Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse Launches Summer 2026 Dessert & Afternoon Tea Menu on May 26

Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse, the chocolate specialty store from Paris, will launch its Summer 2026 limited menu on May 26 (Tuesday) at 'Le Salon,' the dessert salon attached to the Tokyo Workshop in Nihonbashi.

The menu features two distinct desserts layering seasonal fruits—such as French griotte cherries, mangoes, and citrus—over deep cacao flavors. It also includes the 'Le Goûter' afternoon tea, a chocolate-intensive experience incorporating summery hues and fresh fruits. This season offers a unique harmony between the lingering richness of cacao and the refreshing acidity of fruit.

### Granité Chocolat Fruits Rouges
An 'evolved shaved ice' that combines summer fruits with chocolate. It features the refreshing acidity of fresh lime and sweet-and-sour confit of French griotte cherries and raspberries. Beneath, a smooth 75% chocolate cream is hidden, along with the crunchy texture of Madagascar 75% chocolate mixed with crushed hazelnuts and praline.
- Price: ¥2,310 (tax included)
- Availability: Exclusive to Tokyo Workshop Le Salon
- Period: May 26 to Late September 2026 (planned)

### Biscuit Matcha & Mangue
A butter-rich 'Pur Beurre' biscuit baked with matcha flavor, topped with mango confit and lightly roasted juicy mango. It is finished with a sprinkle of fresh lime and orange zest. The aroma of butter, the bitterness of matcha, and the melting sweetness of mango create a rich palate experience.
