Speaking of summer sweets, light-tasting frozen desserts such as jelly and pudding are the main characters. Chocolate, on the other hand, tends to move away from concerns about "heavy look and taste" and "worries about melting." However, I found a cool chocolate that I want to taste in summer at "Belle Amer", so I will introduce it.


Bel Amer is a chocolate specialty store where the circular chocolate bar "Pare Chocolat" is gaining popularity. Beautifully decorated products that are as colorful as a palette of paints are always on the market. Of particular note during this period is the pallet chocolate, which is based on a cool blue color. Let's introduce three products, "Ramune", "Chocolate Mint" and "Blue Earl Gray" in order.


First of all, "Ramune" . It is one of the "Summer Palais Chocolat" series, which is limited to spring and summer and allows you to enjoy a smooth mouthfeel even when cooled.


A refreshing appearance in which white chocolate wraps light blue chocolate. Colorful grains are studded on the surface and fine candy is studded inside. Carbonic acid is also used as a raw material, and it has a surprising texture that pops when you put it in your mouth! Gap Moe's pallet chocolate that gives off a candy-like enjoyment while having a rich and melty taste.


Next is the classic "chocolate mint" . Mint-flavored white chocolate and bitter chocolate create an exquisite marble pattern. Isn't the mysterious and solemn atmosphere somewhere like a planet?


The subdued sweetness of bitter chocolate and the refreshingness of mint are a perfect match. I don't really like the mint flavor, but it tastes good because it has a mild aroma. It is an elegant and soothing taste that makes you want to enjoy it slowly at night. The cool and stylish look is sure to be a great gift for men.


The last is "Blue Earl Gray" with beautiful streamlined flowers. You will be surprised at the bright and deep blue color, but the true identity is white chocolate with Earl Gray tea leaves. The moment you open the seal, you will be fascinated by its fragrance. The crispy and pleasant texture of tea leaves that appears between the simple and elegant aroma and the mellow sweetness. Thanks to Earl Gray, it has a rich but refreshing aftertaste and an addictive taste.



Bel Amer's blue chocolate that is cool to look at and delicious to eat. How about choosing it as a summer souvenir or hospitality? The price is 260 yen each (excluding tax). According to the clerk, Palais Chocolat is hard to melt up to a temperature of about 30 degrees Celsius. It is a reassuring chocolate to carry in hot weather. It was recommended to put it in the vegetable room when refrigerating.

Also pay attention to the seasonal "Summer Palais Chocolat" series. In addition to the "ramune" introduced this time, there are five types in the lineup: "melon soda", "apricot kernel coconut", "strawberry milk", and "Uji matcha azuki". If you keep it cool, it will be a good snack for your hot body after exercising or after taking a bath.
