Indulge in Sweet Surprises and Whimsical Designs This Holiday Season
CAFE OHZAN, a name synonymous with exquisitely crafted croissant rusks, is bringing a sprinkle of holiday cheer to major cities across Japan. Starting December 1, 2025, the brand will open a series of limited-time pop-up stores in Tokyo, Hyogo, and Fukuoka, showcasing an exclusive collection of Christmas-themed chocolate rusks and festive gift packages. These temporary locations offer a unique opportunity to discover sweet surprises perfect for holiday gifting or personal indulgence.
Each year, CAFE OHZAN captures the spirit of Christmas with its special edition chocolate rusks. These treats are not just delicious; they are miniature works of art, adorned with vibrant decorations and presented in charming festive packaging. Such attention to detail makes them a popular choice for Christmas gifts and year-end presents, reflecting the Japanese tradition of thoughtful gift-giving, where presentation is as important as the gift itself.
The 2025 Christmas collection features five distinct limited-edition items, each designed to evoke the joy and wonder of the season.
Featured Christmas Limited Editions
Christmas Calendar Cube Rusk (24 pieces)
Imagine a daily dose of delight leading up to Christmas! This advent calendar features 24 small boxes, each containing a unique cube rusk. The packaging itself tells a charming story of a Christmas circus led by Santa Claus. As you slide open the outer sleeve, a gatefold reveals 24 individual boxes. A playful twist allows each box to reveal a new illustration when turned, offering a fresh visual treat every day.
The rusks within are equally diverse, featuring 24 different designs and flavors. Crafted from fine-textured rusk coated in premium Belgian chocolate, varieties include milk, white, bitter, caramel, strawberry, and matcha. Toppings range from festive icons like Santa Claus, snowmen, gingerbread men, and teddy bears to fresh fruits, nuts, and chocolate crunch. Each piece is meticulously hand-decorated, ensuring a delightful visual and taste experience. This calendar promises a delightful 24-day journey of discovery.
