Tops chocolate noir

A series that introduces the "secret masterpiece" behind the specialty. 40 items are "Chocolat Noir" from the cake shop Top's.

Cake shop tops with stores in department stores nationwide. Originally opened in 1964 in Akasaka, Tokyo as an American-style restaurant. The popular chocolate cake, which is now synonymous with the restaurant, was born as a dessert at this restaurant.

The chocolate noir introduced this time is an autumn / winter limited item sold at some tops stores. A chocolate cake made by coating chestnut-filled chocolate dough with ganache chocolate. The price is 1000 yen for the mini size (for 3 to 4 people) and 1,960 yen for the regular size (both tax excluded).

This time I bought a mini size (92 x 50 x 40 mm). The top of the cube is decorated with ganache chocolate lines and gold leaf.

The ganache chocolate on the surface is melty and smooth. Quickly melts in your mouth and spreads a rich taste with bitter in your mouth.

The chocolate dough on the inside has a moist mouthfeel, and the chocolate taste and sweetness are sufficient. The chewy taste of chestnuts that I occasionally meet is an accent.

A rich and responsive cake that chocolate lovers want to eat. The simple yet beautiful looks with gold leaf are perfect for adult Christmas cakes.

The sales period varies slightly depending on the year, but it is usually from the beginning of November to the end of January. The number of each store is limited, and depending on the store, delivery may be in the afternoon, so if you want to make sure you get it, we recommend a reserve phone.
