Like all great blockbuster films, the new ¡°Demon Slayer¡± movie arrived with tie-up food items, at least at Lawson, which is offering a wide range of limited-edition snacks tied to the record-breaking flick.
Per usual, some of them look better than they taste. Case in point are the Japanese-style sweets (each ?285 after tax) shaped like the faces of main characters Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko Kamado and filled with chocolate and strawberry, respectively. They¡¯re both cute, but lack any flavor other than ¡°sweet.¡± Same goes for the colorful caramel tarts (?249 after tax), featuring six different designs but the same so-so taste.
Go for one of the savory creations instead, despite the comparatively lackluster branding ¡ª nothing but a character sticker slapped on the packaging. The black fried rice (?550 after tax) and the jambalaya onigiri (?130 after tax) both pack a pleasant heat and will actually fill you up. These are the promotional snacks the world should remember when thinking of this now-famous film.
