"Mitsukoshi Isetan Radio Chocolat," a podcast to be delivered in this sweet season, will be available for a limited time from January 20th. With the rapid increase in companies adopting teleworking and increased time spent at home due to stay-at-home orders, this is a new form of communication through rapidly growing audio media that allows you to listen without being distracted and while doing other things. We hope to provide an opportunity for not only chocolate lovers but also those who want to enjoy chocolate in a new way. The show will be hosted by popular voice actor Nishiyama Kotaro, and will cover the appeal of events such as the "Salon du Chocolat" and "Sweets Collection" held at Isetan Shinjuku, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, and Ginza Mitsukoshi over the Valentine's season, as well as information on chocolate trends and new releases, and talks with notable chocolatiers and buyers as guests. There will also be a gift campaign for listeners. "Mitsukoshi Isetan Radio Chocolat" will be streamed for a limited time, with a total of 8 episodes. Why not take this opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of chocolate?
