Review: Cheeza 77%<\/strong>
\n Best Before: March 2013<\/strong>
\n Review: October 2013<\/strong>
\n Website:\u00a0http:\/\/www.glico.co.jp\/cheeza\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, we\u2019ve dipped back into snacks that\u2019ve gone past their best-before date again, but considering it\u2019s an iteration of Cheeza that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I haven\u2019t covered on this site<\/li>\n
  2. Is no longer available in Japan
    \nand<\/li>\n
  3. Did I mention it was Cheeza?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I decided to just give it a go anyway. Just in case it\u2019s gone off, I\u2019ve got my limited edition STRONG Cherry Chu-Hai to wash it all down \/ kill the \u2018active ingredients\u2019.<\/p>\n

    To be honest, I\u2019m actually a little shocked at how quickly Glico churns through Cheeza flavours. On my last trip, Cheeza Basil Camembert was no longer available, nor was the tomato variety, and there were only 4 months between that trip and the one before it! I guess if you wanna be a true Cheeza connoisseur, you gotta get on those flavours quick!<\/p>\n

    Packaging:<\/strong> I\u2019ve been practicing my Japanese but I still don\u2019t have much (any) Kanji, so while I could suss-out the flavour as Camembert (apparently their go-to cheese!) I needed to do a little googling to figure out what else was going on. Apparently that big 1.5 on the bag refers to the increase of \u201ccheesiness\u201d by a multiplication factor of 1.5, generating a powerfully delicious taste! One of those times that I wish I read Japanese, because if I read anything resembling \u201cA Powerfully Delicious Taste!\u201d on any bag of anything, I\u2019d be prrrrretty likely to buy it. Oh, and that Googling also revealed that there were officially a \u2018limited edition\u2019 item, that stopped being sold in\u2026 spring 2012. So, 1.5 year old snacks here, folks!<\/p>\n

    Oh, and as always, the image, resealable bag, and dual-purpose design that allows the bag to stand up OR hang from a hook is genius. I wish other cracker companies in Japan were taking notes.<\/p>\n

    Scent and Taste:<\/strong> Opening the bag was like being punched in the face with rich, buttery cheesiness.<\/p>\n

    As for the taste, wow! Even a few months past their prime these crackers are FANTASTIC. You can really taste the cheese, and it really is markedly stronger and \u2018cheesier\u2019 than the standard camembert Cheeza. There\u2019s also a buttery texture on the tongue, even though the crackers themselves snap and crunch wonderfully. It\u2019s almost too much\u2026 It\u2019s like eating a bag of parmesan crisps, where you just melt parmesan cheese on a griddle and then let it cool. I mean, that\u2019s delicious as a garnish, but a whole bag of that?<\/p>\n

    Hypocritically, I am still eating them now, even as I talk about the possibility of them being \u2018too much.\u2019<\/p>\n

    Verdict: <\/b>These are incredible, but they might have been the first Cheeza that I actually used the resealable package for, to save them for later. Of course, I didn\u2019t, but I did share them with my better half who described it as \u201ceating delicious butter,\u201d so at least I didn\u2019t polish off the whole bag. I think it\u2019s a shame that these aren\u2019t still available, they\u2019re the strongest and most enticing cheese cracker I\u2019ve ever had. Who knows, maybe Glico will cycle them back into production soon\u2026?<\/p>\n

    (As for how they interacted with the STRONG CHERRY CHU-HAI, well, you\u2019re going to have to check out the next review!)<\/p>\n
