These melt-in-the-mouth chocolates are the best in Hokkaido. Manufactured by the Japanese company Royce, Nama chocolate is one of the best chocolates in the world. The company itself was formed in 1983 with humble beginnings. However, it slowly carved its niche in the Asian markets and became one of the best chocolate manufacturing companies in the world. Subsequent years saw Royce opening several stores in most parts of the world with brands such as Potato Chip Chocolate, Petite Truffe, Madeleine, Royce’ Pure Chocolate and Royce’ Chocolate Bars.
The word nama means ‘fresh’ in Japanese, that’s what these chocolates are. Fresh and simply heavenly, it is made from fresh cream and chocolate. The recipe is a traditional Swiss chocolate recipe; however, Royce has given it a completely different taste and look, using some high quality, amazing ingredients. The main ingredient of nama chocolate is cream, where 25% of the chocolate is made of cream about 15% being water. Nama chocolate needs to be refrigerated immediately, all because its fresh and refrigeration keeps its freshness and taste intact for your pleasure.
The looks aren’t very impressive as they are plain and powdery, making you wonder what the fuss is all about. However, the taste itself is pure bliss and would invoke poetry even if you aren’t a poet! With a normal chocolate you need to wait for your senses to feel the taste of cocoa, where the very first taste you get is that of sugar. Nama chocolate is blessed with a strong and bitter taste of cocoa, which coats your tongue in the very first touch. This is followed by taste of fresh cream and chocolate that simply dissolves in your mouth, making you forget all the chocolates you have ever had.
Nama chocolate is wrapped in a bag made from aluminum. Along with this, dry ice is provided so that the chocolate remains fresh, ready to eat, whether you want to present it to someone or simply share it with your family and friends. Apart from this, the box also contains a small knife to release the chocolate bar. The chocolate again is wrapped with plastic. Well, after so many layers to open the nama chocolate inside is absolutely divine. The chocolate pieces are arranged in rows and columns, sprinkled with a touch of cocoa powder for preventing them from sticking together or to the plastic wrapper. Remember the chocolate bars that stick to the wrapper, not a problem with nama chocolate.
Nama chocolate is available in five flavors; these are Milk Chocolate, Champagne, with just a touch of alcoholic taste, Bitter Cocoa, Mild Cocoa and Au Lait. However, seasonal specialties are limited, and one needs to be really quick to grab some, lest they run out of stock. Though there are several flavors in nama, chocolate has always been associated with cocoa, which is the best flavor, especially if you are a chocolate lover. Well, what are you waiting for? Grab some to have some great velvety chocolate to hypnotize your senses.
