A Sweet Valentine’s Rendezvous: Strawberry choco Arrives in Koshigaya
For those seeking the pinnacle of Valentine’s indulgence, a unique culinary experience awaits. “Strawberry choco,” a specialty store originating from Harajuku, is set to captivate dessert lovers with a limited-time pop-up at Daikanyama Candyapple’s Aeon Lake Town kaze location in Koshigaya. From February 5th to February 28th, 2026, visitors can savor the ultimate strawberry sweets, crafted with the highest quality ingredients and meticulous attention to detail.

The Genesis of Strawberry Choco: From Apple to Berry
“Strawberry choco” emerges from the same visionary team behind “Candy apple,” a renowned authentic candied apple specialty store boasting 30 locations nationwide. Driven by the philosophy of “sharing Japan’s highest quality fruits with the world,” this venture marks Japan’s first dedicated strawberry chocolate specialty shop. Its offerings have already garnered significant buzz, particularly on social media, where related videos have collectively surpassed 50 million views, showcasing its overwhelming popularity.

A Symphony of Flavor: The Craftsmanship Behind Each Sweet
The allure of “Strawberry choco” lies in its unwavering commitment to quality. Leveraging the unique procurement expertise cultivated by “Candy apple,” only the finest seasonal strawberries are sourced directly from markets daily. These vibrant, fresh berries are meticulously selected to perfectly complement the sweetness of the chocolate.
For this special event at Aeon Lake Town, the chocolate component has been elevated. Premium couverture chocolate, favored by leading patissiers, is employed to enhance the inherent charm of the strawberries. This choice ensures a luxurious mouthfeel and an exquisite sheen that delights both the palate and the eye. Furthermore, a dedicated chocolate warmer, imported from Italy, maintains precise temperature control, guaranteeing that the chocolate melts smoothly the moment it touches your tongue.
During this limited engagement at Aeon Lake Town kaze, the most popular dark chocolate flavor will be exclusively available. This particular offering promises a rich, deep chocolate experience that perfectly balances the sweetness and tang of the fresh strawberries.
