Pre-orders for the chocolate gift “Chocolate Collection 2022”, which combines nine types of ingredients such as sesame, yuzu, cherry blossoms, and sansho, with “Uji Matcha” and “Uji Hojicha” from Kyoto / Uji Ito Kyuemon have started. We have prepared “6 types” and “9 types” that are easy to use not only for Valentine’s Day and White Day but also for winter gifts.
1. Matcha chocolate x sesame matcha
Matcha ganache is combined with fragrant sesame and coated with matcha chocolate. The texture of Fiantine is an accent.
2. Milk chocolate x matcha
Milk chocolate is coated on matcha ganache with vodka. The top surface is decorated with the Uji matcha logo.
3. Matcha chocolate x Yuzu matcha
Matcha ganache with refreshing yuzu is coated with matcha chocolate. I treated the gold leaf gorgeously.
4. Bitter chocolate x roasted green tea & hazelnuts
Hojicha ganache with hazelnut paste coated with bitter chocolate. I treated the pattern that imaged the tea leaves.
5. Matcha chocolate x strawberry fiantine
Strawberry crunch chocolate coated with matcha chocolate. The strawberry topping is a cute accent.
6. Bitter chocolate x roasted green tea
Hojicha ganache coated with bitter chocolate. The surface is treated with silver foil.
7. Matcha chocolate x strong matcha (limited to 9 types)
Matcha chocolate is coated on matcha ganache using dark tea matcha with vodka. I treated Tencha.
8. Bitter chocolate x Sansho matcha (limited to 9 types)
Matcha ganache with fragrant Japanese pepper is coated with bitter chocolate. A new taste that combines Japanese ingredients.
9. Matcha Chocolate x Sakura Matcha (Limited to 9 types)
Matcha chocolate is coated on the matcha ganache that spreads the flavor of cherry blossoms softly. The fragrant taste is attractive.
The package is based on the motif of a tea plantation and a scene of time passing slowly. Enjoy the nine personalities of Itohkyuemon in a relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
