The 2017 Valentine's collection has been released by Chocolatier e Caramelier "Henri Le Roux".
This year's theme is "Voyage au Japon (Travel to Japan)". A "special box" containing a new bonbon chocolate that was inspired by Japanese materials has appeared.
There are two new bonbon chocolates, "Kyoto" where you can enjoy the harmony of roasted green tea and lemon, and "Yuzu cloak" which is a combination of yuzu and mint. There are three boxes that are packed with this and the classic bonbon chocolate.
The price is 1,600 yen for 4 pieces, 3,200 yen for 8 pieces, and 4,200 yen for 11 pieces (all excluding tax).
The package with a large ribbon attached to the crimson box has a design supervised by the long-established store "Chiso" of Kyoto Yuzen.
In addition, a limited edition box commemorating the 40th anniversary of Henri Leroux's founding and the 10th anniversary of landing in Japan will also be on sale from February 1st.
In addition to "Kyoto" and "Yuzu cloak", there are three new bonbon chocolates, "Yuzu Basilic", which is a combination of yuzu and basil. In addition to this, a box containing 6 pieces (2,900 yen) and a box containing 12 pieces (5,600 yen), which are packed with popular bonbon chocolates, will be prepared. (Tax not included, same below)
The package design is also a collaboration with Chiso. On the top surface, the classic pattern "Hanaguruma" is drawn with the flowers of the four seasons added to the "Mikaru" which has been a motif of Japanese travel since ancient times.
