New Black and White Gateau Chocolat with Burdock and Yuzu to Launch at Matsurube Onsen Kamikura

Matsurube Onsen Kamikura (operated by Near Corporation) in Ichinoseki City, Iwate Prefecture is developing a pair of unique gateau chocolat desserts designed around the concept of "savoring the aftertaste."

The inn is currently preparing to launch two varieties: a black gateau chocolat featuring burdock and a white gateau chocolat with yuzu.

Two types of gateau chocolat - black and white

Product Details

Black Gateau Chocolat

The black gateau chocolat combines the subtle bitterness and depth of burdock with rich bitter chocolate. It offers a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture with a quietly profound flavor.

White Gateau Chocolat

The white gateau chocolat features the gentle fragrance of yuzu layered with the mild acidity of strained yogurt in white chocolate. It's characterized by a clean aftertaste that doesn't leave heaviness.

Development Concept

At Matsurube Onsen Kamikura, the "aftertaste" that extends from the guest experience is highly valued.

Just like the hot springs and cuisine, the inn wanted to deliver "memorable tranquility" through dessert as well.

From this desire, two contrasting gateau chocolat varieties were born - one black, one white.

About Sales

Preparations are currently underway for the launch. Details about the sales period, pricing, and sales method (in-house/online) will be announced once finalized.
