Product Details
夕張メロン※のみずみずしい果実感とガーナミルクの濃厚な味わいが広がる、上質なひと粒ショコラ。
Google Trans: A high-quality single-grain chocolate that spreads the fresh fruitiness of Yubari melon* and the rich taste of Ghanaian milk.

Taste
This Premium Ghana Melon Chocolate didn’t taste as good as I imagined it would unfortunately. The taste was good and I enjoyed it but it wasn’t quite what I wanted it to be.
The chocolate tasted like regular milk chocolate. The melon cream tasted like cantaloupe melon but with a zesty flavor like orange juice.
I think I would have preferred a white chocolate over milk chocolate. Perhaps even a white chocolate with a hint of cantaloupe or mint would have gone well with the melon cream. I thought the milk chocolate was slightly stronger in flavor and overshadowed the melon flavor.
Cost
This cost me $298YEN ($2.24USD).

Would I buy Premium Ghana Chocolate Yubari Melon again?
Answer: No.
Worth Trying?: Maybe.
If you like cantaloupe melon, I think you will enjoy these chocolates. While I won’t be buying them again, I enjoyed the Premium Ghana Chocolate Yubari Melon (フルーツショコラ夕張メロン) and definitely recommend them.
