\u25a0Brands handled: "Mandrile Melis"
From Turin, the prestigious Turin brand Mandrille Melis, founded in 1986 by Giuseppe Mandrille and Maria Antonietta Melis, will be available for the first time at il bivio!
You can enjoy a wide variety of praline chocolates, totaling 10 varieties, sold individually, including the signature product "Knesi al Rum," which was the inspiration for the company's founding, and "Praline with Barolo," Italy's finest wine.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

"Kunesi Al Rum" is a large chocolate that allows you to enjoy the refreshing aftertaste of rum.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

[Four brands from Sicily!]
This is a rare opportunity to see four brands of Modica chocolate in one place.
Modica chocolate is known as "ancient chocolate," as it is said to have originated from the Aztec Empire and was brought to the small Sicilian town of Modica via Spain.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u25a0Brands handled: "Nakure"
It is still made using a simple, old traditional method from a time when cocoa butter did not yet exist, and its charm lies in the gritty texture of the sugar that remains when the cocoa and sugar are cooked at low temperature.
Modica chocolate not only allows you to enjoy the original taste of cacao, but its crunchy texture has more and more people becoming addicted to it every year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nakure<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The combination of juicy, moist Italian orange peel and crunchy sugar is exquisite.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u25a0Brands handled: "Sfitch Gologi"
The debut of "Sficci Golosi," a mother-son duo, features the Sicilian specialty cactus, which has the sugar content of watermelon and the sticky sweetness of ripe persimmon.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sfitch Goroji<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u25a0Brands handled: "Chomod"
Chomodo, a socially conscious brand that uses rare Sicilian ingredients and advocates for women's rights and symbols through chocolate, is coming to Japan for the first time in three years.
Using the precious cacao of legendary producer Claudio Corallo, who is coveted all over the world, and rare ingredients from Sicily, you can experience chocolate with a deep flavor that will thrill all five senses.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not only is it delicious, but it also has a high level of fashionability that is unique to Italy, with packaging featuring the city of Modica.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u25a0Brands handled: "Casa Don Puglisi"
This brand, produced by a Sicilian social workers' union, is gaining more and more fans in Japan every year.
The chocolate, made with love by local women who are particular about the working conditions of the cacao used, is so delicious that you will never forget it once you have tried it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Casa Don Puglisi<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Casa Don Puglisi, which still uses ancient methods to make its bread, offers an exceptionally crunchy texture made from Sicilian salt and sugar.<\/p>\n

This is a rare collaboration between four Modica chocolate brands in Japan, a rare treat for fans of Modica chocolate! Enjoy a luxurious taste comparison of chocolates from Sicily.
Italian chocolate is delicious, fun, and has a very deep history. We hope that many people will come to Mia Chocolateria, a festival of delicious and fascinating chocolate that can only be found here.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
