What is Full Course Chocolate?

As the name suggests, this is chocolate inspired by a restaurant's full course. Each piece of chocolate has a distinct role, with unique flavors and ways to enjoy them.

To allow you to fully savor the course, the first two items, Aperitif (appetizer) and Potage (soup), will have their flavors introduced beforehand, guiding you to the entrance of a new chocolate world.
Then, starting with Poisson (fish course), the Untried Chocolate Studio experience begins! The fourth chocolate is Sorbet. The fifth is Viande (meat course). And the final, sixth piece is Café (coffee).

You are encouraged to taste the chocolates and imagine the flavors yourself. Of course, the answers will be revealed after you've had your experience. The moment of revelation is sure to be exciting!

Full Course Chocolate is not just a "simple sweet" that is merely sweet or bitter. After the experience, your preconceived notions of "chocolate" will likely be transformed. Only those who partake in this experience can truly arrive at a "new world of chocolate."
