The limited-time shop "DARS BRAND SHOP" where you can enjoy a little high-class "Morinaga DARS" will open at 12:12 pm (!) On December 12, which is "Darth Day". It will open in Hills Omotesando R Studio (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo). Limited time until March 15, 2015.


… Why is December 12th a dozen days? Of course there are 12 (, dozen) !

By the way, prior to the opening of the dozen brand shop, I checked the "limited dozen" sold at the shop as soon as possible!


◆ A different "luxury" dozen "special DARS"

"Special DARS" is a product in which 12 chocolates with a "special feeling" flavor are packed in a dozen-shaped box. Three happy moods A total of 12 flavors will be prepared under the themes of "exciting ENJOY," "crushing LOVE," and "relaxing RELAX." The price is 800 yen per box (12 tablets of the same flavor).


The flavors for each mood are as follows.

[Ukiuki ENJOY]
Graceful Morning (Fruit Granola)
Brand New Day (Mango)
Merry Strawberry (Strawberry & White)
Forever Friends (Pineapple)

[Pounding LOVE]
Marble Romance (Gianduja & White)
Smile & Tears (Orange Peel)
Fairy kiss (caramel sale)
Newborn Love (Grapefruit)

[Loose RELAX]
Premium Bitter (Premium Bitter)
Love Tea Love Me (Hojicha)
Dreamy Night (Blueberry & White)
Break-free (coffee)

Among them, the following three flavors are my favorite.

・ Brand New Day (Mango)


Darth chocolate with mango sauce containing 100% mango juice (Alfonso) equivalent to fresh juice. When you put it in your mouth, the taste of sweet chocolate and rich mango melts.

・ Marble Romance (Gianduja & White)


Melting sweet dors chocolate made by mixing Gianduja-flavored chocolate and white chocolate in a marble shape. It is said that it expresses "a state in which two people's feelings for each other are mixed". It's a romantic flavor, but it's good that it's sweet but not persistent! Both chocolate and love are persistent, aren't they?

・ Love Tea Love Me (Hojicha)


Darth chocolate with fragrant roasted green tea flavor. The moment you put it in your mouth, you will feel a full-fledged aroma like freshly brewed roasted green tea and a slight bitterness. It is also the flavor that the author of "Chocolate is Bitter" liked the most this time.

In addition, each flavor will be released in three parts. The release dates for each flavor are as follows. Some parts have been replaced, and around 6 types are always lined up at the store.
