This is a product by the well-known Pierre Hermé Paris, available only at the Marui Imai Sapporo flagship store. The cake is large enough to share with your family or partner. The tartness of the raspberry flavor, well matched with the bitter chocolate, makes this cake an addictive treat.

Fran Bigelow, Fran's Chocolate
Buyer's "Recommendation!
A remarkable brand appearing for the first time this year. It is the only American brand in the venue. The chocolates are delicate and elegant, overturning the image of American chocolates. In particular, the most popular Salt Caramel has a genius balance of chocolate, caramel and salt!
4. choux chocolat single origin [Majidu Chocolat

This is a taste only available at the Sapporo venue, using "Arriba Nacional" cacao beans from Ecuador. You can enjoy the rich cream and the rich flavor of cacao beans.
Chef Matsumuro of Majidu Chocolat
Buyer's "Recommendation!
Majidu Chocolat" has been taking on the challenge of making chocolates, paying particular attention to the cultivation of cacao beans. This year's cream puff, which is more powerful than the previous year's, uses only a limited variety of cacao beans, making it an item that is irresistible to connoisseurs. We hope you will enjoy this limited-edition product, which has a milky flavor, while at the same time allowing you to enjoy the full flavor of the cacao beans.
5. basque cheese chocolat [Kazunori Ikeda Andivi Duel
Basque cheese chocolat: 3,101 yen per piece
A limited edition flavor commemorating the 150th anniversary of Marui Imai's founding has been added to the popular cheesecake, which has an irresistible bitterness from the charred surface. You can enjoy the encounter of rich cheese and chocolate.
Kazunori Ikeda, Chef, Andivi Duel Ikeda
Buyer's "Here is my recommendation!
Kazunori Ikeda Andivi Duel" is one of the top five most popular pastry chefs at the venue and has many fans. The Basque cheese chocolat is a perfect balance of cheese and chocolat, which can only be created by a patisserie that has been trained in Paris. It is recommended to be served with hot milk or milk tea, or as an accompaniment to whiskey or other alcoholic beverages.
