Don't you love the packaging? They actually put it into an insulated bag with a little ice pack. Sometimes I think Japan overdoes it a bit with the packaging, but wouldn't this make you feel special?
I got the 5-piece assortment called "coffret". (I looked it up and "coffret" means jewelry box in French.) These "little jewels" were delicious.From the left clockwise: "hazelnut" (hazelnut ganache with a cashew on top), "mocha" (a creamy coffee flavored ganache), "stardust" (shaped like the moon and filled with espresso ganache), "ananas" (a pineapple ganache with coconut flakes around the outside), and "black tea" (earl grey ganache). I actually wanted more dark chocolate ones, but those had alcohol in them :(
Hope your week is going well.

mmmm, chocolate! I am not fan of alcohol filled chocolate neither !
Hi Bea,
Somehow chocolates with alcohol are kind of strong tasting and the chocolate flavor is usually lost.
Thanks for stopping by!

Kat,
I love Japanese packaging - most elaborate and beautiful in the world, I think! I often save the boxes from Japan because they're too pretty to throw away. The chocolates look yummy!
Kat,
I don't think I know anyone that knows as much about chocolate as you do and that tries as many different types as you do. You're my hero!!!
Hi Anita,
Yes, I sometimes save the boxes and re-use them to give little treats away in. Just put a little sticker over the brand name.
