In September 2023, I received a gift from a friend who waited in line for a long time at a tent in Osaka. They bought me a special "Plain Chocolate" from Goncharoff at the Hankyu Umeda Main Store to celebrate the Tigers' victory. The chocolate came in a box shaped like the Tigers' uniform and was a thoughtful souvenir. I found it a bit surprising that it wasn't Marronglacé, as Goncharoff is known for that. Nevertheless, I enjoyed both the sweet and milk plain chocolates. I finished them quickly, but I still prefer Marronglacé. Thank you for the treat!

I visited Goncharoff at Hankyu Department Store in Osaka Umeda to celebrate the recent victory of the Hanshin Tigers. I bought the Tigers V Chocolate in a T-shirt-shaped box for ¥1,080. The milk chocolate was unexpectedly bitter, while the sweet chocolate was deliciously sweet. I also took a photo of the Hankyu Department Store building and the panel celebrating the Tigers' victory. Overall, I enjoyed the rare packaging of Goncharoff's chocolates.

After the Hanshin Tigers won, I went to the chocolate company to celebrate, but they were sold out. So, I went to the Hanshin Department Store for the championship bargain sale. There wasn't much left, but I managed to get Goncharoff's chocolate. I waited in line for about 30 minutes for it, as it was a special occasion. The taste was the same as always, just like Goncharoff's.

I occasionally buy this assortment set from Goncharoff because I want to eat a lot. I limit myself to two pieces a day, so I can enjoy it for a while even on days when I don't eat them. Each flavor is different, so I never get tired of it. I also like expensive truffle chocolates and chocolates from overseas, but I also like the nostalgic Goncharoff chocolates.

This is a store located in Hankyu Department Store Umeda Main Store in Osaka, Osaka Prefecture. Today's snack is Goncharoff Leaf Tea Garden, which offers chocolates themed around tea such as matcha and hojicha. The chocolates are shaped like teapots and teacups, and they taste delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I received Goncharoff's chocolate - Animal Chocola - as a gift. When you open the pink box with animal designs, you will see the adorable faces of animals lined up. The first reaction is not "Looks delicious!" but "How cute!" This chocolate is just so cute. - The cream-colored seal with a cute mustache is salted vanilla chocolate cream flavor. - The chick with a deep yellow crest like an egg yolk is mango chocolate cream flavor. - The pink rabbit with a cute red tongue and ears is strawberry chocolate cream flavor. - The brown monkey with cute forehead wrinkles is caramel chocolate cream flavor. - The penguin with a white face on a brown pattern and a yellow beak is sweet chocolate cream flavor. - The yellow tiger with cute brown stripes is espresso chocolate cream flavor. - The green elephant with cute big ears is hazelnut chocolate cream flavor. - The white pig with a pink nose that makes you want to take a bite is maple chocolate cream flavor. These colorful animals are not only cute to look at, but also delicious to eat - high-quality chocolate confectionery. They are so cute that I had a hard time eating them and ended up storing them in the refrigerator haha. Thank you for the treat!

This is a Valentine's Day gift from a young colleague, who is actually more like a "desk neighbor" to me. She has only been with the company for 3 years and is so young that she is almost the same age as my daughter. It's heartwarming to see such a kind gesture from a wonderful young woman, who is nothing like my own daughter. The gift is a round can with a simple name, "Marukan" in red color with a cute cat illustration. Inside are 6 bite-sized chocolates in different flavors like truffle (strawberry), fan marble (mandarin orange and white chocolate), taiyaki chocolate (sesame and kinako flavors), apricot jelly (chocolate-covered), and mochi flower (cacao flavor). The can reminds me of the cod liver oil cans from my childhood. Regardless of the reason for the gift, I am truly grateful and enjoyed these delicious chocolates. It's the little things in life that bring happiness, like being cared for by someone. Thank you so much!

