We find out why Japanese social media has gone crazy for this cake.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Starbucks might be famous for its Frappuccinos, but fans of the chain will tell you its cakes are where it\u2019s at<\/strong>. That\u2019s what\u2019s happening right now on Japanese social media, where sweet tooths are raving about the chain\u2019s chocolate terrine<\/strong>. At 540 yen (US$3.40) apiece, this is no cheap slice, but fans say it\u2019s worth the investment, and the calories, so we picked one up to find out if it was worth the hype.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We were immediately captivated by the cake\u2019s decadent appearance, and impressed by how well the thick cream topping sat perfectly atop the slice, even after the 10-minute journey home.<\/p>\n

Taking a bite, our fascination deepened, much like the intense chocolate flavour that washed over the palate upon first contact. It was incredibly rich and smooth, melting on the tongue with a deep, lingering taste, and although it wasn\u2019t too sweet it imparted a satisfying feeling of having eaten something sweet, which was a very fine feat.<\/p>\n

The mellow aroma of cocoa was deeply present in every mouthful, and we were amazed at how\u00a0rich and decadent it was without being cloying. Perhaps because of the light aftertaste, it felt substantial yet not too heavy, making it ideal for summer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to the rave reviews, what makes the Starbucks chocolate terrine so popular is the way it has a light, melt-in-your-mouth texture that\u2019s pleasant to enjoy, even in summer, and after trying it, we finally understood what that meant.<\/p>\n

\u25bc In this case, the rave reviews are warranted.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even when we were buying our terrine at Starbucks, we saw a number of other people ordering it as well, so word of its deliciousness is spreading rapidly around Japan.<\/p>\n

For a cake that\u2019s gone viral on social media, the chocolate terrine really is worthy of all the praise and attention, so keep an eye out for it next time you\u2019re at Starbucks. It\u2019ll make the perfect partner for this year\u2019s chunky and milky strawberry Frappuccino<\/a>.<\/p>\n
