There are various flavors available, but this champagne and strawberry combination is probably the most expensive (judging from the set price). Each truffle chocolate costs around 1,000 yen per piece. This luxurious truffle chocolate has a fluffy melt-in-your-mouth texture, with a rich and bitter cocoa flavor that exudes sophistication! I want to try all the flavors! Thank you for the delicious meal!

In Tokyo's Chuo Ward, at Ginza Kagaya, Munian Matsuya Ginza store, you can purchase one piece of matcha, red bean, and rum truffles for around ¥800 each! The seasonal flavors include matcha, red bean, fig, and honey snow moon wind flower, which are divided by the addition of gin, cognac, rum, or kirsch. At Matsuya Ginza, there are also limited edition truffles with a combination of champagne and strawberries!

First Visit 202012 (No.2301) This New Year's, it seems that we won't be going anywhere due to the impact of 'COVID-19', so I visited here to stock up on sweets. This is a chocolate workshop based in Kyoto, rooted in the French-born Truffe au Chocolat, with a website established in 2019 and a total of 3 stores including the main store in Kyoto and 3 department stores. They operate two brands, "atelier du munian" and "Cacao Tei", but they are quite pricey, so the products would be a delight to receive (laughs). Chocolate Yokan 540 yen. Upon the recommendation of the shop assistant, I purchased the above product! It is a rich chocolate-flavored yokan made by kneading melted chocolate into strained sweet bean paste, with a smooth texture like terrine. The initial taste is chocolate, but the aftertaste is a delicious yokan with an elegant sweetness. With a shelf life until November 27, 2021, it is definitely a product made with chocolate, a delightful yokan (laughs). Thank you for the meal.

Rice cake chocolate shop. I had already written a review on Tabelog (laughs) I stopped by after a long time. It is given frozen. It is recommended to thaw for one hour before eating. The chocolate is crumbly and the rice cake is soft and delicious.

A brand that incorporates the spirit of "Munian," meaning "saints and ascetic monks," originating from Kyoto. atelierdumunianhttps://munian.net/ They continue to create truffles with a unique flavor and texture using delicate human sensibility and skill. Munian Truffle Limited Edition Assortment of 2 pieces Incorporating Uji-produced stone-milled matcha "Matcha" and the characteristic roasted aroma of "Hojicha" It is a refrigerated product, but should be brought back to room temperature when eating. Each one is carefully handmade over several days, with a fluffy texture and excellent melt-in-your-mouth quality that is irresistible. When you put it in your mouth, the chocolate disappears quickly, leaving behind the flavors of matcha and hojicha. It's around 800 yen per piece, but it's worth the value of this delicious chocolate. A perfect gift for your loved ones.

I forgot to take a photo, but the truffle chocolates here were truly unique and I really liked them. They are sold in sets of four at the Four Seasons Wine Bar. The brandy-infused "Amber" flavor was really good. I would like to try other flavors as well.

I had the Premium Gâteau Chocolat au Truffe 4th Edition Matcha Black for 6480 yen at a chocolate confectionery shop located in Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. The shop is situated in the basement of Matsuya Ginza store, which has been around since the 1920s. The shop is a branch of a chocolatier founded in Kyoto in 2009, with the main store now located in the Gion district of Kyoto. The shop opened in the basement of Matsuya Ginza store during a major renovation in spring 2014. They specialize in chocolate truffles made with Japanese couverture and cream, known for their airy texture. They also offer items infused with matcha and Kyoto sake. I ordered the mentioned item for delivery and followed the instructions to thaw it before eating. The cake had layers of matcha cream and chocolate cream, with a strong flavor and sweetness that would satisfy even those who love sweet treats.

