There is something about coffee jelly that feels distinctly Japanese. Found in kissaten — the beloved old-school coffee shops that line the backstreets of Japanese cities — it is one of those quietly iconic desserts: strong brewed coffee set with agar into a firm, slightly wobbly jelly, served cold, often with a generous pour of cream. Simple, bitter, refreshing, and wholly satisfying. Tirol Choco has captured that experience in a single bite. First introduced in 2010 and returning as a seasonal favorite ever since, this coffee jelly variety encases a real coffee jelly center inside two layers of chocolate: a creamy, milky outer layer that melts gently on the tongue, and a bitter coffee chocolate layer beneath that echoes the deep, roasted flavor of the jelly within. When you bite through, the jelly yields with a soft, springy resistance — that characteristic puru puru texture, somewhere between jelly and gummy — releasing a concentrated burst of coffee flavor that lingers warmly after the chocolate has gone. The balance across the three components is what makes it work so well. The creamy milk chocolate keeps things approachable; the coffee chocolate deepens and darkens the flavor; and the jelly center adds a textural surprise and a sharp, genuine coffee note that cuts cleanly through the sweetness. It is a small candy that manages to feel genuinely layered and considered, a miniature version of a dessert with real heritage behind it. The individual wrappers feature a warm, retro illustration of coffee jelly in a glass — charming, nostalgic, and exactly the kind of detail that makes Tirol Choco such a consistently beloved part of Japanese snack culture. A seasonal release, available while stocks last. About this item Item Name : Coffee Jelly Brand : Tirol Choco Item Form : Semi-Chocolate Number of Items : 5 Counts (Pack of 1)
