Isetan Shinjuku will once again host the "Salon du Chocolat: A Chocolate Festival from Paris" in the Main Building's 6th floor event hall in 2023.
Founded in Paris, France in 1995, Salon du Chocolat is one of the world's largest chocolate festivals, bringing together top chocolatiers and a variety of chocolate brands from around the world. It is held annually in Paris from late October to early November. At Isetan Mitsukoshi, the first event was held at Isetan Shinjuku in January 2003. It is now held annually at Isetan Mitsukoshi Group stores, including Shinjuku in Tokyo, and the next event in January 2023 will mark the 21st anniversary.
FASHION HEADLINE will be introducing the hottest products this time in three parts. This second part is the "dine-in edition."
