A Valentine-only version of the "beetle larva chocolate" sold by the Komatsuya main store in Akita Prefecture has been released this year as well. Reservations have started from January 10th. "Yokote Yakisoba Cake" has also been newly added to this year's Valentine's lineup.

This product is a chocolate that became a hot topic because it realistically reproduced the larvae of beetles. It is a whole body work handmade by the craftsman president. The larvae chocolates will be specially wrapped for Valentine's Day and will be sold in limited quantities.

There are three limited editions to be released this time: "2 animals set (440 yen)", "5 animals set (1,100 yen)" and "10 animals set (2,200 yen)". According to the seller's commentary, the two-piece set is for giri choco. It is explained as "the best line for giri choco". The set of 5 is for the favorite. The price is also reasonable. I'm not sure what the purpose of the 10-animal set was. It's just explained, "There are a lot. There are a lot of things. It's irresistible." Komatsuya main store, I'm skipping this year!


There are many sets of 10 ...

In addition, Komatsuya Main Store also offers "Stag Beetle Chocolate", "Adult Beetle Chocolate", and "Beetle Cake Lovely Pack", which is a combination of beetle cake and larva chocolate, as limited packages for Valentine's Day.

This is "adult chocolate of beetle". It seems that the flame was used to bring the finish to life in order to make the epidermis shiny.

The "Beetle Cake Lovely Pack" is a perfect package for Valentine's Day, where you can see the beetles and the red and white happy larvae snuggling up to each other. It's a product that says, "I'm sure you'll grab his heart!" Hmmm, is that so? Is it something like that?

Every man has once raised larvae of beetles as a child. It may be possible to give a larva chocolate as a Valentine's gift that appeals to men. But I think it may be none.

Komatsuya Main Store, a new "Yokote Yakisoba Cake" has been added this year. The B-1 Grand Prix winning B-class gourmet is reproduced as a cake. As a special Valentine's day, the yolk part was made into a heart. This is a pun that says, "I'll have the heart of the yolk (you)!" Hmm ...

Pun for Valentine's Day, is that strategy okay?
