Swiss chocolate brand Lindt has held a strong reputation for many years. From Saturday 1st June to Sunday 1st September, Lindt is going to celebrate summer with the opening of the summer-limited Summer Chocolate Festival to be held at the Lindt Chocolate Cafe.
Lindt has combined chocolate with summer fruits to create three different treats; Lindt Soft Cream Chocolate, Lindt Ice Chocolate Drink and Lindt Chocolate Parfait. A new base flavour will be used for each month. The chosen flavour will reflect the flavours of that month. From 1st June, the flavour will be cherry. From July, it will be lemon, and tropical will be the base flavour for August!
The ice cream that will be used to make these treats is the Lint Soft Cream Chocolate, which is made using a generous amount of high-grade chocolate. The cafe’s chocolate ice creams are extremely popular and are a perfect match with the premium chocolate waffle cone, which is made using 70% cacao dark chocolate sourced from Lindt’s provider in Ecuador. The summer-limited Lindt Soft Cream Chocolate will be the cafe’s first ever white chocolate fruit-flavoured soft serve ice cream.
Lindt soft cream chocolate: cherry/ lemon/ tropical ¥699 (price including tax)
Indulge in the smooth, melt-in-the-mouth, rich, juicy fruit and chocolate soft cream. Amongst Lindt’s milky, mild and sweet white chocolate, you will discover a luxurious fruity puree that will catch you off guard. The two are blended perfectly, and the strong fruity flavour is the perfect accent for the milk chocolate. Come enjoy this dual flavour!
Lindt ice chocolate drink: Cherry/ lemon/ tropical ¥772 Ginza branch price: ¥,1388 (prices include tax)
This ice chocolate drink includes fresh fruity pieces that spread throughout the drink, leaving you refreshed with every mouthful. The mild Lindt white chocolate and strong fruity flavour work together in harmony, balancing out to create a divine flavour. Each cup is carefully decorated with the pattern of fruity chocolate spilling over the cup and crunchy-textured chocolate. From the flavour to its presentation, this cup is overflowing with enjoyment! This is a combination of refreshing cool frozen fruitiness and light and rejuvenating whipped cream. What a perfect dessert!
Lindt chocolate parfait: cherry/ lemon/ tropical ¥980 Ginza branch price: ¥1,780 (prices include tax)
A rich fruity flavour served up with soft serve chocolate ice cream and topped generously with frozen fruit and fruit sauce to create one very fruity parfait! Starting from the strong yet sweet fruity flavour, you will soon arrive at the accented milk chocolate soft cream, followed by the rich chocolate sauce. Enjoy the harmonious interweaving flavours between the layers of chocolate! Chocolate copo, macaron cakes, almond nougatine and crispy almond croustillant will add texture to your dessert!
Lindt Délice: Cherry/ lemon/ tropical ¥302 (price including tax)
A crispy shell filled with melt-in-the-mouth fruity ganache. Lindt white chocolate is infused with fruit puree for a strong, sweet fruity flavour that you can enjoy as a light treat. The vibrant vitamin colours are perfect for those summer vibes! This would make for the perfect gift!
These desserts just look so gorgeous! This is how you celebrate summer!

Since being founded in 1845, Lindt has carried its reputation as a Swiss brand of chocolate throughout the centuries, capturing the hearts of chocoholics in over 120 countries across the world. Lindt will be releasing a brand new chocolate drink on December 1, 2019 across Japan. The chocolate drink will be available in hot and cold and is made using an irresistible Gianduia chocolate hazelnut spread.
Both the hot and cold versions of the drink contain Lindt's signature melt-in-the-mouth milk chocolate which is mixed with luxurious hazelnut praline paste. The praline paste is made from roasted hazelnuts fused into delicious caramel. Once the aroma of both roasted hazelnuts and caramel entices you to take a sip, the rich flavour will spread through your mouth and you won't be able to stop. The drinks are topped with a fluffy chocolate and whipped cream combination and chocolate flakes which add a wonderful texture. The finishing touches on the drink consist of a drizzle of hazelnut praline sauce and a sprinkle of chopped hazelnuts. The wavy water pattern that can be seen decorating the iced chocolate drink can be mixed into the drink and enjoyed. If you're looking for a quick chocolatey refresh, the iced chocolate drink is perfect for you. For those of you who succumb to the winter chills, the hot chocolate drink will warm you up right away. Once the fragrance of these drinks reaches your nose, no chocoholic will be able to resist. Information

Premium chocolate brand Lindt is releasing six new mocha beverages on November 1 at Lindt Chocolat Cafe branches across Japan (excluding Lumine Tachikawa). The line-up includes white, milk and dark varieties of their new "Lindt Iced Chocolate Drink Mocha" and "Lindt Hot Chocolate Drink Mocha."
From these two new drinks customers will pick between their favourite kind of chocolate―white, milk or dark―after which their coffee chocolate beverage will be prepared with love and care with a fresh shot of aromatic espresso. The coffee beans used for these mocha delights were carefully chosen by the cafe chain to ensure they enjoy a harmonious combination with the espresso, resulting in a velvety sweetness from the chocolate and rich, full-bodied fragrance from the coffee. Choose between hot or iced depending on how you feel that day. The iced mochas have a refreshing aftertaste while the hot mocha leaves smooth lingering sweetness in your mouth while also relaxing and warming you up. Each drink is topped with a light and fluffy mousse and is drizzled in a rich mocha sauce before chocolate nibs and crunchy hazelnuts are thrown on top for texture. Whichever you order, it will be like a dessert in a cup: filling and satisfying. If you're near a Lindt Chocolat Cafe while in Japan from November 1, be sure to pop in. Information

Häagen-Dazs Japan is releasing the matcha-flavoured crispy sandwich ice cream Green Tea Crème brûlée and a Japanese tea-flavoured latte ice cream in a mini cup called Hojicha latte. These two new ice cream flavours will be released on Tuesday 21st May countrywide at the same time for a limited period.
Green Tea Crème brûlée crispy sandwich ice cream (for a limited time only ) ¥272 (RRP before tax)
The matcha crème brûlée made from matcha custard and caramel is the perfect flavour combination. This is encased in two crispy wafers. The rich aroma of matcha and the high quality sweetness is complemented with the creamy custard of the crème brûlée and provides a rich flavour for you to enjoy. A generous amount of caramel powder is used to create a deep-flavoured crème brûlée caramel. After biting through the crispy, fragrant wafer you will reach the subtle bitter flavour of the caramel.Mini Cup Hojicha latte (for a limited time only ) ¥272 (RRP before tax)
Two types of hojicha tea latte swirl together with a maple finish. You can enjoy the real taste of tea leaves and their delicious aromatic flavour. This ice cream became very popular when it was sold in 2017. It was made using leaves from the first pick of the tea season. These leaves are less bitter and less acidic, so you can enjoy the elegance of the tea along with the luxurious flavour of the milk. Both of these combined create an exquisite flavour. The temperature of the water in which the tea is brewed and the time it is brewed for has been carefully managed to produce a clear, refreshing aftertaste whilst maintaining the highly aromatic hojicha fragrance.Indulge in these two exquisite Häagen-Dazs ice creams filled with carefully balanced flavours.
