A luxurious chocolate with an addictive taste-almonds wrapped in creamy mascarpone cheese.

Last update :
Supervised by :  Marushige Co., Ltd.

Produced and sold by Osaka-based "Okashi no Marushige," Kokyu Chocolate Kitashinchi is a regionally exclusive chocolate that has gained national popularity through frequent media features. With Marushige’s direct stores located primarily in the Osaka area, this chocolate has become a staple Osaka souvenir known as a "treat you can only get in Osaka."

This luxurious chocolate features an almond wrapped in rich mascarpone cheese cream and coated with ultra-fine cocoa powder. The combination of the bittersweet cocoa powder, the deep flavor of the mascarpone cream, and the crunch of the almond creates an irresistible taste. With a balanced sweetness, it pairs well with alcoholic beverages despite being a confectionery.

The classic Kokyu Chocolate Kitashinchi is dusted with cocoa powder, while other popular variations include the matcha-powdered Kokyu Chocolate Kyoto Uji and Kokyu Chocolate Milk, which replaces the almond with a milk chocolate center. These diverse flavors make it a versatile and beloved gift choice.
