At the Fujiya pastry shop, I found a cute macaron with a Sanrio character as a motif. It is "Sanrio Characters Macaron" that has been on sale since February 2018.
In addition to the standard 6 characters (including Peko-chan), a limited number of Little Twin Stars (Kikirara) are now available. The price is 180 yen (tax included) each.
The standard characters and tastes are "Hello Kitty (Amaou)", "My Melody (Franboise)", "Pompompurin (Lemon)", "Cinnamoroll (Vanilla)", "Kerokerokeroppi (Matcha)", and "Peko-chan (Chocolat)". Flavors that match the color of each character are assigned.
The limited edition Little Twin Stars has lychee for Kiki and strawberry cheesecake for Lara.
The lychee taste of Kiki is quite reproducible. The transparent, juicy sweetness combined with the blue appearance makes it very refreshing.
Lara's strawberry cheesecake taste is more than you can imagine! You can enjoy the flavor of sweet and sour strawberry and rich cheese.
In each case, the dough has a crisp and light texture. It's not too sweet and not too heavy, and it's a perfect taste for summer tea time.
Little Twin Stars will be on sale by the end of July. Depending on the sales, it may be sold out earlier, so if you are interested, please do so as soon as possible.
Other characters are on sale as standard items. You can buy from one, so you can use it as a gift in any combination you like!
