The "Whole Melon" (18,000 yen) is made with a whole muskmelon, and is a simple yet high-quality shortcake with a light and gently sweet sponge and cream that brings out the mellow aroma and sweetness of the muskmelon. When cut, a beautiful cross-section of the fresh melon pulp, sponge, and whipped cream is revealed. The "stump" base is made of crunchy chocolate and hazelnut feuillantine coated in rich dark chocolate. This is the perfect item for a special occasion, using muskmelon, a classic gift. "Rouge Noel" (4,800 yen) Approximately 10cm tall x 17cm wide Another new product, "Rouge Noel" (4,800 yen), is a Christmas cake made with "ruby chocolate," which has been attracting attention as the "fourth chocolate."
