TRENDING IN JAPAN: Covering Strawberries In Green Tea Chocolate

A sweet new craze is hitting Japan and it’s probably one of the beautiful creations we’ve seen all year. A company is covering strawberries with Matcha Green Tea Chocolate, RocketNews24 reports.

Itohkyuemon, a Japanese tea company, has introduced a new confectionary for their customers to enjoy. Called Ochame, which means tea strawberries, the dessert is made with white chocolate that’s mixed together with a green Matcha powder. This results in a stunning bright green chocolate coating that the bright red strawberries are dipped into.

What results is a a complex balance of bitter, tart and sweet. You can get you hands on an 2.5-ounce batch at the online store here. They go for about 1296 yen which is roughly $11.
