[Limited Quantity] 'White Crystal Snow Short'

As a symbol of this year's theme, "White Crystal Christmas," we have created a strawberry shortcake encased in pure white chocolate and adorned with a delicate shimmer of gold leaf.
With its exquisite balance of sponge cake and cream, this rich shortcake offers a luxurious taste with every bite, making it perfect for Christmas.

1. Commitment to blending ingredients and fresh cream
For the main ingredient, we use strawberries from Nagasaki Prefecture, known for their excellent balance of sweetness and refreshing acidity. The juicy sweet and sour taste of the fruit complements the rich sweetness of the white chocolate coating, resulting in a luxurious yet elegant flavor. Furthermore, we use fresh cream from Kyushu for the base, blending two types with different milk fat content and richness in a unique ratio. This creates a rich, creamy texture while leaving a clean, refreshing aftertaste.

2. Calculated Structure and Tree Moose
With its carefully calculated layer structure, tree-shaped pistachio mousse, and meticulously calculated ratio of cream to sponge cake, you can enjoy beautiful layers and a perfect balance of flavors no matter where you slice it. The topping features pistachio mousse shaped like a Christmas tree. Inside the mousse is a lemon mousse with a refreshing aroma and light acidity. The pleasant texture of the white chocolate coating and the sweet and sour taste of fresh strawberries further enhance the overall flavor.
