Fashionable "apple chocolate" with an exotic atmosphere. Introducing "Pome Damour" from the chocolate shop "Ichibankan" in Motomachi, Kobe.
Pome Damour is made by slowly boiling fresh apples with honey and wrapping them in bittersweet chocolate. The landmark is a box with apples drawn in bright green on the back of dark tea.
The price starts from 918 yen (tax included) with 160g (5.64oz). You can get it at stores in Kobe, online shops, and at the confectionery corners of department stores nationwide. This time I bought it at Ginza Mitsukoshi.
When you open the golden candy wrap, a big chunk of chocolate appears.
However, the chocolate is only thin on the surface. The protagonist is the apple inside. Chocolate adds a touch of bitterness to the fresh and rich sweet and sour taste. The contrast between crisp apples and melting chocolate is also wonderful.
It has a taste that you can enjoy a luxurious feeling even with a single grain, and it goes well with coffee and tea. Perfect for autumn tea time. When you go to Kobe, of course, if you see it at a department store, please check it out.
