The commercial complex "Ikspiari" in Tokyo Disney Resort (TDR) will be renewed from March to April, and a total of 18 stores will open, including relocation and renovation.

Notable shops are the chocolate shop "MAX BRENNER CHOCOLATE BAR" from Israel and the pie specialty shop " Pie face " that just landed in Japan last year. Both will be the largest stores in Japan.

Max Brenner is gaining popularity around the world, including New York in the United States. The signature menu is "Chocolate Chunk Pizza," which is baked with chocolate and marshmallows on top of the pizza dough. In addition, menus using chocolate such as fondue and waffles are being developed.

At the Ikspiari store, "savory menus" (meal menus) such as sandwiches and pasta have been introduced in earnest, and it is said that you can enjoy not only sweets but also meals.

On the other hand, Pie Face is a pie specialty store from Australia that focuses on meat pies and coffee. It landed in Japan in October 2015 and has opened stores in Kawasaki and Shibuya. The feature is that a pretty face is drawn on the surface of the pie.

There are various flavors of pies on sale, including meat pies with lots of ingredients, "savory pies" and sweet dessert pies. You can also enjoy original coffee imported directly from Australia.

Both are scheduled to open in late April.
