Takenoko No Sato Chocolate Cookies - Chez Shibata Hazelnut & Yuzu

Chef Takeshi Shibata has taken the "Bamboo Shoot" to a new level of French-inspired complexity. This edition features a sophisticated pairing of rich, roasted nuttiness and sharp Japanese citrus. It is a bold, refreshing departure from the standard chocolate snack.

🌟 The "Patissier" Takenoko Experience

• Fragrant Yuzu Chocolate: The outer layer is infused with premium Japanese Yuzu, providing a bright, floral acidity that cuts through the richness of the nut.

• Roasted Hazelnut Cookie: The biscuit base is crafted with roasted hazelnut, offering a deep, earthy crunch that provides a "savory" foundation to the citrus.

• Gourmet Citrus Balance: Designed by Chef Shibata to highlight the "aroma" of the Yuzu zest, ensuring the fruit feels natural rather than candy-like.

• Textural Contrast: The sharp snap of the citrus chocolate gives way to the crumbly, nutty texture of the hazelnut shoot.

• Chez Shibata Signature: A limited-edition release that brings the luxury of a Nagoya pastry boutique to a classic Meiji favorite.