♡February 22nd♡ Today is Nyannyan Nyaaan Day p(≧▽≦)q, which is Cat Day♪ For me, February 2nd is also Cat Day(ΦωΦ)v I bought this on Valentine's Day. On that day, I was finally released from my busy work and had a rare day off, so I invited a friend to Umeda♪ As a reward for myself (;ω;) I wanted to buy chocolate, but no one praised me, so I have to praise myself!! (=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ There seemed to be more cat-themed chocolates, but surprisingly there were more teddy bear and terrier dog ones in the shop (´・ω・`) There were many types of cat-themed items in the shop, so after much deliberation, I purchased the following: ◎ Antique Kitty B ◎ 500 yen Unexpectedly, a cute bag came with it, which made me happy♪ I have been treasuring it until today, but it was devoured in just a few minutes(ΦωΦ)v It had a chestnut flavor, a hint of nuts, and even a very simple taste that I enjoyed♪ In this case, I wonder if I should give myself a return gift for White Day (￣▽￣) It might be another excuse to buy more♪

Now, at Hankyu Department Store in Umeda, it's time for a dessert adventure! Let's dive into the crowd and head to Goncharoff. They have a display of delicious and refreshing-looking puddings. While they may be meant for gifts, you can also casually buy just one. I decided on the mango pudding for 270 yen. It comes with coconut sauce and mango puree, which complement each other perfectly. Despite the seemingly high price, it's worth it. The aroma is also delightful. Thank you for the feast! July 2015. - nankaihawks1's gourmet guide.

I received a gift from my friend who loves to eat out, N-chan. People who are sensitive to food always seem to find impressive things. This time, it was Goncharoff's Animal Chocolates. Goncharoff is a well-known confectionery company that was established in Kobe in 1923. They are known for creating the first bonbon chocolates in Japan. The paper bag I received had Goncharoff's Animal Chocolates written on it. When I opened it, I found cute animal-shaped chocolates like a chick, a tiger, and a pig. They were all delicious and had different flavors. The tiger-shaped chocolate even had a baseball cap and whiskers, resembling the mascot of the Hanshin Tigers baseball team. They were so cute that I almost didn't want to eat them, but they were too delicious to resist. I was surprised by the creativity and taste of these chocolates. Thank you to my friend for this wonderful gift!

First visit in February 2014, it's Auru♪ Since the chocolate introduction of FOUCHER's "Olympus" was well received last time, here's the second installment! ● Cats! Cat! Chocolate! This time, I will review the "Glass Cats" series from Goncharoff, known for their adorable characters. The box features a big pink cat face (´▽｀＊). ・Glass Cats A ¥525 - Contains 4 assorted chocolates. 3 pieces are individually wrapped, but 1 piece is the same as the character depicted on the box, giving it a special touch. These fashionable cats make an appearance only during this Valentine's season. Each character comes with detailed explanations and settings, like who is dating whom (lol). I also bought one for myself to try. It's almost a shame to eat them because of how cute they are♪ With their appearance, these chocolates are sure to leave a lasting impression. They are great to gift to cat lovers or those who appreciate a bit of style. They also make a lovely gift for female friends during Valentine's. If you don't mind the box, there is also an 8-piece set for ¥630. I purchased these at Hankyu Department Store in Umeda, but they are also available at other department stores, so I hope this information is helpful. Adding color to food. Adding color to life. Adding color to life. Thank you for the meal♪//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Store Name: "Goncharoff Hankyu Department Store Umeda Main Store"☆For other reviews, click [here]♪☆★Visit the "Eating Memories" blog [here]♪★

I am a fan of the Hanshin Tigers. 1985 was a great year, but who would have thought the next championship would come in the 21st century. Even in 2003 under Hoshino's Tigers, we missed out on being champions but those were happy days. However, what followed was frustrating. Especially in 2008, losing a 13-game lead was a huge shock. I feel like managers who are former Tigers players tend to be too lenient. This year's Tigers under Wada always seem to lose important games, showing a lack of competitiveness. I think we need some fresh blood from outside, but it's hard to change that culture. Ah, I ended up just complaining. Now, onto the main topic, here we have the Hanshin Tigers plain chocolate. A friend who moved from the Kansai region gave it to me. It comes in a can with Tigers designs that fans will love. There are 20 pieces in total, weighing 90g. The taste is moderately sweet, like traditional Japanese chocolate, but Tigers fans will love it. After finishing it, you can use the can as a pen holder. Now, about the Hanshin Tigers. They have been showing even more weakness in September... they lost again tonight. Even if they finish second in the league, it seems impossible for them to survive in the climax.

