A Winter-Only Sweet With Deep Cacao Flavor
The moist, soft base blends two kinds of chocolate. One is Ghana-origin chocolate with 66% cacao, which is bitter but has little harshness. The other is Venezuela-origin cacao mass, which has a toasty, deep bitterness. Together they create a rich yet gently bitter flavor with depth.
The top is layered with a cacao-scented glaze and finished with cacao nibs, which add a crisp texture and a rich, toasty aroma. With each bite, the cacao's rich fragrance and pleasant aftertaste spread.
Behind the Development of Kakaosshu
Kakaosshu was born from the developer's wish to add color to customers' trips and daily memories through encounters with special sweets that can be enjoyed only in a particular season.
It was made to bring out a wintery feel and a special presence, with attention to the finishing details as well as the flavor. Rather than simply covering it with glaze, the developer topped it with cacao nibs as an accent of texture and aroma, expressing a rich flavor and depth that suit a winter moment.
Frozen Delivery Across Japan
Kakaosshu can be shipped frozen, so it can be delivered to every part of Japan with its flavor sealed in. It suits customers who live far from Otaru and cannot visit the store, as well as those who want to enjoy a mail-order sweet at home. It also works as a winter greeting or a Valentine's Day gift for someone special.
Even from far away, a single bite brings the rich cacao aroma of LeTAO and a special winter moment.
Shipping Campaign Exclusive to the Otaru Main Store
Shipping fees are normally charged separately for each temperature zone, frozen or chilled. At Nouvelle Vague LeTAO Chocolatier Otaru Main Store only, a special shipping campaign is available. Regular frozen cakes can be shipped in one frozen parcel together with Shokorameru (ショコラメル) and Kadansu Kyarameru Shokora (カダンスキャラメルショコラ).
Now the winter-only new item Kakaosshu can also be included in the same frozen parcel. Customers can send their favorite frozen cakes and the limited chocolate sweet together at a good price, a service offered only at this store. It suits sending trip memories home, or sending winter gifts and Valentine's Day presents together to loved ones far away.
