Pierre Marcolini's Soft Serve Chocolat is really delicious. It's like they took rich, concentrated chocolate and turned it into soft serve. The intense chocolate flavor spreads throughout your mouth from the first bite, making it a heavenly experience for chocolate lovers. It's quite sweet, but surprisingly has a clean aftertaste. However, both my husband and I aren't big fans of overly sweet soft serve, so I don't think I could finish one on my own. It might be perfect for sharing with someone who enjoys a slightly less sweet treat. The staff at this store is always friendly, which is why I often come here to buy gifts.

Gift. I like the slightly smaller size of Marcolini chocolates ⭐︎ The perfect size and amount when you just want a little something sweet. The monochrome box, shopper, and brochure are creatively unified and lovely. The opening line of the brochure, "Truly delicious things, just a little bit," was really spot on in terms of satisfaction~

I love Pierre Marcolini's chocolates, so I often buy them for Valentine's Day. This year, I saw the new 2023 "Le Cœur Nouveau Series" online, which has a beautiful heart-shaped design on the side, so I decided to get an assortment box centered around this series for my husband's Valentine's Day chocolate. After giving it to him, I had a taste myself and the "Le Cœur Nouveau Series" chocolates were so cute with their beautiful layered hearts on the side. They were all delicious, as expected from Pierre Marcolini. My husband also enjoyed all the new chocolates he tried that day. Here are some of the flavors I tried: - Le Cœur Nouveau Caramel Boule: A praline made with salted butter caramel and Piedmont hazelnuts. The combination of salted butter caramel and hazelnuts was irresistible. - Le Cœur Nouveau Noix de Cajou Fleur de Sel: A praline made with fleur de sel and cashew nuts from Vietnam. The hint of salt and the texture and flavor of cashew nuts made this one delicious. - Le Cœur Nouveau Praliné Pistache: A praline made with fleur de sel and pistachios from Iran. This one is recommended for pistachio lovers due to its strong pistachio flavor. I also bought the adorable Ginger Garden AOYAMA's Three Bear Chocolates that I fell in love with, and my husband was delighted with both gifts.

The macaron shell is soft and moist, not overly chewy or sticky. Just the right balance! I chose chocolate and pistachio flavors. I wished the pistachio had a stronger aroma, but the chocolate was excellent with a bitter taste and authentic scent.

Soft serve ice cream made with Marcolini's couverture chocolate. With just one bite, you can taste the rich cocoa aroma and flavor. However, it is smooth and not too heavy, making it easy to finish. It seems to be a limited-time offer, but I was lucky to have a Cool Framboise chocolate on top! It was a great break during my shopping trip. ✨

Rich and mellow soft serve ice cream. It's completely different from the chocolate soft serve at the nearby Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse. Next time, I want to try the chocolate soft serve at Le Chocolat de H in the same building. I wonder if it's worth the 500 yen for chocolate on top. However, I still think that Mini Stop's Belgian chocolate soft serve is amazing. By the way, my number one chocolate soft serve ranking goes to Bel Amel Kioicho store.

It is the well-known chocolate shop Pierre Marcolini. I happened to see cakes being sold, and they had a rich and slightly bitter taste. It's not a chocolate cake for children, but rather a cake for adults. I see, it's a Shibuya store exclusive with chocolate lettering.

I went to Pierre Marcolini in Shibuya Hikarie, Tokyo. This time, I bought a set of baked sweets. The set includes a chocolate cake, 5 pieces, 2 duck wafers, and 2 Sablé Chocola with bitter chocolate. The chocolate cake is dense and not sponge-like. The duck wafers have a sugary outer layer with chocolate inside. The Sablé Chocola with bitter chocolate has a thick layer of bitter chocolate inside a chocolate sablé. As it is a famous store, the taste was impeccable.

It's White Day for my wife and daughter. Chocolate these days is so expensive! There are so many different kinds of high-end chocolates from overseas that you can try in Tokyo. Every year, I struggle with which one to choose. I got a box with 16 different chocolates, and each one was delicious.

Valentine's Selection 6-piece set for 2,268 yen A selection of classic Marcolini products packed with flavors that never get old. My favorite is the Earl Grey, which is delicious no matter how many times I eat it. The Animo Caramel Milk Chocolate contains "Fleur de Sel" (salt flower) and caramel sauce. The Cool Citron Vert White Chocolate has a lime-scented white ganache filling. Pierre Marcolini Grand Cru features a carefully selected blend of cocoa in a bitter ganache. The Cool Framboises White Chocolate has a bitter ganache scented with raspberries. The Escargot White Chocolate has a caramel sauce filling. The Tele Milk Chocolate has a milk ganache scented with Earl Grey tea.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of landing in Japan, there is a special package available. It includes 10 pieces of individually sold chocolates for ¥2160! These chocolates from a very famous chocolatier are delicious. Originally scheduled to end sales at the end of June, they have extended the sale due to its popularity. If you shop over ¥5400 at the Hikarie store now, you will receive a lovely cooler bag. I will definitely go buy some more! I also want to try the limited edition cake at Hikarie.

Pierre Marcolini / Marcolini Soft Chocolate ¥540 Before, Marcolini's soft serve ice cream was a traumatic experience when a staff member sneezed while making it. But trying it again after a long time, the chocolate was rich, not just intense but with a smooth and velvety texture like raw chocolate. It had a mild cocoa-like mellowness, without any noticeable sourness or bitterness, making it an easy-to-eat, simple soft serve ice cream.

