Experience the Elegant Taste of Maison Cacao's Special Hinamatsuri Chocolates

Celebrating Hinamatsuri with Maison Cacao's Exquisite Chocolates

As the Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival) approaches, Maison Cacao, a renowned chocolaterie rooted in Kamakura, presents a delightful treat to honor this special occasion. Known for their commitment to quality and local ingredients, the shop offers a limited-edition aromatic chocolate set that is not just a sweet treat but a blend of tradition and innovative flavors.

A Special Blend for a Special Day

From February 25 to March 3, Maison Cacao introduces the Aroma Nama Chocolate BLOSSOM, specially crafted for the Hinamatsuri celebration. This 16-piece set is priced at 3,240 yen, and is designed with the well-being of girls in mind, reflecting wishes for their healthy growth. The profound flavors stem from the use of premium fruits — the Kawanakajima White Peach from Yamanashi and Sato Nishiki cherries from Yamagata. Each ingredient is handpicked and represents the love and care that goes into nurturing them.

The combination of velvety white chocolate with the sweet and rich flavors of these fruits creates a harmonious taste experience. The Sato Nishiki cherry, known for its gemstone-like brilliance, complements the luscious peach, which is notable for its thick, sweet flesh. Together, they embody the essence of spring and the joys of youth, making this chocolate a perfect gift for the festival.
