The sake in the chocolate comes from the Masuizumi brewery. According to Rocket News, it was chosen from a list of 100 Japanese breweries to provide the chocolate’s crucial ingredient.
Nestle Japan describes the taste as elegant, with the sake complementing the sweetness of the white chocolate. In addition, the chocolates will also contain an enticing sake aroma.
