Green tea-covered strawberries

Mujirushi Ryohin goes by many names, as it’s also called Mujirushi or just plain old Muji by shoppers. You’ll find similar variety in the chain’s product lineup, as the lifestyle chain can sell you everything from furniture to kitchen appliances to clothing.

Mujirushi even has a food section, stocked with pastas, curries, and soup mixes. If you’re hungry right now, there’s also such a wide selection of candies and snacks that it can be tough picking just one to munch on…unless you’ve got a thing for strawberries and green tea, because then the chain’s new green-tea covered strawberries are the obvious choice.

The new candies are a variation on Mujirushi’s white chocolate-covered strawberries, its best-selling sweets. This time, though, powdered Uji matcha, Japan’s most prized variety of tea, is mixed into the white chocolate, giving an eye-catching color and refreshing bitterness to the covering of the freeze-dried strawberries.

The green tea strawberries carry a slight premium, costing 300 yen for a 50-gram bag, compared to the regular white chocolate’s 280 yen. They’re still a very affordable indulgence, though. On sale at Mujirushi locations throughout Japan and the Mujirushi online shop.

Uji mtacha is excellent, but freeze dried strawberries are nasty. Pass.
