[New Experience] Magic in Every Bite: 'Frost Chocolat Fruit' Launches as a Summer Limited Edition.

Chocography Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kazuyoshi Yanagisawa) operates 'Mélé de Chocolat', a specialty store for freeze-dried fruit infused with chocolate. The store will launch a new frozen dessert sensation, 'Frost Chocolat Fruit', as a summer limited edition from June 1, 2026. This cold chocolate fruit defies conventional wisdom, as its texture changes from crispy to smooth within 30 minutes after being taken out of the freezer, thanks to a unique tempering technique.

■ Development Background: A Chilled Delight That Defies Convention, 'Frost Chocolat Fruit'

'Frost Chocolat Fruit' is a new sensation dessert made by infusing freeze-dried fruit with white chocolate and then chilling it in the freezer.

While common infused chocolates use 'semi-chocolate' for ease of manufacturing, our store insists on using 'chocolate with a cocoa content of 21% or more', which is extremely difficult to handle, in pursuit of rich aroma and melt-in-the-mouth texture. This time, we have applied this technology to develop a summer-limited product that overturns the common sense of chocolate: 'it becomes even more delicious when frozen'.

■ Product Features: 'Magical Texture' for Only 30 Minutes

Melt-in-the-mouth texture that changes with temperature:

Immediately after being taken out of the freezer, it has a 'cool and crispy' texture. As time passes, the mellow sweetness of the fruit and white chocolate spreads, transforming into a 'magical texture'.

Use of carefully selected domestic strawberries:

We use 'Tochiotome' strawberries from Tochigi Prefecture. Sourced directly from farmers, the strawberries are of the highest grade, though their shapes are irregular. The color and shape of the strawberries are preserved, achieving both the original sweet and sour flavor of the strawberries and the satisfaction of a dessert.

Ideal for summer gifts:

These 'cold chocolate fruits' are recommended as a souvenir for the hot season or as a treat for yourself.

■ Representative Kazuyoshi Yanagisawa's Vision: 'Turning Fruits from All 47 Prefectures into Chocolate'

Representative Yanagisawa, who has been dedicated to chocolate for 50 years, dreams of 'completing a fruit map of all 47 prefectures'. Mélé de Chocolat was born from the passion to deliver precious fruits, limited in season and quantity, in the most delicious form without waste. This product combines the technology of infusing chocolate into freeze-dried fruit, redefining the appeal of Japanese fruits as a 'cold dessert'. It is a new challenge to deliver the charm of Japanese fruits to as many customers as possible.
