As a special edition of "Today's Item," a daily series showcasing recommended products from our editorial team, we're introducing "Tokyo souvenirs" selected by fashion and beauty industry insiders, running until July 31st. It's the season when many people bring gifts for seasonal greetings or when returning home. If you're having trouble deciding what to bring, check out this list of top picks from connoisseurs.
Today, we're introducing two summer-only chocolates from JOHN KANAYA, "Feel cool Summer 'Passion'" and "Cool meets Fresh 'Mojito'," recommended by Aya Ishikawa of Steady Study, an agency representing a wide range of brands both domestic and international.
JOHN KANAYA, located in Ebisu, Tokyo, is a chocolate shop that carries on the spirit of the legendary restaurant JOHN KANAYA Azabu, beloved by many celebrities.
The sun-dazzling canary yellow "Feel Cool Summer 'Passion'" is a satisfying chocolate treat made with hazelnuts wrapped in passion fruit chocolate. Its sweet and sour taste, packed with tropical aromas, will make you feel the arrival of summer.
The "Cool meets Fresh 'Mojito'" is a two-layered chocolate frais made with rum and lime chocolate "Cool" and mint chocolate "Fresh." With the refreshing mint, rum, and lime flavor, this chilled chocolate experience faithfully recreates the refreshing taste of the classic summer cocktail, the mojito.
"Both chocolates have a sophisticated flavor perfect for cocktail time on a summer evening. They're also recommended as gifts for older men who enjoy alcohol. It would be wonderful to enjoy a drink with them," says Ishikawa. These limited-edition chocolates will be available until around September and will end when they are sold out, so be sure to get yours early.
