Delicate Shells Capturing Japanese Essence - Yuzu and Black Sesame
KOKA - Yuzu & Goma is a creation that fuses the deep flavors of traditional Japanese ingredients with Western-style chocolate. Experience the elegant harmony of aroma and carefully balanced textures with each bite.
● KOKA - Yuzu Three citrus fruits—yuzu, orange, and lime—are simmered with their peels to create a paste that concentrates the bitterness, acidity, and refreshing aroma of the fruits. This filling is enveloped in rich white chocolate with a smooth milky flavor. The result is an elegant taste where the vibrant citrus fragrance blends with the gentle sweetness of white chocolate.
● KOKA - Goma (Black Sesame) Caramelized black sesame and almonds create a praline filling with a crunchy texture and deep richness. The shell is made from CALLEBAUT Belgium 58% cacao dark chocolate. The result is a sophisticated, adult flavor combining bitter cacao notes with the intense aroma of black sesame.
These refined bonbon chocolats feature the aromatic "yuzu" and "black sesame" that evoke Japanese tradition. Perfect as a gift for someone special or as a luxurious treat for yourself.
