BISTRO CHURA, a natural wine and Okinawan cuisine restaurant located in Shinjuku Sanchome, is introducing two limited-time raw chocolate tarts perfect for Valentine's and White Day celebrations. Available from February 2 to March 14, 2026, these desserts feature freeze-dried Okinawan fruits and are designed to complement natural wine pairings.
Limited-Time Menu Details
Shikuwasa-Scented Strawberry Raw Chocolate Tart with Okinawan Freeze-Dried Fruits - ¥1,290 (tax included)
This sophisticated raw chocolate tart combines the subtle sweetness of chocolate with the delicate acidity of shikuwasa (Okinawan citrus). The smooth chocolate cream harmonizes perfectly with the texture and tartness of freeze-dried fruits, creating an adult-oriented dessert experience.
Berry and Rich Cream White Chocolate Tart with Okinawan Freeze-Dried Fruits - ¥1,290 (tax included)
This light white chocolate tart features the refreshing acidity of berries. With its restrained sweetness, it pairs exceptionally well with mild natural wines, making it an excellent choice for those seeking balanced flavors.
Supporting Okinawan Farmers with Honey Fusion's Freeze-Dried Fruits
Both limited-edition raw chocolate tarts are topped with freeze-dried Okinawan fruits sourced from Honey Fusion (represented by Naoko McBride). The company specializes in body-friendly products, including their signature "Manuka Fruit Honey" that combines New Zealand manuka honey with Okinawan fruits.
The freeze-dried fruits embody the philosophy of "supporting Okinawan farmers" by transforming produce that would otherwise be discarded due to blemishes or sizing issues into valuable products. This initiative contributes to local consumption and sustainable development goals (SDGs).
This approach aligns with AN Corporation's core value of "connecting through stories and backgrounds," which is why BISTRO CHURA stocks Honey Fusion products in their retail corner.
Experience this special dessert featuring the natural bounty and producer dedication from Okinawa.
