Introducing Jiichiro's New Classic Gateau Chocolat and Limited Edition Treats

Explore Jiichiro's Classic Gateau Chocolat Launch

The beloved confectionery brand Jiichiro, based in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, is set to delight chocolate lovers with the unveiling of their new Classic Gateau Chocolat on January 16, 2026. This exquisite dessert captures the essence of traditional French baking, showcasing a rich chocolate flavor crafted from carefully selected, simple ingredients.

A Chocolate Lover's Dream

The Classic Gateau Chocolat is designed to provide an extraordinary taste experience. The cake boasts a perfectly balanced texture: a crispy, fragrant outer layer contrasts elegantly with a moist, melt-in-your-mouth interior. This cake is perfect for those who appreciate the depth of rich chocolate flavor.

Special Limited Editions to Celebrate the Launch

In conjunction with the launch of the Classic Gateau Chocolat, Jiichiro will also introduce exciting limited editions, including the incredibly large Classic Gateau Chocolat BIG and the enticing Chocolat Duo.

The Classic Gateau Chocolat BIG is made from the same ingredients as the original but is presented in a remarkable size, approximately 24 times larger than the standard version. Designed for sharing, this sumptuous treat retains the same richness and moistness, making it ideal for gatherings or special celebrations. The packaging is a playful adaptation of the usual design, enhancing its visual appeal.
