Dive into Maison Cacao's Autumn Collection: OCEAN

On September 1, 2025, Maison Cacao, the renowned chocolate brand originating from Kamakura, unveils its latest seasonal collection, aptly named the OCEAN COLLECTION. Running until November 14, this limited-time offering embodies a spirit of adventure and exploration, promising to take chocolate lovers on a sensory voyage unlike any other.

The Theme of OCEAN

The overarching theme of this collection, OCEAN, speaks to the idea of navigating life on one's own terms. As we look out across the vast horizon, a solitary yacht can be seen, deftly adjusting its sails to the whims of the wind and the waves. It communicates the essence of patience, timing, and the excitement of taking control as the scenery unfolds from the mist.

The OCEAN COLLECTION encapsulates a positive message: “your own life path is yours to steer.” Rather than merely planning life, it urges us to embrace it as a journey. Every choice regarding direction, pace, and timing is a decision we make for ourselves. This profound sense of freedom and courage has been beautifully translated into the chocolates of this collection. It is tailored for those ready to embark on new challenges, adventures, and milestones—crafting hope and inspiration for anyone determined to carve out their future.

Highlighted Products

The OCEAN COLLECTION features two main types of chocolates inspired by the sea and sailing, each crafted with care to reflect these themes.

1. Aroma Chocolate SAILING (Price: ¥3,240)
Experience the vibrant flavors of cacao, layered with subtle bitterness and hints reminiscent of tropical fruits. This single-origin milk chocolate, infused with a dash of jasmine, enhances its gentle sweetness. As it melts, let the soft fragrances of cacao and jasmine envelop your senses.

2. Aroma Chocolate OCEAN (Price: ¥3,240)
Crafted from carefully cultivated, fermented, and roasted cacao beans from Colombia, this blend of bitter and milk chocolate offers notes of caramel and nuts. Enhanced by the juice and wine made from black Campbell Early grapes, it’s a delightful combination that brims with tart sweetness and refreshing berry flavors.

3. Aroma Chocolate JOURNEY (Price: ¥3,024)
This unique chocolate encapsulates the fresh essence of the cocoa harvested in Colombia, processed on-site to lock in its authentic flavors. The JOURNEY chocolate symbolizes the initial steps of a flavorful expedition.

In addition, the OCEAN COLLECTION offers a variety of seasonal chocolates enriched with messages that echo the journey theme, promising delightful experiences tailored to each occasion and store.
