Higashinihombashi with chocolate and edges
The Higashinihombashi area has chocolate and edges. On the website of the Japan Confectionery Association, the history of Japanese Western Confectionery says, "The first chocolate in Japan was processed and sold in Nihonbashi-ku, Tokyo (Note: original text was old) Wakamatsucho (currently Higashinihombashi) It is said that it is Yonezu Matsuzo. He advertised a chocolate in the Kanayomi Shimbun on December 24, 1878 (Meji 11). Around this time, chocolate was written as Inoguchi Reisu, old-age Sugar, Chiko Sugar, Chiyo Ancient Sugar, etc., and cacao was written as Amazumochi. " In addition, the website says, "Initial advertisement published by Yonezu Matsuzo. In the next line of "New Invention Bonbon", you can see the word "New Inoguchi Resugar" "" and introduce the advertisement posted.
A shop specializing in taking out chocolate sweets in a historical place
Based on this history, the chocolate confectionery and takeout specialty store SUN CHOCOLATE opened in the Higashinihombashi area in April this year.
SUN represents the fact that cocoa beans, which are the raw material of chocolate, grew in plenty of tropical sun, and three types of cocoa beans (Forastero, cryolo, and trinitario) are used as a symbol mark.
Mr. Yuichi Shimamura, the representative, is the third generation of a company that orders for pots and other products in both countries across the Sumida River, and this "san" is also a newcomer in the chocolate industry. It was almost a year ago that I decided to open a store. It is said that it was recommended for many years by Kazuo Noguchi, a local senior who plans and produces chocolate products and has a relationship with him at work.
Currently, there are 14 types of Japanese style.
There are a total of 14 items, including 5 types of brownie, raw chocolate, terrine, boro, and cranchi. "There is a risk of being buried in Western style. We aim to make Japanese style using Japanese ingredients as much as possible and aim for something that can only be found here." For example, raw chocolate contains Sansho, Shichimi pepper, mirin, and Boro contains Hojicha, matcha, and yuzu. The price including tax is 350 yen for brownies and 800 yen for terrine. Mr. Noguchi also makes a request from here, but it is said that the product here is said to be Noguchi's "culmination", and it seems that Mr. Noguchi's thoughts are packed.
From customers, it is said that it is "a chocolate shop that is hard to buy". According to the reason, when a woman returning from work visits, it is said that the store will not be closed for 5:30 pm. But I don't think I'm going to extend the closing time.
