Matcha Green Tea Oreo

Taste Test:
Initial Smell: From the second you open the bag you are welcomed with a blast of matcha scent and then chocolate shortly after. If Yankee ever turned this into a candle I would be in trouble. I would either try to A) eat every thing in sight from the tasty smells or B) eat the candle (no shame. judge all you want).
Whole Cookie: You barely start chewing and are flooded with the matcha flavor. The flavor is almost a little too overpowering, but chocolate wafer comes to save the day. Everything mixes well together and makes for a pleasant cookie. I am glad that these are the small cookies...I really don't think I could handle a normal sized cookie (well, I would probably manage...life is tough). The matcha green tea flavor is super powerful and would probably knock me over.
Half Cookie: Remember what I said about the other chocolate wafer...and it basically being my knight in shining armor? Yeah, Prince Chocolate totally needs to partake in this party. I barely got the half with creme down and had to eat the wafer just to balance my mouth back out.
Creme Only: I've had some rank Oreo creme in my previous limited edition tests, so I was super leery to do this with how strong it seemed to be. After I spent what felt like five years (okay, it was probably five seconds...) getting all of the creme off both wafers, I closed my eyes and dove off the deep end with this test. There was nothing pleasant about this experience. I love me some matcha green tea, but this was like concentrated to a point that should be illegal. I ate both wafers shortly after and still had to have a swig of beer (Illusive Traveler Grapefruit, if you must know) to bring my tastebuds off the ceiling.
Overall: I do enjoy these cookies, but don't know that I could eat the entire package in one sitting (I know, that's actually ideal...). I stand firm that these are perfect as the smaller cookies and am not sure how I would feel about them being regular sized. If you're a matcha green tea fan...and are in Japan or have someone going soon, definitely worth getting your hands on and trying.