On this day, my wife bought some sweets for a certain event here. We visited this Western confectionery store located on the B1F of Matsuya Ginza on Ginza Chuo Street. It is a confectionery store specializing in French-born, Kyoto-raised Munian truffles. The item purchased was the "Four Seasons Sake Bar" for 3240 yen. We enjoyed it as a snack on the same day. The product is frozen, so it is recommended to thaw it in the refrigerator (10°C or below) for 1-2 hours, then leave it at room temperature (20°C) for about 5 minutes before eating, when the surface of the truffle becomes soft. We didn't pay much attention to this and ate it immediately when we got home, but it turned out to be just right. The "Four Seasons Sake Bar" is a selection of truffles with the following flavors: Rose - with a highly fragrant taste of French Tavel Rosé wine, Gyokuro - featuring a refreshing sweetness brought out by adding Kyoto-produced Junmai sake to Gyokuro tea, Amber - a richly flavored truffle harmonizing with the aroma of French brandy, and Snow - a special delicacy with the delicate and soft texture of snow created by adding gin. I chose the Amber and Gyokuro flavors. The Amber didn't have a strong brandy flavor, but the Gyokuro was amazing. It had a strong taste and aroma of Gyokuro tea. The bitterness was also good. These are super high-end truffle chocolates priced at 800 yen per piece. I definitely wouldn't buy them unless it's for a certain event (T▽T)ノ_彡☆ばんばん！Well, you can tell the quality is high here. Thank you for the meal! (As of March 8, 2018, rating 3.06 points)

When I was wandering around Matsuya Ginza looking for Valentine's chocolate, I came across this shop. However, I hesitated since it was from Muian in Kyoto, and I had just moved from Kansai half a year ago, so I decided against it. But I was intrigued by the pocket-sized Chocola Choux (486), which was cute in the shape of a heart. I forgot to take a picture of the package. There was also one in the shape of a sea bream, but it was a combination of red bean paste and chocolate, so I gave up because my husband doesn't like red bean paste. When I tried melting it... my husband felt a bit uncomfortable with the combination of chocolate drink and the skin of the Monaka. It might just be a matter of getting used to it... However, the price was a bit high.

Muni-an @ Ginza Kyoto is a shop with its main store located in Ginza Kyoto. It all started with truffles. Muni refers to the spiritual concept of a silent saint. I purchased a tea set with three truffles! They need to be refrigerated, but it's best to let them sit at room temperature before eating. From right to left: Sweet Green Tea ★ Stems Tea has a refreshing taste with a smooth sweetness, followed by a refreshing finish. It's very rich! I was surprised by the fluffy texture! I couldn't tell if it was chocolate or cream! Hojicha ★ It has a strong roasted aroma and a slight bitterness, very rich! Matcha ★ You can enjoy the rich flavor and aroma of Uji matcha. It was truly a luxurious and delicious truffle!

After buying some baked goods as souvenirs for my wife, I went exploring the first floor of Ginza Matsuya looking for a chocolate cake for the kids. Most of the shops didn't have what I was looking for, but then I found the Black Black cake from Munian. It looked delicious, right? It cost 1,944 yen for a size 3, but I thought why not give it a try. It's similar to a Western-style cake from a Kyoto confectionery shop. I brought it home and shared it with the kids, and it disappeared in no time. It may be small in size, but it was definitely delicious enough for them.

This is a chocolate shop located in Kitashirakawa, Kyoto. I had a good impression of their truffle chocolates made with Japanese ingredients like matcha, hojicha, and yuzu when I tried them at a past event at JR Kyoto Isetan. They had a smooth texture and I liked them. They needed to be refrigerated, so I didn't buy them at that time. This year, they opened a store in Matsuya Ginza, so I decided to try the following cake that I had been curious about: Gâteau Chocolat au Truffe. It is a chocolate cake with two layers of cream made with smooth Muanian truffles (according to the pamphlet). I bought the matcha x black version (size 3, 1,800 yen excluding tax). The matcha cream uses matcha from Tsujiri Ippoen in Kyoto. It lasts for 2 days. When I bought it, it seemed frozen, but I let it thaw completely on the way home and waited 30 minutes after taking it out of the refrigerator before trying it. The Gâteau Chocolat was quite firm and hard to cut, and the cream was also hard. Maybe it has a lot of chocolate, but it's different from the smooth texture of the truffle chocolates I tried before. Both being firm made it difficult to eat the cake and cream together. The matcha cream and chocolate cake flavors matched well, but it was a bit disappointing. The next day, I tried it again after leaving it out for 1 hour after taking it out of the refrigerator. The cream was still firm. It might be how it's supposed to be, but it was not what I had imagined. Based on the tasting I had, I would recommend the truffle chocolates for their smooth and delicious texture.

