Chocolatier Palette d'Or's New Cat-Themed Offerings
In a delightful fusion of creativity and culinary excellence, Chocolatier Palette d'Or, a renowned chocolatier based in Osaka, has announced the launch of an exclusive range of cat-themed chocolates and merchandise. Scheduled for release on February 22, 2026, to coincide with Cat Day, these offerings are designed to charm cat lovers and chocolate enthusiasts alike.
Introducing the Cat Chocolatier
The star of this collection is a new character known as the Cat Chocolatier named
Pale. This adorable feline is depicted meticulously crafting chocolates, from selecting premium cacao beans to perfectly blending flavors. The emphasis on detail ensures that
Pale is not only a playful character but also a representation of the artistry involved in chocolate making.
The chocolates themselves feature a variety of flavors designed to tantalize the taste buds. Innovative combinations such as honey milk & lemon and biscuit & praline showcase the brand's commitment to unique taste experiences. Each box contains a thoughtful selection of five pieces, elegantly presented to appeal to both aesthetics and flavor.
Collaborating with Notable Designers
This new addition to the chocolaterie's character lineup comes from the talented hands of Shirou Nakano, the designer behind popular characters, including the beloved
Hiyoko-chan from Nissin's Chicken Ramen brand. Nakano's move to the picturesque town of Kiyosato in Yamanashi Prefecture led to a collaborative relationship with Chef Shunsuke Saigusa, further blending culinary art with design creativity.
Perfect Gifts for Cat Lovers
The introduction of the Cat Chocolatier character is not just about chocolate; it also extends to a line of original merchandise. Alongside the chocolate box, customers can look forward to tote bags and mugs that cater to everyday chocolate enjoyment. The mugs feature illustrations of both
Pale and
Doll, making them perfect for those cozy moments enjoying a hot beverage.
The tote bags come in two sizes: one large enough to carry A4 files and another designed to fit the chocolate box. This variation allows customers to select the perfect item, whether as a gift or for personal use. These items are ideal for White Day gifts or simply to pamper oneself.
