Review of Karinto from Nukamo

we chose ``coffee'' and ``black tea'' from a total of 10 types of Karinto I actually tried it.

First of all, make your coffee crispy.

It has a shiny and beautiful jet black appearance. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a bittersweet taste. The sweetness is modest, so it may be more of a candy for adults.

The coating on the surface is not thick, so the texture is light and easy to eat. The more you eat, the less you notice the bitterness, and you end up reaching for it one after another.

The taste goes well with sweet cafe latte, cocoa, hot milk, etc.

Next, I had a cup of tea.

The moment I put this in my mouth, the scent of tea leaves spread out. Even if you eat it without looking at the package, you can probably tell that it tastes like black tea. The sweetness is elegant and suppressed to the extent that it does not interfere with the flavor of the tea leaves.

And the texture of the fabric is very gentle. The texture is not greasy and falls apart easily. The elegant flavor makes you feel like you can eat as many as you want.

In addition to black tea, it was also delicious with coffee, milk, or green tea.

Both the ``coffee'' and ``black tea'' flavors were so delicious that I would definitely like to try the other flavors as well. You can have more fun choosing what flavor to eat next!
