Two totally different cherry blossom chocolate dessert drinks imply we’ve obtained a giant, and candy, resolution to make.
Each spring, parks, mountains, and different outside areas in Japan flip pink with the return of the cherry blossoms. An analogous indoor phenomenon additionally happens yearly too, although, because the nation’s cafes, bakeries, and different suppliers of candy indulgences roll out particular sakura variations of their signature objects. Making the entire thing much more joyous is that sakura sweets begin displaying up sooner than their floral inspirations, they usually have a tendency to stay round for longer than the scant few days the cherry blossoms themselves stay at most bloom.
Within the case of Godiva, that signifies that the Belgian chocolatier’s specialty shops in Japan are on the brink of begin serving a particular sakura taste of its Chocolixir dessert drink. This chocolate-base beverage is at all times tempting, nevertheless it’s additionally presenting a little bit of a dilemma in that there are two variations of the Sakura Chocolixir to select from, every with their very own hard-to-resist attraction.
The one which’s merely referred to as the Sakura Chocolixir (priced at 870 yen [US$5.75]) is the chilly model of the drink, which provides sakura flavoring to its chocolate blended ice base. Godiva is unabashedly decadent on the subject of its creations, and the drink is topped with a spiral spire of whipped cream drizzled with sakura sauce and dusted with pink chocolate shavings to offer the visible impression of a scattering of cherry blossom petals. Deeper down within the cup you’ll additionally discover items of warabimochi, a jiggly mochi confectionery which for this drink additionally has salted sakura leaf kneaded into its rice flour dough.
Nevertheless, the Sakura Scorching Chocolixir (770 yen) additionally makes a compelling case for consumption. Clearly you don’t get the crunchy/slushy texture of the chilly model’s ice, and the warabimochi apparently can’t deal with the warmth both, because it’s absent from this drink. Nevertheless, with each of Godiva’s sakura Chocolixirs happening sale this month, when the climate remains to be decidedly chilly in Japan, a drink that delivers cherry blossom sensations to the style buds and concurrently warms us up from head to toe does sound like a cup of paradise.
So far as quandaries go, although, that is one we’re glad to have, and Godiva has even launched a teaser video displaying simply how beneficiant they’re with the quantity of sakura leaf used within the chilly Sakura Chocolixir.
Fortunately, with the drinks not scheduled to go on sale till February 15 (or February 17 at sure Godiva Japan branches), we’ve nonetheless obtained a while to make up our thoughts as to which model we’re going to drink…or, if we’re being trustworthy, which model we’re going to drink first, and which we’re going to strive second, with as little time lapse as attainable between these two occasions.
