All Reviews of Marushige "Kokyu Chocolate Kitashinchi"

A friend gave me chocolates from this brand before, and they made a strong impression from the first bite. On this trip to the Kansai region, I unexpectedly found a special matcha version at the airport duty-free shop and happily bought it right away. What I like most is that the sweetness is just right and not cloying at all. The outside is coated with rich, slightly bitter matcha powder, and when you bite into it, the aroma of the crunchy nuts spreads through your mouth. The layers of flavor make it hard to stop eating one after another. I was very lucky to find these at Kansai Airport this time. They’re definitely a souvenir I’d want to buy again.

I came across MARUSHIGE's “Kokyu Chocolate Kitashinchi” in Osaka. Even the name of this chocolate is distinctive, making it hard to resist buying some to try!

The chocolate has a delicate mouthfeel and a rich cocoa aroma, along with a smooth texture. It's sweet without being too rich, and it's easy to eat several pieces one after another.

The name “Breathing Chocolate” sounds impressive on its own. Each piece contains a crunchy almond, giving it a rich, layered texture. The chocolate itself has a silky texture similar to Royce nama chocolate, with a high fat content that melts in your mouth. The outside is coated with slightly bitter cocoa powder, perfectly balancing the overall sweetness. There are plenty of pieces in each bag, making it affordable and popular for sharing with coworkers at the office.
