★ Good! I just like it! I feel Morinaga’s Choco Pie has more moisture sponge cake than Lotte. If you like less moisture cake you may prefer Lotte’s Choco Pie. As for the variation of the flavor, I would say Lotte wins. |
| Price |
| ★★★☆☆ Average. Around 250 yen. |
| Calorie |
| ★★★★★ 155 kcal per 1 unit (individual package). I’m able to be satisfied just having one because of the rich taste but it’s only 155 kcal! |
| Easy to get? |
| ★★★☆☆ I got this at AEON, one of the biggest supermarkets in Japan. Although there’s a label says “limited time only” I see this product almost every year so you will also find this when you visit Japan around from late August to October. |
| Get again? |
| ★★★★★ Definitely! I get this every year. I cannot find anything to improve about this product. |