Next to a display of chocolates, there is a take-out booth. I ordered a chocolate soft serve. The rich bitterness of the chocolate and the sweetness of the soft serve matched perfectly. I finished it in no time.

I am more of a fan of French-style, Evan-style, or bitter chocolate, so I don't really like Belgian chocolate because it's too sweet. But, I decided to try something different and came to Pierre Marcolini this time. I purchased a set of chocolates which included: Grand Cru, The Re, Escargot, Animo, Cool Framboise, and Verbena Strawberry. The set of 6 chocolates cost around 2500 yen. The Escargot was too sweet for me as it was white chocolate with caramel inside. It follows the common Belgian chocolate rule of "sweet x sweet = very sweet." The Grand Cru was a bitter and elegant chocolate. It felt slightly thicker in coating compared to Jean-Paul Hevin. The Animo had a milk chocolate shell with a salted caramel sauce oozing out. The combination of sweetness and saltiness was nice but still too sweet for my taste. The Re had a milk chocolate with an Earl Grey tea flavor milk ganache inside. The strong artificial scent of Earl Grey was not to my liking. The Cool Framboise was lovely, with white chocolate and a raspberry-flavored bitter ganache that balanced the sweetness with a hint of sourness. The Verbena Strawberry was also delightful with a white ganache infused with verbena, giving a vibrant aroma. The flowing strawberry compote was also lovely. Overall, I found Pierre Marcolini's chocolates to be popular for a reason. They are milky, sweet, and have a delicious taste that brings a sense of calm.

I came to the store to purchase for White Day. I bought 2018 Valentine's Day Cool 7P with 7 chocolates in a heart-shaped container for 2750 yen, and 2018 Valentine's Day 6P with 6 chocolates in a rectangular box for 2200 yen. The receipt mentioned "VT" which I assume stands for Valentine's Day. Now in April, as I browse Pierre Marcolini's website, I see chocolates for Mother's Day overflowing. The containers are the same as Valentine's Day, but they are labeled for Mother's Day. It seems they change the labeling according to each event.

A while ago, I went to Shibuya and did some shopping at Hikarie. I only bought some chocolate though (lol). One of the places I visited was Pierre Marcolini Shibuya Hikarie, located on the B2F of Hikarie. I bought some chocolate as a snack to enjoy while watching a Blu-ray I purchased. By the way, the Blu-ray I bought was La La Land (a musical) and I've watched it about 6 times already. I love the interactions between Mia and Sebastian (lol). I am a man, and as you may know from my reviews, I really like sweet things. But I also like spicy things. Basically, I just like delicious food (lol). Among chocolates, I like Neuhaus (I wonder if all the Neuhaus stores in Japan have closed down?) and Pierre Marcolini. Pierre Marcolini was born in Belgium in 1964 and became independent as a chocolatier in 1994. In 2015, he was granted the title of purveyor to the Belgian royal court. His specialty is his dedication to cacao. While most chocolatiers buy liquid or solid chocolate from manufacturers and then flavor or shape it, Marcolini is involved in every step from sourcing, selecting, blending, roasting, and refining cacao beans himself. You can read more about it on his website if you're interested. As for what I bought, I got Cool Framboise, Cool Pistache, and Escargot. I didn't check the prices, but I think they were around 300 yen each. Marcolini also sells chocolates in fancy packaging boxes, but the loose ones are good enough for personal consumption. Cool Framboise has a bitter ganache flavored with raspberry inside white chocolate. The vivid red heart shape is uplifting (lol). The sweet and sour taste of raspberry is impressive. Cool Pistache has pistachio praline inside chocolate. Praline is nuts roasted and mixed with caramelized sugar. You can feel the earthy flavor of pistachio, which is nice. Delicious. Finally, Escargot is white chocolate with caramel sauce in the shape of a snail. The caramel sauce is gooey and tasty. This one is also delicious. The staff packed the loose chocolates I bought in a simple box. Valentine's Day is coming soon, and I'm sure the chocolate section in department stores will be a battlefield (lol). Well, there might also be a conspiracy by chocolate manufacturers, but why not enjoy Valentine's Day with some chocolates? Thank you for the meal.

At this time of year, I thought there would be a lot of people, but it wasn't as crowded as I expected. It's still expensive, right? But it doesn't matter to me, so I decided to try the soft serve ice cream for 500 yen. It's quite pricey, but as long as it's delicious, it's not a problem. My honest impression is that it's rich and tasty, but somehow feels lacking. I guess that's the quality of this place. It's disappointing to realize that high-end stores just aren't for me. I'll stick to the ice cream shop's ice cream. Maybe chocolate ice cream just doesn't suit me. Which is it?

A rich and slightly bitter sweetness typical of a chocolate brand! The taste is guaranteed with this brand, and to top it off, you get a red heart-shaped chocolate for just around 500 yen! It's actually quite cheap. After eating, you may feel a dry richness in your throat.

I received it. You can enjoy various tastes. Especially the chocolate with caramel sauce was delicious.

Dark chocolate soft serve ice cream that chocolate lovers will absolutely adore. Delicious!
