PIERRE MARCOLINI JAPAN Co., Ltd., which handles Pierre Marcolini in Japan, has announced the release of "Frozen Cuberdon," a world-first new product that reimagines Belgium's traditional confection "Cuberdon" as a frozen sweet. This new summer 2022 offering will be available exclusively in Japan from June 25th.
Brand founder Pierre Marcolini held a strong affection for Japan and its fans, visiting annually around Valentine's Day even before the pandemic. This new product was born from the desire to "deliver a refreshing and special sweet that will bring smiles to everyone, even during Japan's typically hot summers."
This creation showcases the unique creativity of Pierre Marcolini, who is not only a chocolatier but also a pastry chef, ice cream maker, and confectioner.
Originally, Cuberdon is a sugar confection filled with sweet syrup, cherished as a traditional Belgian sweet. The "Frozen Cuberdon" being released offers six colorful flavors. It is a frozen confection that reimagines Cuberdon for the Japanese market, capturing the taste of fresh fruit with the aromas of herbs and spices.

Take-out options are also available, to be enjoyed with soda or champagne. These come as a set with elderflower soda or champagne, allowing "Frozen Cuberdon" to be savored on its own or added to soda or champagne for a combined experience. In Belgium, Cuberdon is often enjoyed with beverages like tea or champagne, suggesting an authentic taste experience.
Developed with affection for his distant fans in Japan, this is Pierre Marcolini's unique Cuberdon. It is an entirely new, unprecedented summer sweet that can be enjoyed as is, or by adding it to chilled champagne or elderflower soda.
