This is a 7-Eleven PB and looks pretty good. One of the things that interests me is the subtle use of language which is possible in Japanese. There are different ways of writing so you can emphasize a simple world for chewy - mochimochi もちもち - just by changing the way the repeated part is written もちモチ.
