Doré’s Beloved Peanut-Chocolate Sundae Returns to Hankyu Umeda for a Limited Time

Osaka’s Hankyu Umeda is once again home to a winter delight as Doré, the luxury peanut sweets specialist, reintroduces its highly anticipated “Doré Chocolate Sundae.” This seasonal treat, blending the rich aroma of Yachiyo peanuts with decadent chocolate soft cream, promises a harmonious indulgence for sweet enthusiasts.

The “Doré Chocolate Sundae” made its debut on December 1, 2025, bringing back the beloved combination that garnered significant positive feedback last year. This sundae is crafted to be the perfect companion for the colder months, offering a deep, satisfying chocolate experience. Each spoonful delivers the intense richness of chocolate soft cream, beautifully complemented by the distinct flavor of peanuts sourced from Yachiyo, Chiba Prefecture.

Doré ensures a full peanut experience by not only topping the sundae with peanut dice but also layering peanut paste-infused chocolate sauce throughout. This thoughtful construction guarantees that the robust taste of peanuts is present from the first bite to the last. The smooth, creamy chocolate soft cream finds its ideal partner in these flavorful peanuts, creating a symphony of textures and tastes. To complete the experience, crispy waffle cone pieces are nestled at the bottom, providing a delightful crunch that keeps each bite engaging.

Adding to its luxurious appeal, the sundae is adorned with two of Doré’s popular baked goods: the “Doré Galette Carré” and the “Doré Financier.” These additions elevate the sundae into a substantial and truly special dessert.

The Golden Glow of Doré

The brand name “Doré,” meaning “golden,” reflects the radiant quality of the peanuts it celebrates. The philosophy behind Doré is to craft sweets that capture the “golden” essence of sun-kissed peanuts, transforming every moment into a luxurious experience. This commitment to quality begins with the selection of Japan’s finest peanuts.

Approximately 75% of Japan’s domestic peanuts hail from Chiba Prefecture, with Yachiyo City being the top producer. Doré exclusively uses peanuts from “Mame-dokoro Ikemiya,” a family-run business with three generations of expertise in peanut processing in Yachiyo. Their dedication extends to working with contract farmers, ensuring natural drying methods and a preference for shelled peanuts to preserve their rich aroma, depth of flavor, sweetness, and satisfying texture. This meticulous process guarantees that the natural deliciousness of domestic peanuts is perfectly encapsulated in every Doré confection.
