Colombin “Kinshachi Chocolat”

The golden shachihoko that adorn the main keep of Nagoya Castle are widely known as a symbol of Nagoya. “Kinshachi Chocolat,” featuring the famous golden shachi on its package, is sold at KIOSK stores in the Nagoya area and is a popular souvenir.

Original sweet chocolate cream is sandwiched between thin, crisply baked cocoa langue de chat cookies. The light, crunchy texture of the cookies pairs perfectly with the slightly bittersweet flavor of the chocolate cream. Its rich double-chocolate taste is exceptionally well crafted, and in 2017 it won the Silver Award at the Monde Selection, which honors products of outstanding quality.

The gold-themed design of both the package and the individual wrappers is inspired by the real golden shachi, which are said to bring blessings such as good fortune, prosperity, and luck in relationships. That makes it a festive and well-received souvenir gift. “Nagoya Kinshachi Baked Chocolate,” also featuring golden shachihoko on the package and sold exclusively in the Tokai region, has also been well received.
