December is a month filled with holiday home parties, seasonal greetings, and New Year's visits home, bringing with it a wealth of gifts. If you're thinking about what to bring, check out the FASHION HEADLINE editorial team's recommended gift list.

When you step indoors from the cold winter outdoors, you'll want to take a moment to relax. Why not bring a rich chocolate dessert that pairs well with alcoholic beverages like wine and whiskey, as well as coffee and tea?

Mont Saint Clair, run by chef Tsujiguchi Hironobu, is located about a 10-minute walk from Jiyugaoka Station. Mont Saint Clair's "Terrine Chocolat" (1,815 yen including tax) is a sweet made with rich chocolate ganache and steamed in a wooden box. This glossy brown terrine chocolat has a rich, gooey texture that's unlike gateau chocolat, ganache, or chocolate pudding. It has a rich flavor but is not too sweet. It's delicious whether served with fresh cream or smooth mascarpone cheese.

It comes in a compact wooden box, making it the perfect souvenir for those traveling by bullet train or plane! It also has a 10-day shelf life when refrigerated, which is great. Cutting a little each night and chatting with family you haven't seen in a while over a drink is a great way to spend the New Year holidays.
