MAISON CACAO, the artisan chocolate brand originating from Kamakura, is releasing a limited White Day collection from March 1 to 14. This year's lineup includes four beloved favorites plus a brand-new flavor featuring earl grey tea as the star ingredient. The refined fragrance of premium tea, known for its ability to soothe the spirit and calm the mind, makes these chocolates an ideal gift to convey gratitude and thoughtfulness.
Alongside the popular white peach, amaou strawberry, raspberry, and vanilla flavors, this year introduces a new creation: Aroma Nama Chocolate White Peach Earl Grey. This limited edition combines the fresh juiciness of white peaches with the elegant aroma of black tea, creating a sophisticated and multi-layered flavor profile.
Aroma Nama Chocolate PASSAGE (White Peach Earl Grey), 16 pieces, ¥3,456 (tax included)
Selected from among the white peaches grown at Kasai Peach Orchard in Yamanashi Prefecture, this chocolate features varieties with exceptional juiciness and high sugar content.

The smooth melt and lingering aftertaste remain in your heart like a peaceful journey.
White Day is a gift-giving tradition unique to Japan. MAISON CACAO views it not simply as an obligation to reciprocate, but as a day to express gratitude and feelings in tangible form. The time spent selecting a gift with the recipient in mind is itself part of the value. Among these limited-edition special flavors, customers can find the perfect chocolate that resonates with their loved ones. The White Day limited collection will be available at all MAISON CACAO stores from March 1 to 14.
