Enjoy the alluring ingredients of fruit and our specialty in tea
Aoki has set up a jam production atelier in Karuizawa, and is passionate about the charms of "fruit," and has introduced a number of new chocolates that incorporate the appeal of "tea," an ingredient that Aoki specializes in. The "AOKI 2023" chocolate assortment, released every year under the AOKI name, includes three new creations: "Myrtille Earl Grey," a two-layer chocolate made with blueberry pâté de fruits and Earl Grey ganache; "The Jasmin," with its elegant jasmine tea aroma; and "Miel Citron Confit," a combination of honey ganache and lemon confit.

For Valentine's Day 2023, in addition to the classic bonbon ganache, we're also looking forward to chocolates made with a variety of ingredients and sweets, including macarons, confiture, pâté de fruits, fruit peel, and almonds. The rich flavors and textures of fruit and tea will deliver new deliciousness.
