Kyoto's Shichimiya Honpo Launches 'CASSE du BANKAN' Peel Chocolate Using Kawachi Bankan Citrus; 'Kawachi Bankan Peel' Also Released Simultaneously.

"Kawachi Bankan," grown under the abundant sun of Ehime, has been transformed into "CASSE du BANKAN," a treat that captures its unique, elegant bitterness and refreshing aroma within rich bitter chocolate. "CASSE" means "broken" in French. The bitter chocolate is intentionally broken into irregular pieces, with candied Kawachi Bankan peels carefully kneaded inside, layered with the crunchy, light texture of cornflakes. A burst of citrus within the bitterness With one bite, the powerful bitterness of cacao spreads, followed by the subtle sweetness and fragrance of the citrus that lingers elegantly. It is a sophisticated chocolate designed to be savored slowly. Its not-too-sweet flavor pairs perfectly with alcoholic beverages like whiskey or wine. Named to evoke the fusion of East and West, "CASSE du BANKAN" is perfect for a little daily luxury or as a gift for someone special.
