This dessert is chilled so it is a nice alternative to ice cream on a warmer day. The flavours in it work together surprisingly well, with the sakura, milk pudding, and white chocolate mixing differently in every mouthful. The main attraction is the sakura, but the white chocolate pops in and prevents the taste buds from getting bored of the milk pudding or the sakura taste. Its portion is also large enough to leave you satisfied but small enough to stop you from overeating without spending more money on another cup.

It’s best-served chilled, so shelf life probably isn’t that long. That means if you’re planning to buy a batch and hoard it, the pudding may go off if not properly stored. Since it’s also a pudding sweet sauce and white chocolate, its calorie content is quite high. Unfortunately, this item is seasonal, so it may be nearing the end of availability by the time this review goes up. If you decide to hoard a stash of this stuff, which you would undoubtedly NOT be judged for, it may not be such a bad idea.
