Indulge in Luxury at TERROIR by Daichi Okuno

A new gem is set to emerge in the heart of Minamiazabu, as TERROIR by Daichi Okuno, a chocolatier designed for the indulgent adult, prepares to open its doors on November 1, 2025. With an emphasis on high-quality ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship, this chocolatier promises a unique experience that caters to refined palates.

A Concept of Adult Luxury

The guiding principle of TERROIR is "adult luxury," providing a space where sophisticated sweets take center stage. The shop's signature offerings include a range of chocolates and baked goods, but their standout product is undoubtedly the bonbons, crafted to amaze even the most ardent chocolate aficionados.

Since launching in 2023, the brand has quickly gained recognition through e-commerce platforms and pop-up events, collaborating with high-end jewelry brand Chaumet and making appearances at prestigious events such as the Next Generation and Salon Du Chocolat, as well as exhibiting at Matsuya Ginza's Valentine World.

A Chic and Elegant Space

Entering the store, customers will be enveloped in an atmosphere of sophistication, featuring a deep black theme that lends it a sleek and refined ambiance. The striking decor includes preserved flowers suspended from a ceiling soaring approximately four meters high, offering a sense of openness that enhances the overall experience. Additionally, every packaging element—from the boxes to the shopping bags—is uniformly black, reinforcing the brand's identity.

Irresistible Special Box of Bonbons

One of the highlights of TERROIR is its stunning special box containing 90 pieces of bonbons, priced at 38,000 yen (including tax). This eye-catching, custom-made gift box measures over 50cm (56cm x 23cm) and is perfect for any occasion, sure to be a hit with those who receive it. Each box comes with a specialized shopping bag, making it a fantastic gift option.

Notably, customers can also purchase individual chocolates to choose their preferred flavors. This flexibility makes it a wonderful choice for group gifts, celebrations, parties, weddings, and girls’ nights.

Fresh Baked Goodies

Another favorite among customers is the freshly baked financier chocolate raspberry, made from a recipe perfected by the renowned chocolatier Daichi Okuno, who has previously appeared on the popular show "Jounetsu Tairiku." This delightful treat includes a mini tablet from Colombia's Cocoa Hunters, contributing to its rich flavor profile.

Using a batter rich in almonds and butter, the financier offers a crispy exterior with a moist interior, complemented by raspberry jam and a hint of cinnamon. The shop recommends enjoying it chilled for a refreshing taste.

For those looking for something to enjoy daily, these freshly baked delights are available for purchase on-site.

Pricing for the financier chocolate raspberry is 450 yen (tax included).

Popular Cookies: Cacao Sablé

Among the baked goodies, the #1 repeat favorite is the Cacao Sablé. These cookies are generously coated with 70% cacao chocolate, offering a satisfying crunch that is not only delicious but also surprises with an innovative recipe. By using cacao pulp instead of eggs to bind the dough, and employing low-temperature roasting techniques, these cookies allow the natural cocoa fragrance and fruity acidity to shine through in a way that traditional sablés do not.

For those who cannot visit the shop, all chocolate and baked goods can also be ordered through the store's e-commerce site, ensuring that the luxurious tastes of TERROIR can be enjoyed by all, regardless of location.
