Chocolate Paradise 2023: A Unique Valentine's Day Chocolate Tasting Experience
This Valentine's Day, the Seibu Ikebukuro main branch will hold a 2-week-long event, 'Chocolate Paradise 2023', featuring demonstrations, tastings, and of course, boxed chocolates, all centered on the event's theme of "tasting unique cacao".
This event has quite an extensive selection from nearly 105 brands, which is way more than we can possibly introduce here. So here are some highlights!
At the eat-in, treat yourself to an indulgently rich chocolate soft-serve or a cocoa parfait. You can also try Godiva's Cacao Fruit Juice, a sweet and tart drink made from squeezed cacao pulp.
Chocolate Boxes to Gift Your Friends, Family, or Yourself
Of course, there are also plenty of boxed chocolates you can buy as gifts for your partner, your friends, or even yourself.
For something sweet and sensual, consider one of the high-end options, such as Bulgari Il Chocolat San Valentino 2023 (5,201 yen / 4 pc), Ivan Valentin Truffles (6,954 yen / 12pc), or the Pascal Le Gack Bonbon Chocolat Assortment (2,808 yen / 6pc).
For something more lighthearted and playful, opt for one of the fun collaborations like Godiva's Atsumare Animal Crossing Assortment (3,240 yen / 9pc) or the Pokemon meets Merry Chocolate Assortment Box (2,160 yen / 12pc).
