Maison Cacao Launches New 'Framboise' Flavor for Flagship 'Chocolat Coquille' Collection, Now Available by Reservation

## Maison Cacao Launches New 'Framboise' Flavor for Flagship 'Chocolat Coquille'

Kamakura-based chocolate brand Maison Cacao (Founder: Shingo Ishihara) will launch the new "Chocolat Coquille Framboise" as part of its core lineup on June 1, 2026. This brings the "Chocolat Coquille" collection to four permanent flavors: Classic, Vanilla, Caramel, and Framboise.

To ensure delicate quality while reliably serving a wider customer base, all Chocolat Coquille products are now offered through a store-based reservation system.

"Chocolat Coquille Framboise" (6 pieces), 4,320 yen (tax included).

This piece is based on carefully blended milk chocolate, paired with rare raspberries grown in Obihiro, Hokkaido. The rich sweet-and-sour flavor and aroma of the concentrated domestic raspberries beautifully overlap with the soft cacao texture. We invite you to experience the spreading aroma of Framboise.

[About Chocolat Coquille]
"Chocolat Coquille" is a chocolate masterpiece with an extremely delicate structure and flavor, where even the slightest error in the process cannot be tolerated. The moment you crack the thin, delicate chocolate shell, it snaps and liquid chocolate flows out. The rich aroma and melting texture that spread with surprise are truly "art made of chocolate." Created only by select artisans in a limited environment, this piece continues to captivate many fans as a symbol of the brand.

[Regarding Reservation Sales]
Chocolat Coquille is a delicate chocolate that can only be completed when the freshness of ingredients, seasonal environment, and artisan craftsmanship align. Especially during the Esprit season beginning in April, the number that can be produced while maintaining quality is limited. We offer it through store-based reservation sales to ensure reliable delivery to more customers.
