"Sweetness" Meets "Alcohol" for the Evening – Sophisticated Flavors That Accompany Quiet Moments
The "Adult Gateau Chocolat" was created for those who savor the quiet moments at the end of the day. Offered as a Valentine's Day gift for partners who enjoy alcohol, or as a nighttime indulgence for yourself after a hard day's work.
Ingredient Selection
Yakigashi Taka's gateau chocolat features carefully selected ingredients optimized for each flavor. The common ingredient across all varieties is "Calpis Butter." With its rich depth yet light aftertaste, this butter makes the sophisticated "adult taste" possible without being too heavy. Of course, no preservatives are used whatsoever. The pure flavors of the ingredients are delivered straight to you.
1. Chocolate – French Valrhona Chocolate
Uses chocolate from France's Valrhona, beloved by pastry chefs worldwide. Rich with cocoa aroma, it offers deep richness and complexity within its sweetness. A classic nighttime flavor that harmonizes beautifully with sake, red wine, or whiskey.
2. Matcha – Fukuoka Prefecture Yame Matcha × French Valrhona White Chocolate
Features the luxurious use of "Yame Matcha" from Fukuoka Prefecture. The powerful umami and elegant bitterness characteristic of Yame tea are combined with white chocolate.
Three Ways to Enjoy – Temperature Transforms the Experience, Plus Pairing Suggestions
Chilled (Raw Chocolate Style): Densely concentrated cacao flavor.
Room Temperature (Rich and Luxurious): Enhanced melt-in-your-mouth texture reveals more aroma.
Warmed (Fondant): The center melts into a luscious flow.
