The Chocolat Marche will be held at the 8th floor event space of Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro Main Branch from Tuesday, January 28th to Friday, February 14th, 2025.
This year's theme is "In love with chocolate," and 96 brands, including 22 first-time exhibitors, will gather together, the largest number ever. In recent years, the trend of "looking for a treat for yourself" and "finding something you like that matches your hobbies and preferences" is expected to continue, so reward chocolates from famous chocolatiers will be available. Also, with the price of cacao soaring, chocolate-related sweets are also attracting attention!
We also offer a wide range of "eat-in" sweets that you can enjoy on the spot, as well as "chocolate sweets" such as canelés.
