Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse, a chocolate shop based in Paris, France, has released five new summer desserts. They will be available at its Tokyo workshop and the dessert salon "Le Salon" on the second floor of its Roppongi store. They will be on sale from June 15th until mid-September.
kakigori Cafe & Chocolat (1,600 yen) *Roppongi only
A "shaved ice" menu, offering a refreshing taste of Japan, is now available at each store. Tokyo Kobo has introduced "kakigori Matcha & Chocolat" (1,700 yen), which combines chocolate with matcha. Underneath the top layer of matcha granita are layers of sorbet chocolate, lemon marmalade, sugar-glazed cocoa nibs, and matcha cream. In addition to the rich flavor of matcha, this item boasts a cool, creamy texture, the crunchy texture of the cocoa nibs, and the refreshing tartness of lemon. The Roppongi-exclusive "kakigori Cafe & Chocolat" (1,600 yen) is a perfect match with chocolate, as roasting is as essential as chocolate. Underneath the top layer of cafe granita are layers of sorbet chocolate, orange marmalade, sugar-glazed cocoa nibs, and cafe cream. The bitterness of the coffee, the refreshing sweetness of the chocolate, the crunchy texture of the cacao nibs, and the sweet and sour marmalade combine to create a unique shaved ice treat.
Coco & Chocolat Glacé au Citron Vert (1,900 yen) *Tokyo Kobo Exclusive
In addition, the Tokyo Kobo exclusive "Coco & Chocolat Glacé au Citron Vert" (1,900 yen) is a layered treat made with chocolate cream, crustian chocolate and coconut, coconut ice cream, and whipped coconut milk emulsion coco. The elegant aroma of chocolate, lime, and shaved coconut adds a finishing touch. Enjoy the smooth richness of the emulsion coco and chocolate cream, the crunchy texture of the crustian chocolate and coconut, and the refreshing ginger and lemongrass granita.
Coupe d'Agrume / Sorbet Chocolat (1,900 yen) *Roppongi only
The visually stunning "Coupe d'Agrume / Sorbet Chocolat" (1,900 yen), a Roppongi-exclusive menu item, is a refreshing dessert perfect for summer, made with generous amounts of citrus fruits and topped with red shiso. Each citrus fruit is finished in a different way, including orange marmalade, citrus jelly, sweet orange, grapefruit, and lemon confit, and dekopon and orange pulp. The bittersweet and sour citrus granita is a perfect match for the rich, melt-in-your-mouth flavor of the chocolate sorbet.
Souffle aux Pamplemousses & Pralines (1,600 yen)
The "Souffle aux Pamplemousses & Pralines," available at both our Tokyo and Roppongi locations, is a fluffy grapefruit souffle layered with crunchy hazelnut paste and grapefruit marmalade. The sweet and sour combination of grapefruit and fragrant hazelnut paste is exquisite. Enjoy it with grapefruit confit and praline ice cream for a completely different flavor experience.
On a hot summer day, why not soothe yourself with the refreshing sweetness of Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse?
