This product is made with a patented process using 60% couverture chocolate. It has been selected as a local specialty product of Kawasaki City and as the No. 1 hit product for this year's Valentine's Day by the Nikkei. The incorporation of Sawanoi's sakekasu (sake lees) into Mushi Chocolat has also made it a popular product among many adult men.

When the celebrity chefs did not really enjoy my chocolate cake, which was featured as my specialty, and failed to understand its appeal, I was prompted to make my own delicious chocolate cake without being held back by existing production methods. Instead of making the cake with cocoa powder, I made it with actual chocolate packed with umami flavor, reduced the number of filler ingredients as much as possible, and developed a patented technique for emulsifying egg whites with the chocolate to complete the cake. When our Tachikawa store was featured in the Nikkei for the lines on Valentine's Day, major confectionery companies tried to imitate our product, so we applied for a patent, which was granted three years later. Today, we sell around 140,000 cakes during the Valentine's Day period in the first half of February. This product has become wildly popular, selling 400,000 pieces each year. We have also collaborated with Mr. Sawanoi of Ozawa Shuzo, a sake brewery in Okutama (also in the Tama region of Tokyo), to create a version of Mushi Chocolat that incorporates the use of sakekasu (sake lees) as part of the ecute Tachikawa project. While this was a short-lived project, we received so many inquiries from our customers that we began selling it as a regular product.

Although we inspect the product during shipment, please open it only after confirming that the Ageless Eye oxygen indicator on the back of the product packaging is pink. If the indicator is gray before you open the product, the packaging may have been damaged and the oxygen scavenger may no longer be effective, leading to a risk of mold. Please contact us without opening the product in such cases. The indicator will turn gray after the product is opened.
