A series that introduces the "secret masterpiece" behind the specialty. Forty-nine items are Morinaga & Co.'s "Care de Chocolat".

Morinaga & Co., Ltd. is a confectionery maker established under the name of "Morinaga Shoten" in 1897. It has many long-selling brands such as "Morinaga Milk Caramel", "Chocolate Ball" and "Oops".


The Carre de Chocolat introduced this time is a bite-sized square chocolate bar. The name means "square chocolate" in French. It is "Morinaga Chocolate's confident work" made by sticking to the raw materials and manufacturing method.

First appearance in 2002. Currently, there are five types in the lineup: "French milk," "Venezuelan bitter," "white," "cacao 70," and "cacao 88." The price is around 300 yen each.


You can use the appearance of the package. When you open the box, the square chocolates wrapped in individual paper are lined up.




The royal road milk uses whole milk powder made only from French milk. You can enjoy a well-balanced taste of milk and chocolate with a smooth mouthfeel.

Bitter, which is popular with adults, enjoys bittersweetness and rich chocolate, as well as a gorgeous sweet scent made from Venezuelan cacao beans. The cacao content is 55%.

White with a sweet scent of vanilla from Madagascar. The luxurious milky feel and melting in the mouth are like vanilla soft serve ice cream. It is also a high point that it is not too sweet and the milky feeling is outstanding.


Cacao 70 with a rich yet clear taste. It melts slowly on the tongue and spreads the richness of mellow cacao. I like this the most, and I've eaten 100 boxes so far.

Cacao 88 aimed at "easiness to eat that does not seem to be high cacao". The sweetness is suppressed, but the taste is not too bitter and has a sharp finish. However, I think it's still bitter for beginners in high cacao, so it's safe to get used to it with cacao 70.


Carre de Chocolat has a high-quality taste and gives you a feeling of satisfaction even in a small amount. Recommended for coffee break companions, wine snacks, and desserts after meals.
