Tokyo Chocolate's collaboration chocolates with the manga "NARUTO" (by Masashi Kishimoto, Shueisha), which are on display at the Salon du Chocolat, running until January 28th at the Isetan Shinjuku store, are creating a buzz.

This collaboration chocolate with the manga, which is known for its popularity overseas, including an anime broadcast in France, is inspired by Tokyo as seen from a global perspective. It attracted attention when it was unveiled at the Salon du Chocolat in Paris in 2013. The collaboration box, "NARUTO Shippuden Chocolat," uses yuzu for the main character Naruto, sesame for Sasuke, cherry blossom for Sakura, and matcha for Kakashi, representing each character. A box of eight pieces costs 1,570 yen.

Sales at the Isetan Shinjuku store have now sold out and are no longer available. The collaboration will be available at JR Kyoto Isetan (January 29th to February 14th), Nagoya Sakae Mitsukoshi (31st to February 4th), Iwataya Main Store, Marui Imai Sapporo Main Store (both February 1st to 13th), and Sendai Mitsukoshi (February 5th to 14th).

In 2010, Tokyo Chocolate was selected as one of the "20 Best Chocolate Shops in the World" by the Paris Salon du Chocolat. In 2011, they received four tablets from the C.C.C. for the third consecutive year. Based on the concept of expressing the "now" of Tokyo, they offer chocolates that combine tradition and innovation. In addition to the Naruto collaboration chocolate, this event will also feature a Premium Selection Box exhibited at the Paris Salon du Chocolat, as well as a live demonstration of a sweet mix of Japanese and Western flavors, such as ganache wrapped in a tea towel.
