Royce, the chocolate maestro hailing from Hokkaido and renowned for making the world question what chocolate can’t do, has unveiled its latest innovation: Nama Chocolate Slices. Yes, chocolate slices. Think Kraft singles but fancier and, well, chocolate. Starting today, you can snag these delicate 3-millimeter-thin slabs of chocolate perfection exclusively at Royce Chocolate World in New Chitose Airport [JP].
Here’s the deal. Each slice is a three-layer wonder: a velvety ganache core hugged by sheets of sweet chocolate. It’s engineered to melt gently onto your toast in under a minute, transforming your breakfast into a gooey, bittersweet symphony of flavors. Royce swears the chocolate won’t drip everywhere, meaning you can indulge without looking like you lost a fight with a fondue pot.
While toast is the official match made in cocoa heaven, Royce encourages creative pairings. Sandwich them between pancakes, roll them into crepes or fold them into warm croissants. Just don’t let your cat get to it before you do.
Royce Chocolate World, by the way, isn’t your average chocolate shop. It’s a full-on chocolate playground with a factory, museum, bakery, and over 100 exclusive items to explore. If the slices don’t woo you, perhaps their “Guter,” a bread stuffed with nuts, chocolate paste, and an entire chocolate bar, will.
A pack of five slices will set you back 999 yen (6.65 USD). That’s 200 yen (1.33 USD) per slice, in case you’re wondering, or roughly the cost of momentary bliss on a warm piece of toast. If you’re in the area, drop by and stock up before the rest of the world figures out chocolate slices are a thing.
