Experience the Legendary 'Flame Chocolate' This Valentine's Season

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and the iconic brand Gin no Budo is once again set to delight chocolate lovers with their legendary 'Flame Chocolate' (ショコラ・ア・ラ・フラム). This exquisite treat will be available from January 15 to February 14, 2026, during the Valentine's Day season. With over 9 million units sold since its launch in 2001, this remarkable chocolate has continuously ranked first in popularity for 25 years, proving its timeless appeal.

A Unique Chocolate Experience

What makes 'Flame Chocolate' so special? It features a unique texture that melts beautifully on the tip of your spoon, delivering a chocolate experience unlike any other. Unlike traditional chocolate or cake, this creation combines the rich flavors of unique charcoal-roasted couverture chocolate known as Charcoal Chocolate with bittersweet chocolate and ganache, resulting in a deep, umami-rich flavor profile that chocolate aficionados will adore. The chocolate's intense cocoa essence retains its richness while simultaneously offering a delightful melting sensation in your mouth. You'll find yourself saying, 'Wow, it's gone in an instant!' as you savor this exceptional delicacy.

Exciting Flavor Combinations

In addition to the classic 'Flame Chocolate', this year introduces a cake version, known as 'Flame Chocolate Cake'. This delectable chocolate cake features a moist texture and a hidden layer of silky rich chocolate infused with Charcoal Chocolate. Accentuated with the earthy crunch of roasted almonds, this cake is bound to satisfy your sweet cravings and is perfect for sharing with loved ones.

The 'Flame Chocolate' will be available in a three-piece pack for a special price of 1,069 yen (tax included). The cake, on the other hand, will be available in a four-piece set for 1,188 yen (tax included).
