Most convenience stores release a range of different cream puff flavors throughout the year and this almond and vanilla one is available from Family Mart at the moment. The outer choux cream pastry has a good chew to it, and the inner filling contains an almond flavored custard cream and a vanilla whipped cream. I feel like almond and vanilla work really well together as a flavor combination, and I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys both of those things. I was pleased with the price, too -- at under 200 yen that feels like quite a good deal these days!

The biggest downside about this to me is that it's a limited time only thing. I thought it had a nice lightness to it even though it's a choux cream pastry, and I wish that it was around as a permanent thing. I don't have much to complain about with this product, really -- the flavor combination was great, the pastry outer provided a nice, chewy contrast to the creamy fillings, and the price felt pretty decent at 198 yen including tax. Keep an eye out for this at your nearest Family Mart store if it sounds appealing to you. Happy eating!
