"Meiji The Chocolate" is popular for its stylish packaging and deliciousness like a specialty store. "Meiji The Chocolate 6 Collections" containing the 6 flavors is on sale. Purchased at 7-ELEVEN, the price is 198 yen (tax included).

The package has an artistic design in which the colors and patterns of each flavor overlap. When you open it like a book, 6 kinds of chocolates appear. Each feature is written on the inside.



・ Powerful depth comfort bitter
Mainly used for cacao from Venezuela. The nutty aroma spreads, followed by a bitter umami. It has a deep taste that feels rich in the bitterness.


・ Dense depth and umami Velvet milk
Mainly used for Venezuelan cacao. Although it has a fragrance like comfort bitter, this has an impression that the mellowness of the milk stands out. Even after eating, the tongue still has a deep richness.


・ Elegant bitter with gorgeous fruit
Mainly used for cacao from Tomé-Açu, Brazil and Dominican Republic. The most fruity of the 6 types. It is filled with the mild acidity of cacao. The aftertaste is also refreshing.


・ Sunny milk with a gentle scent
Mainly used for cacao from Tomé-Açu, Brazil and the Dominican Republic. Like velvet milk, it has a mild sweetness and a slight acidity. Very elegant finish.


・ Lightly aged vivid milk
Mainly used for cacao from the Dominican Republic. The good balance of sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and milkiness is perfect. Each one insists on each other and colors the mouth vividly.


・ Brilliant milk with a lovely scent
Mainly used for cacao from Peru. The floral scent will fluffy through your nose. Lighter than vivid milk, while retaining its richness. It has a rich taste that makes you feel both delicacy and strength.


It is interesting that the flavor characteristics become clearer by tasting each one in turn! I was reminded of the profound charm of chocolate.
