A New Sensation: The September Release of Chocolat Coquille

Maison Cacao, the renowned chocolate brand originating from Kamakura and founded by Shingo Ishihara, has begun offering a limited edition flavor for September. The highlight of this month's selection is the 'Chocolat Coquille' featuring the rich and delightful taste of chestnut—a true autumn treat. The exquisite flavor is available for a limited time and in limited quantities, making it a must-try delight for chocolate aficionados.

Each box of ‘Chocolat Coquille Marron’ contains six pieces and is priced at 4,320 yen including tax. This beloved seasonal favorite offers a luxurious flavor profile where the rich essence of Japanese chestnuts harmonizes beautifully with a clean milk chocolate crafted from Colombia's single terroir. This pairing not only emphasizes the deep, rich sweetness unique to Shimanto chestnuts but also creates an unforgettable chocolate experience.

Featuring a distinctly refined structure, ‘Chocolat Coquille’ is a work of art in its own right. When you bite into the delicate shell, it crumbles perfectly, releasing a burst of velvety chocolate filling that promises both surprise and an aromatic delight. Each piece represents the epitome of craftsmanship, skillfully created under strict conditions by a selected team of artisans who are dedicated to their craft. This exquisite cherry on top of Maison Cacao's offerings continues to captivate many devoted fans.

Reservation for Limited Availability

In light of the delicate nature of the ingredients and the artisanal process, Maison Cacao has chosen to adopt a reservation system to ensure that more customers can enjoy this seasonal delicacy.
