🍷"This Chocolate Gets You Tipsy?" – Kanebo Tokyo’s ‘Hitorijime Sweets’ with Wine Lees, Orange Peel & Chocolate — A Gourmet Snack for Adults 🇯🇵✨2665
Okay, I know what you’re thinking: “Chocolate with wine and orange peel? That sounds fancy.” 😂 But no — this Kanebo Tokyo Hitorijime Sweets series is so much more than just a snack. It’s the kind of product that makes you pause, take a deep breath, and go, “Ah… this is what luxury tastes like.” 🍫✨
It’s a limited-edition gourmet chocolate line by Kanebo Tokyo, designed for adults who enjoy quiet moments of self-care. Each bag says “During my precious time” — a nod to those little breaks we all need. The packaging is stunning: purple, red, and orange, each matching its flavor, like something from a high-end boutique. 🎨🌙
1️⃣ Wine Lees Chocolate (Purple)
- Ingredients: White wine lees + raisins + white chocolate
- Alcohol content: 0.4% (just enough to feel “tipsy”)
- Taste: Creamy, slightly acidic, with a rich fermented aroma — like eating a glass of wine 🍷🍇
- Secret: Made with real wine lees (leftover from fermentation), giving it a unique depth and sustainability vibe 🌍
2️⃣ Coffee Chocolate (Red)
- Ingredients: Dark chocolate + coffee bean bits + chocolate chunks
- Alcohol content: None (but caffeine!)
- Taste: Bitter-sweet, smoky, and bold — perfect with espresso or tea ☕️🔥
- Secret: The surface is covered in crushed coffee beans, so every bite has a satisfying crunch!
3️⃣ Orange Chocolate (Orange)
- Ingredients: Bitter orange peel + dark chocolate + orange zest
- Alcohol content: 0.2% (from natural oils in orange peel)
- Taste: Bright, zesty, and slightly bitter — like a citrus explosion in your mouth 🍊💥
- Secret: Uses Italian bitter orange peel, known for its aromatic oils — great for focus and mood lift!
All three are labeled “handmade method”, meaning they’re not mass-produced. Each piece has irregular edges and natural textures, like a work of art. 🎨✨
I’ve used them three ways:
- With red wine → The wine lees version “echoes” the drink, creating a full sensory experience 🍷🍫
- With coffee → The coffee version enhances the bitterness, making it addictive ☕️🔥
- As a bedtime treat → The orange one is refreshing and calming, perfect for winding down 🛌🍊
And yes — it really is a ritual. In Japan, people often enjoy these during quiet evenings, reading, or after work — a small act of kindness to themselves. 💌💖
If you love gourmet snacks, slow living, or just want to add a touch of elegance to your day… grab this. Because sometimes, the best treats aren’t just delicious — they’re also deeply comforting. 💫🍫
