Biscuit-y Vendredi

Morinaga Well Cookie

The store owner asked ‘Have you tried this?’.

‘Why, no I haven’t actually.’

‘It’s very popular, I have no idea why. I’ve been re-stocking this again and again.’ she responded in quite an exasperated tone.

‘Hmm… Ok let me try one. I never thought of getting this because it’s got chocolate biscuits.’ Ayu picks up a box and put it into the shopping basket.

The box yells ‘WELL’ at you. It’s either saying ‘well, are you going to eat me or not?’ or ‘get WELL!’ or ‘Well well well….’ depending on your mood that day I guess. The cookies are individually packed in yellow or brown, depending on the flavor. The Lemons are on the left and the Chocs are on the right. Like this

There’s nothing cute about these. No cartoons on the box. No printed images on the biscuits. Nothing vaguely adorable on the individual packages. In fact, my first impression was ‘Hmm, these biscuits are very neat.’ (Read: I have been doing my research and feverishly looking for loopholes, therefore the almost nutzoid idea) But anyways. They do inform you that they are ‘The New Standard Biscuit’.

Within each pack you will find delicious cookies with delectable cream sandwiched in between. The chocolate has vanilla-flavored cream, while the yellow-buttery biscuit has lemon-flavored. I was so glad the chocolate wasn’t actually too sweet; in fact it was hinging towards bitter chocolates.

So… get WELL with these biscuits They are good!

Rating: 7.5 out of 10
After Taste: I can’t really eat much of these but they aren’t exactly sweet, so I guess if I really wanted to I can finish the whole box in a sitting, perhaps.
Website: The official website is here. And look they have another website, it’s got a recipe page as well. Too bad it’s all in Japanese but the pictures make me hungry.
