Celebrating 10 Years of Elegance: Belamer Kyoto

Belamer Kyoto is thrilled to announce the 10th anniversary of its establishment, coinciding with the launch of exquisite new chocolates that pay homage to the seasonal beauty of Kyoto. The celebration will take place from September 6 to September 16, 2025, at pop-up stores located in Isetan Shinjuku and Hankyu Umeda.

Since its inception a decade ago in Sanjo, Belamer Kyoto has flourished thanks to the love and support of its customers, for which the brand expresses deep gratitude. This milestone is not only a celebration of its journey but also an opportunity to unveil new creations that blend the spirit of Kyoto with chocolate artistry.

The anniversary brings forth the introduction of “Toki no Shizuku”, a captivating chocolate box designed to encapsulate the essence of Kyoto's four seasons. Each piece within the beautifully crafted masu-shaped box is a work of art, featuring gelées made from carefully selected ingredients, harmoniously blending local flavors with the elegance and modern sensibility characteristic of Kyoto. The four seasonal flavors include:

• - Spring: A blend of white and ruby chocolate filled with strawberry purée from Kinoshita Farm and sakura-flavored gelée, encapsulating the soft fragrance and tart sweetness of spring.
• - Summer: A refreshing serve of white chocolate paired with gelée made from Kyoto honey and grapefruit, reminiscent of the clear blue skies of summer.
• - Autumn: Rich milk chocolate houses a fragrant gelée of carefully brewed hojicha, evoking the calming essence of autumn.
• - Winter: Dark chocolate features gelée made from fruits gathered in winter, delivering a refined aroma and crisp acidity that reflect the pure winter air.

This delightful box is priced at ¥1,944 (including tax). Belamer Kyoto invites you to rediscover the charm of Kyoto through the “Kyoto Chocolates,” which took nearly a year to develop. Focusing on local Kyoto ingredients, these chocolates present diverse flavors, textures, and colors that embody the rich heritage and seasonal beauty of the region.

Each chocolate piece masterfully captures the essence of familiar local ingredients like honey and premium matcha, showcasing their inherent flavors without pretense. Customers are invited to savor the culinary stories embedded in each piece.

In addition to the new offerings, Belamer has refreshed its “Irodori Chocolates,” which reflect the delicate artistry of traditional Kyoto sweets through design and composition. The beautifully refreshed line incorporates caramels and pralines to provide new textures that delight the palate.

Moreover, recently introduced baked goods, “Usagi Cake” and “Usagi Sablé,” draw inspiration from the enchanting stories of rabbits in Kyoto celebrating the moon. These charming treats evoke a sense of nostalgia and happiness with their gentle textures, perfect for tea time. The Usagi Sablé comes in two variations—chocolate and plain—to cater to diverse tastes.

To mark this special occasion, a series of exclusive pop-up stores will provide customers with a rare opportunity to enjoy these one-of-a-kind chocolates outside of Kyoto.
