Meito Puku Puku Tai Choco
Puku Puku Tai Choco (Price: 60 yen) is one of the products representing Meito, a Nagoya-based food company known for Alphabet Chocolate (アルファベットチョコレート).
The motif of this snack is Taiyaki pancake, and in its name, Pukupuku (ぷくぷく) stands for something (in this case, Tai or sea bream) rising and sinking in the water, making bubbles.
The inside is aerated chocolate associated with bubbles, which fish-shaped wafers cover. As with Taiyaki, the Monaka will never disappoint you with its good taste and pleasant texture.
The sea bream fish rarely has heart-shaped scales, so let’s look carefully. If you can find them, you are lucky!
