This is the Bourbon Alfort Mini Chocolate Kuchidoke Strawberry, a strawberry-flavoured chocolate biscuit featuring the equivalent of 40% fresh strawberry by weight.

Each box contained 12 pieces. Each piece presented with a rectangular layer of strawberry-flavoured chocolate set atop a small cocoa biscuit base. The chocolate measured approximately 3.5 × 2.5 × 0.5 cm and carried a pink hue speckled with red, while the biscuit beneath was brown-black and slightly smaller at roughly 2.5 × 2 × 0.5 cm. On opening, there was a sweet-tart aroma of fresh strawberry.

Initial contact delivered a firm chocolate that yielded to an audible crunch from the biscuit beneath. The biscuit provided the structural foundation of the bite, contributing an unsweetened cocoa profile reminiscent of an Oreo cookie. Almost simultaneously, the strawberry chocolate began to melt across the palate, releasing a concentrated sweetness evocative of fresh strawberry juice. Through the mid-palate, the chocolate developed a rich yet clean strawberry character, with a velvety creaminess that softened the contrast between the crisp biscuit and melting chocolate. The sweetness remained pronounced without becoming cloying, allowing the fruit character to remain the focal point. The finish resolved into lingering sweet strawberry notes lifted by the tartness of the freeze-dried strawberry pieces, which remained lightly on the tongue and provided a refreshing contrast to the creamy body of the chocolate.
