At Palet d'Or, we select the highest quality cocoa beans from cocoa farms around the world and handle every step of the process, from roasting to turning them into homemade chocolate. We're even committed to making our own white chocolate, and our "Distillery Chocolat" is crafted from cocoa butter extracted in our own workshop, resulting in a taste that can only be expressed with white chocolate.
We've been able to clearly bring out the citrus notes of Glenmorangie's original, the floral aromas from the casks, and even the lingering smoky finish of Ardbeg.
This collection allows you to savor the unique flavors of five whiskies, paired with the chocolate.
In addition to Father's Day, this also makes a great gift for whiskey lovers.

He studied under the late Toshikazu Yasui, a leading figure in the world of Western confectionery, at the prestigious Hotel Plaza in Osaka. In 1991 he went independent and opened his own patisserie. After meeting the late Maurice Bernachon, a master chocolatier from Lyon, France, and receiving training as a chocolatier, he opened the authentic chocolate specialty shop "Chocolatier Palet d'Or" in Osaka in 2004 and in Tokyo in 2007. He then launched "Artisan Palet d'Or Kiyosato" in 2014, a bean-to-bar workshop that handles the entire process from cocoa beans to chocolate. In 2019, he opened the world's first bean-to-bar white chocolate brand, "Chocolatier Palet d'Or Blanc." He handles over 10 tons of chocolate per year, and as a chocolatier, he consistently creates everything from cocoa beans to bonbons. His exquisite chocolates, crafted with a focus on the natural taste and aroma of cocoa, have garnered widespread attention both in Japan and overseas. They have been featured in numerous media outlets, including TV Tokyo's "Solomon Style" in 2010, TBS's "Birthday" in 2011, NHK's "Today's Cooking" in 2014, NHK's "Professional: Work Style" in 2018, and NHK BS Premium's "Sweets Magic" and "Tsubo of Beauty" in 2019. During the state of emergency declared due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, they also participated in the "Special Feature! Professional Home Cooking" hosted by the chefs who appeared on "Professional," proposing chocolate desserts for home cooking.
About Chocolatier Palet d'Or>
This chocolatier opened in HERBIS PLAZA ENT (Nishi-Umeda, Osaka) in 2004 and in Shin-Maru Building (Marunouchi, Tokyo) in 2007. They sell over 50 varieties of bonbons and chocolate gateaux. The salon offers a variety of ways to enjoy chocolate, including original drinks and parfaits made with cacao, a specially blended cafe to go with the chocolate, bean-to-cocoa made with homemade cocoa powder, and pairings of chocolate with champagne or whiskey.
A bean-to-bar workshop where the chocolatier personally creates chocolate from the cocoa bean stage, with an annual production capacity of 10 tons, is rare worldwide and the first of its kind in Japan. Surrounded by beautiful nature overlooking the Yatsugatake Mountains, the cool environment, similar to that of a European mountain resort, is ideal for storing cocoa and aging chocolate. With over 40 years of experience and a long history of working with many chocolates, this bean-to-bar workshop is unique to Chef Saegusa. We have received numerous awards at the International Chocolate Awards 2019 Asia and World Championships, as well as an award from the British Academy of Chocolate 2019.
About Chocolatier Palet d'Or Blanc
Even among bean-to-bar manufacturers that handle everything from cocoa beans to chocolate, it is rare to produce white chocolate by pressing cocoa butter in-house. This brand was born from Chef Saegusa's strong desire to express a new world of white chocolate created from homemade cocoa butter. This shop is the first of its kind in the world to offer a wide range of products, including white chocolate made with homemade cocoa butter, as well as baked goods, drinks, and soft-serve ice cream made from the homemade cocoa powder produced at the same time. The shop is equipped with a glass-walled workshop where customers can observe the manufacturing process from cocoa beans to chocolate, as well as the cocoa butter pressing process. Guests can enjoy one-of-a-kind products such as white chocolate from Minami-Aoyama, Minato Ward, as well as sweets and soft-serve ice cream made with white chocolate and drinks made with homemade cocoa powder.
