■ What is 'Strawberry choco'?
Produced by 'Candy apple,' a professional apple candy specialty store with 33 locations nationwide under the philosophy of 'sharing Japan's highest quality fruits with the world,' this is Japan's first strawberry chocolate specialty store. Starting with its flagship store in Harajuku, it has expanded to major cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, garnering massive attention with over 50 million total views on SNS-related videos.
■ Product Features
- Daily direct delivery of the highest quality strawberries: Leveraging the unique sourcing power cultivated at 'Candy apple,' we receive daily shipments of high-quality seasonal strawberries directly from the market, selecting the freshest ones to enhance the sweetness of the chocolate.
- Couverture chocolate loved by renowned patisseries: To maximize the natural charm of strawberries, we use high-grade couverture chocolate favored by top-tier patisseries.
