(1) "Shukugawa Sakura," a new type of gelato combining Japanese and Western flavors

CHOCOLAT SWEETS TRAVERSEE offers a number of completely original chocolat sweets that can only be enjoyed at the store, inspired by the store's concept of "intersection" and incorporating the perspective of "crossing" ingredients. This time, we propose a gelato that is a cross between Japanese and Western gelato, perfect for the cherry blossom viewing season.

(1) Shukugawa cherry blossoms

a) Production process

The base of the monaka is topped with our original cream, a mixture of chocolate custard cream and red bean paste. The rich chocolate flavor is followed by the scent of anko (red bean paste). The center is topped with vanilla foam mousse. The mousse gently envelops the sweetness of the red bean paste to create a mellow taste.

b) Production process

The sakura gelato is large enough to overflow from the sakura monaka. The addition of salted cherry blossoms gives this gelato a refreshing spring-like aftertaste.

c) Production process

The strawberry sauce and white chocolate W-sauce are very attractive. A sour strawberry sauce made from French strawberries with a bit of passion fruit juice added, and Hokkaido white chocolate are doubly poured over the strawberries. You can feel the rich chocolay, delicious taste and sourness of strawberries.

(2) "CHOCOLAT SWEETS TRAVERSEE Shukugawa store" and CHOCOLAT SWEETS TRAVERSEE Tsukaguchi main store, both chocolate specialty stores based on the concept of "intersection," opened in September 2022 in Tsukaguchi, Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture. The Shukugawa store opened last July as a sister store. Tsukaguchi, Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, where the Tsukaguchi main store is located, has long flourished as a town where people and goods come and go as a strategic point for land and sea transportation between the political and economic centers of Osaka and Kyoto and the western part of Japan and the Seto Inland Sea. In recent years, the city has played a central role in the Hanshin Industrial Zone, and while it has developed as a manufacturing town with many factories, it has also become a bedroom community for many people living in Osaka and Kobe, where industry and lifestyle overlap, but each coexists well. The name "TRAVERSEE," which means "intersection" in French, was derived from the geographical characteristics of Tsukaguchi, where people and goods actively move in and out of each other and coexist. Centering on Hyogo, a town that can also be called a "crossroads," we propose chocolate sweets with the theme of "crossover" where ingredients and materials cross each other.
