Not to add to anyone¡¯s to-do list, but Valentine¡¯s Day is only a couple weeks away.
It¡¯s time to start thinking about gifts, and one of the most venerable chocolates in Japan has a solution for those of you who are still trying to come up with a sweet (pun intended) present.
People all over the world have celebrated the sheer variety of Nestle Japan¡¯s KitKats, and now it¡¯s rolled out a cacao fruit-flavored chocolate. This dessert (?432 after tax) offers a sweet and slightly zesty take on the familiar candy bar.
For a more enhanced experience, head to the KitKat Chocolatory in Ginza for the Cacao Fruit Dessert. This hefty creation (?3,000 before tax) is limited to 10 a day, and is only available from Jan. 23 through Feb. 14. The 20-centimeter-long chocolate shell shaped like a cacao pod is filled with fresh cream made with cacao fruit juice, fresh fruit and a chocolate-almond cake. Once you¡¯ve eaten the inside, a warm cacao fruit juice is used to melt the shell and make a rice chocolate ¡°sauce.¡± Excessive, sure, but memorable.