I received Valentine's chocolates at work! It's always a bit awkward when us girls are giving out chocolates but also receiving them. Of course, I'll be enjoying the chocolates I received in the break room. I also gave some chocolates to a senior colleague who has been very helpful to me. I got a box of Goncharoff chocolates with 60 pieces for 1575 yen, and they are delicious. The chocolates are very reasonably priced and perfect for sharing. Goncharoff chocolates can be found at the Valentine's special event at Hankyu and Hanshin department stores, and the display is really cute. I saw on TV that a former Goncharoff product development pastry chef opened her own chocolate shop near Kwansei Gakuin University and became a popular local spot in less than a year. It was featured on "Yume no Katachi." I'm happy to be able to enjoy Goncharoff chocolates. Just wanted to share this for your reference.

I received this Western confectionery as a souvenir on January 17, 2013. This is my first time trying this particular sweet. It was founded in 1923 by Mr. Makarov Goncharov, making it older than other confectionery shops with a 90-year history. The Corbeille cookie is their signature product, described as a rolled cookie with added chocolate. It features almond-flavored tuile and buttery langues de chat dough, filled with almond milk chocolate and white chocolate. The texture is crunchy with chocolate inside, and it tastes delicious. It's different from Yoku Moku cigars but equally enjoyable. The price is reasonable, making it a good option for gifts. I would like to try their chocolates in the future. Thank you for the treat!

The name of the store is Goncharov. I have no idea what language it is, but the sound of the word is strong and powerful, and I don't dislike it. I got some chocolates from a customer who came from Kobe, and I became completely addicted to the deliciousness here. If I were to receive a souvenir, I would be most happy to receive the chocolates from here. There are many chocolates with similar appearances on the market, but you can't find the same taste. So I purchased the Rose Decol (14 pieces) for 1,050 yen as a gift. The chocolates are arranged like jewels in a cute pink box. I hope you can take your time to enjoy looking at them before eating. If I were a man, I would be happy to receive this kind of chocolate for Valentine's Day...

Goncharov's name is not familiar even though I know it. I wonder why it's missing. It's a little gift. It comes in a cute package with a ribbon. It reminds me of Morozoff. My mother buys this series of Western-style sweets for the family. Cookie assortment with two flavors: vanilla and chocolate (individually wrapped). They are bite-sized and delicious. I keep eating them one after another. Perfect for an afternoon coffee break, just the right size for tea snacks. ◎

I received Goncharoff's chocolates for Christmas! Hooray! Merry Christmas! The chocolates come in a cute tin with plenty inside. I've already had a few pieces, but here's a photo of the chocolates. Goncharoff's chocolates are delicious. I can't stop eating them. And these tins are too cute to throw away. They just keep piling up. But that's part of the fun too. The paper bag that holds the tin is also adorable! I can't throw that away either. So, my room keeps accumulating all these things. Thank you for the gifts as always! Winter 2019.

I received an Animal Chocolate with pig, monkey, elephant, and tiger shapes ♡ The animals are round and cute in chocolate form!! Just looking at them makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside~ღ❤ღ´ｪ`*) They are so adorable that it feels like a waste to eat them, but before I knew it, they were all gone~ (sweat) The flavors were... pig: maple cream chocolate, monkey: caramel cream chocolate, elephant: hazelnut chocolate, tiger: espresso chocolate cream. Each one was made with love by skilled artisans, and they are apparently limited edition products available only from February to March. If you miss this season, you'll have to wait until next year. Thank you for this precious treat. It was delicious~｡♥｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡♥｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡♥｡

Received as a return gift for the New Year from my son's wife's family. It's a well-known luxury chocolate shop originating from Kobe. I often receive their products as gifts. The box of Eminence chocolates looked like a jewel box. It mainly consists of milk chocolate. I also received 8 Corbeille (tube-shaped baked sweets), with two white chocolate and milk chocolate. The white chocolate had almond chips on the surface, giving it a nice texture and taste. The milk chocolate was moist and elegant. Delicious as always with products from a long-established shop! I thought this set for 2100 yen (including tax) was cheap.
