For several years, McDonald's Japan has offered seasonal triangle-shaped pies (sankaku pai) in different flavors such as Chocolate and Hokkaido Milk, but this time they’ve cooked up a sweet fruit-flavored snack. Their new creation uses the white peaches highly coveted in Japan.

The “Triangle Peach Cream Pie” is filled with a light pink cream made entirely with the Hakuho variety peach grown in Wakayama Prefecture in the Kansai Region of Japan’s main island. Hakuho is one of the most popular peach varieties in Japan, and Wakayama Prefecture is also a well-known peach producing area, so it certainly sounds like they’ve chosen the main pie ingredient well.

The Triangle Peach Cream Pie is priced at 120 yen (US$1.17) and will be available at McDonald’s stores across Japan until early October.
