Meiji Meltykiss Premium Chocolat

Cocoa-dusted truffle cubes · Meiji · Seasonal

must-try

Why it's worth it

Meltykiss is Japan's favorite winter-only chocolate, sold roughly from autumn to spring because it is too soft to survive the Japanese summer. It is a cheap supermarket stand-in for nama chocolate and a good gift if you travel in the cold season.

Taste

Soft ganache cubes dusted with cocoa powder that melt almost instantly; smooth, rich, like nama chocolate
