When we hear of Meiji, we think Meiji Hello Panda! Pocky! Meiji milk. There's something else Meiji is proud of. Its nature-themed cookies. You know the mushrooms heads, tree stumps, acorns.
A seemingly straightforward concept, but they can permutate into so many variations that the mushroom head is raspberry chocolate, stalk dark brown, the mushroom head grainy strawberry, stalk normal pretzel, the mushroom head beige, caramel flavoured white chocolate, stalk normal pretzel. In this one, it is strawberry and white chocolate on a normal pretzel stalk, inspired by ichigo dipped in white chocolate. NTBC, there is another kind of strawberry and white chocolate, but it is inspired by the strawberry cheesecake, to be exact in Japanese ways.

When you look at them, it is just a pretzel biscuit with white chocolate hardened on it, as a mould, yet it can create so much waves of imagination! Depending on where you want to start first, the mushroom head is full on the berry flavour, intense with a fruity twang, followed by a smooth, rich white chocolate and finally complemented well with the plain, slightly fragrant and snappy stick. You'll be happy enough holding the salted sticks, ending up eating them to wipe off the sweetness of the berry.
P.S. Looking at the other nature-inspired cookies, the tree stump is a tree stump, but the acorn is actually not acorns but bamboo shoot buds! Speaking about japanese cultivation and its cuisine. These mushrooms in pink seem to be more than what it's about, some fungi from fairyland, an ice lolly, or an ichigo treat off a stick.
