Discover the Five Sensations of 'Gokan Chocolate' at Mizumu Tokyo
Mizumu Tokyo, part of the Autograph Collection, is set to elevate the chocolate experience with the launch of its exclusive 'Gokan Chocolate'. This unique offering will be available starting February 9, 2026, as a response to guest interest in a product that encapsulates all five senses: sight, taste, touch, smell, and sound.
The modern luxury hotel, located in the vibrant area of Minato, Tokyo, has previously shared these chocolates as welcome amenities for select guests. Now, they’re ready to share this innovative treat more widely. Each of the five pieces has been meticulously crafted to provide a sensory experience, with elements that appeal to different aspects of perception.
A Masterpiece by Daisuke Yamauchi
The 'Gokan Chocolate' has been developed under the expert guidance of renowned chocolatier Daisuke Yamauchi, who honed his skills at the globally acclaimed French chocolatier Patrick Roger. After a decade perfecting his craft, Yamauchi now operates his own brand, LoDYc chocolate. His involvement began when he stayed at Mizumu Tokyo and shared his thoughts on the hotel’s chocolate offerings, sparking a desire for a more remarkable experience through this sweet endeavor.
The chocolates are crafted with a delicate coating, requiring high precision to achieve their glossy finish and uniform shape. This commitment to artistry ensures that each bite unfolds a unique blend of flavors and sensations. Infused with sophisticated ganache, the chocolates maintain a balanced aftertaste that tantalizes the palate.
A Chocolate for Every Sense
