Ginza Mitsukoshi Buyers' Recommended Sweets
MAISON CACAO: A Sweet You'll Want to Eat Again and Again
This year's theme for MAISON CACAO is "EMOTIONAL." Eight emotions, including love and respect, are expressed through each flavor, art packaging, poetry, and music. Express your feelings in words, such as "Sending all my love to someone I respect," and give them along with chocolate to a special someone.
An assortment of three types of rich raw chocolate tarts (milk, bitter, and white) boasting crisp, gooey, and crunchy textures. Each light, crispy, and fragrant tart is filled with fresh Colombian chocolate cream. By increasing the moisture content to the very limit of solidification, we have achieved a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture. You can enjoy the cocoa aroma and amazing freshly baked texture that each flavor exudes.