Muan An, originating from Kyoto, has opened its first store in Tokyo, located in Ginza. The prices displayed were surprisingly high, reflecting the emphasis on high-quality ingredients and beautiful presentation. I tried the chocolate samples, which were rich and delicious with deep flavors. The matcha flavor was also authentic, made with real ingredients. Despite the high prices, I ended up purchasing their financiers this time. The Yatsuhashi-style Chocolate Financier and Chocolate Financier were priced at 324 yen each, double the price of typical financiers. They were slightly larger than usual. The ingredients included egg whites, butter, sugar, almond powder, flour, syrup, kinako (soybean flour), cornstarch, cinnamon, white chocolate, liquor, baking powder, emulsifier, and flavorings. While I was concerned about the emulsifier and flavorings, the rest of the ingredients seemed harmless. The Yatsuhashi-style financier had a hint of cinnamon and a moist texture, while the chocolate one was also moist. The taste was not outstandingly delicious. Perhaps I should have opted for their chocolate truffles instead. The pricing was too high for what was offered. So far, my favorite place for chocolate truffles is Ken's Cafe near Shinjuku Gyoen Park.

The high-class feel is overflowing. Inside the can is matcha-flavored fresh chocolate, with a brown surface and a vibrant green color inside. It's a beautiful fresh chocolate. It's a bit pricey at over 2000 yen for just a small amount, but the quick melt-in-your-mouth texture is impressive. It would be nice if it were a bit more affordable.

I went exploring in search of delicious snacks at Matsuya Ginza. I tried some samples and was impressed by the rich chocolate flavor and smooth texture. I couldn't decide between the matcha flavor, but ended up buying one of each to taste. I paid in advance for the wagashi and returned in the evening. I tried the black one first, which had a generous amount of powdery coating on the mochi. It was unexpected, but not my favorite combination. The matcha one, on the other hand, was delicious with the sweet mochi. I thought about eating them separately, but decided to try them together on a whim. It turned out to be a great choice, with the matcha complementing the mochi perfectly. Overall, the mochi was chewy and crumbly, making it a delightful snack. The staff at the shop were very polite and helpful. I look forward to visiting again to choose my favorite chocolate.

Ginza's "Munian" in Kyoto is a popular chocolatier in a competitive area, sometimes also sold at Shinjuku Takashimaya. Their famous "Dali K" and rich Earl Grey chocolate set "Chocolat Double Set" are exceptional. Among them, "Munian" located in a hidden alley in Kitashirakawa is my favorite chocolatier. I have been supporting them since they opened. Starting with making chocolates for friends and family, they continue to handcraft their chocolates at home. Now, they have expanded to Ginza, following their Osaka store, and you can easily purchase their chocolates at "Matsuya". I highly recommend their liqueur chocolates, especially the intense experience of "Yuki". Their lemon series, available only in the summer, is also fantastic. I have had the opportunity to taste their new releases at the main store before they were launched, and I truly believe their chocolates are amazing. Although each piece costs around 400-500 yen, once you experience real chocolate, you will realize the difference. For those with a sweet tooth, I highly recommend giving it a try!

The shop name is "Muni," which seems to be a pronunciation of an old Indian word or Sanskrit. The translation is "silence," referring to those who live in the mountains, cultivate their hearts, and follow the path of enlightenment. It is similar to the image of a sage or wise person. In Buddhism, there is Shakyamuni, which is the title of Shakyamuni Buddha. Essentially, it conveys the attitude of isolating oneself from the world and quietly pursuing mastery of a single task. I went to Ginza and visited the newly renovated Matsuya Ginza basement, where I found a shop with a unique black and white design. The shop's name is unreadable, with meanings tied to white and black colors. The shop sells stylish black and white cookies that resemble Othello pieces. I bought some as souvenirs. I also tried a chocolate financier in the style of Hachiwa, which had a strong cinnamon or nutmeg aroma. The sweetness was straightforward and sugary, with a unique blend of flavors that reminded me of both Hachiwa and financier pastries. If you're looking for a new experience, I recommend visiting the revamped Matsuya Ginza and exploring the various shops there.
