Never ever order this if they are on sale. I ordered 6 of them n got them yesterday Aug/4 but in 4 days that will be expired/ overdue. I read it is short lifetime but you don’t expect that will be in 4days. Do not order this on sale n don’t ever use woo japan from weee
Honestly I love these; I had them 15 years ago or longer when a friend brought them back from japan, and have always been obsessed. I've only had them one other time, and this was my third and they are always as good as i remember. they're so good and such a thick sweet treat to eat. don't eat in one bite and enjoy the mild cake taste.
