Chocosil: A Chocolate Delight in Tokyo
On January 23, 2025, Tokyo Food Co., Ltd. opened the doors to its new chocolate shop and café, Chocosil, located in Tsukuba. Since its launch, the shop has captured the hearts of chocolate lovers, welcoming over 16,000 visitors within just two months. With a focus on creating delightful and curious chocolate experiences, Chocosil aims to engage customers through seasonal offerings and special events.
What is Chocosil?
Chocosil is a brainchild of Tokyo Food, a well-established manufacturer of chocolate products. The brand’s vision, encapsulated in its tagline "Curiosity Meets Deliciousness," seeks not only to satisfy the creators’ passion for chocolate but also to ignite customers' curiosity towards unknown chocolate experiences. Before opening the physical store, Chocosil developed a following by utilizing food trucks, participating in events, and launching an online shop, thus laying a solid foundation for its success.
A Successful Grand Opening
The buzz surrounding Chocosil's grand opening was palpable, as sunny weather drew long lines of eager customers waiting to step into the chocolate haven. The excitement didn't wane even after the initial rush. With Valentine's Day coinciding shortly after the opening, the café remained consistently busy, delighting patrons despite some products selling out due to high demand. As of the end of March, Chocosil had exceeded expectations, welcoming 16,000 visitors and continuing to attract a steady stream of chocolate aficionados.
Best Sellers: Chocolate Drinks and Bars
Chocosil has rapidly become known for its rich chocolate offerings, particularly the superbly crafted
Ice Chocolat and
Hot Chocolat. The
Ice Chocolat enjoys remarkable popularity, even in winter, as customers delight in both its taste and vibrant presentation, often sharing their experiences on social media. Another trending item is the
Chocolat-Terrine Bar, a more accessible version of the shop's signature
Chocolat Terine HASHIYA, which has captivated guests both in-store and online with its attractive pricing and exclusive availability.
Seasonal Specials and New Products
Chocosil continuously enhances its menu by introducing seasonal selections. In March, they unveiled the limited-time
Sakura Latte, skillfully combining the delicate cherry blossom flavor with smooth white chocolate. The upcoming
Matcha Chocolat, made with high-quality first-pick Nishio matcha, is set to debut in mid-April. With plans for more seasonal items and summer specials, customers are encouraged to visit and explore the menu.
Craft Your Own Chocolate at the Workshop
To mark a new chapter in Chocosil's journey, the shop is hosting its first event following the opening— a workshop on creating custom chocolate. Participants can choose their favorite chocolates and fillings to craft their personal
Knock on Chocolate, inspired by the superstition of “knocking on wood” for good luck. This personalized approach allows guests to create unique chocolate gifts for their loved ones, celebrating special moments with a personal touch.
