We will be specially reprinting the refreshing seasonal sweets to enjoy the start of summer, which were delivered exclusively to the subscription service “CHOCOLATE ADDICT CLUB” last year and received many requests to eat them again.
Chiboust, a Western confectionery that originated in France, is made by layering fruit, crème chiboust, and caramelized pie dough on top of pie dough, and uses chocolate and lemon for a refreshing finish. A 5-layer design with a fun texture that combines refreshing lemon and chocolate satisfaction.
The summery and refreshing lemon is made with not only fruit juice but also the peel of the lemon castor layer in the center for a light and light finish. Combined with nutty chocolate, we created a chiboust that is both refreshing and satisfying.
・Pursuing the balance of five layers of taste and texture
You can enjoy the harmony of the five layers of flavor and texture, including the fragrant caramelized surface and fluffy chiboust, the light lemon caster and moist ganache, and the crispy pie crust. In order to find the optimal overall balance for each part and get it close to the ideal texture, we made many adjustments to the water content, egg amount, etc.
・Nut-flavored chocolate that goes well with the aroma of caramelization In order to balance the refreshingness of lemon with the satisfaction of chocolate, chocolate with a nutty flavor derived from cacao is used for the chiboust cream on the top and the ganache on the bottom. The rich, nutty flavor complements the bitterness of the caramelized top, giving you a satisfying overall experience.

A team of pastry chefs, chocolatiers, and craftsmen who have honed their skills at star-rated restaurants and top patisseries in Japan and abroad, working together as a team, sincerely adhering to the idea of “carefully and simply, using the best ingredients to bring out the best aromas.” Make Minimal chocolates and sweets with your work.
We conduct research and lectures on the fermentation and drying process for cacao, the raw material, and work with cacao farmers to develop flavors that are high in quality and at a high unit price. Aiming for the sustainable economic independence of the cacao industry, which has remnants of plantations, we provide technical support and fair and ethical transactions. In 2019, we conducted a cacao survey in Nicaragua as part of JICA’s ODA feasibility study project.
We have won 89 awards at international competitions for 8 consecutive years due to our unique manufacturing method and philosophy of “subtraction” that makes the best use of materials. We would like to deliver “chocolate that will leave a lasting impression on your heart” that will add color to your life and make you want to eat it again, while staying true to the basics and using free ideas that are not bound by tradition or methods.
