Royce’ is a Japanese chocolate that is a must-buy for any chocolate lover. I have had Royce’ Potatochip Chocolates, Pure Chocolates, Bar Chocolates, Baton Cookies, and Amande Chocolates either given by friends or purchased at their branch in Trinoma Mall (I used to live in the area). However, Royce is not something I would buy on a weekly basis because the price is a little steep.
Before we left Japan, Virg and I decided to buy Royce’ Chocolates at Kansai International Airport. I spent almost all of the yen I had left (I set aside some for dinner) on Royce’ Chocolate products. We entered the Royce’ Chocolate shop just before we found a place to wait for our plane. So I had like 12 kilos of baggage with me distributed in three bags. I came out of the shop with two additional bags. By the time I arrived at a Family Mart branch near the lounge, my shoulders were on the verge of falling off, but I had time to buy a couple more Royce’ chocolate bars. I know what my priorities are.
These Royce’ Chocolate products were handy as Christmas gifts to my friends, Spanish classmates, and officemates. And they bought cheer to the holiday season.
Here are some Royce’ Chocolate products from Japan:
Royce’ Nama Chocolate is a fine, delicate combination of selected chocolate and fresh cream with a hint of prestige liqueurs. Royce’ Nama Chocolate, velvety smooth, melts in your mouth, followed by refined flavors that are simply irresistible. Royce’ Nama Chocolates are so delicate that they have to be stored at 10°C or below and have a shelf life of one month (in the website, but based on the stamped date, it is three months). Each box of 125 grams contains 20 pieces of these heavenly chocolates.
There are five Royce’ Nama Chocolate kinds. Three of them are listed below.
