Marunouchi Valentine Market 2026: A Celebration of Sweetness and Sustainability
Tokyo’s sophisticated Marunouchi district is set to blossom into a haven for sweet lovers with the MARUNOUCHI Valentine Market 2026, aptly themed “Sweets meets MARUNOUCHI.” From February 6th to February 14th, the Maru Building 1F Marucube will host a delightful array of 17 confectionery stores, promising a Valentine’s experience that caters to both indulgence and conscious consumption.
This year’s market introduces four exciting new vendors, including ‘GELATO BRAVO Maru Building Store,’ known for its body-friendly gelatos, and ‘divan,’ the Dubai chocolate sensation. These newcomers join established favorites like ‘Chocolatier Palet D’or’ and ‘Pierre Hermé,’ ensuring a diverse and high-quality selection. Beyond the main market, the entire Marunouchi area will be infused with sweet aromas, offering exclusive drinks and unique sweets that encourage a delightful stroll through the city.
Indulgent Treats and Sustainable Innovations
The market is not just about lavish treats; it also shines a spotlight on “SWEETS and SDGs,” showcasing the sustainable efforts of participating stores through special exhibition panels. For instance, ‘Cacao Sampaka’ not only ensures fair trade with cacao farmers but has also funded the construction of a school in Côte d’Ivoire, supporting education and literacy rates while improving cacao quality. ‘Tachikane Canelé MARUNOUCHI’ actively reduces food waste by utilizing irregular fruits and optimizing production and inventory management. These initiatives offer a glimpse into the lesser-known sustainable side of the confectionery world.
For those seeking a personal reward, the market presents a rich selection of “Gohoubi Sweets,” or self-rewarding treats. ‘Chocolatier Palet D’or’ offers homemade bean-to-bar bonbon chocolates in a special Valentine’s heart-shaped box, featuring coconut gianduja and strawberry chocolate. ‘CACAObroma’ presents cookies crafted by a pharmacist using artisanal chocolate, while ‘ICONIC STAGE marunouchi’ offers cube cakes adorned with pesticide-free edible flowers. These creations promise to delight both the palate and the spirit.
Exclusive Experiences and Collaborations
Visitors to the market can also participate in the “Marunouchi Sweets Lottery” from February 6th to 10th. The first 100 customers each day who spend 2,000 JPY (tax included, receipts can be combined) at the “MARUNOUCHI Valentine Market 2026” can present their receipts at the Maru Building 1F Marucube special counter for a chance to win Marunouchi Point app coupons usable at eligible stores in the area. This adds an extra layer of excitement to the sweet hunt.
The “MARUNOUCHI SWEETS MAP” guides visitors to exclusive items beyond the main venue. For example, ‘dari K’ at Marunouchi Oazo 1F offers a new gelato topped with Kiyomi oranges, where customers can add cacao mass themselves for a personalized touch. ‘Shizuka Confectionery Natural Sweets Research Institute Marunouchi Store’ at Shin-Kokusai Building 1F features natural biscuits made with sustainable ingredients, showcasing the unique offerings available only in Marunouchi.
A special collaboration with UCC introduces the “1CHOCOLATE & 1DRIP” trial coffee shop at Marunouchi Happ.Stand & Gallery from February 6th to 14th. This limited-time menu offers exquisite coffee and sweet pairings, allowing guests to sample chocolates, cookies, and canelés from six participating brands alongside UCC’s carefully selected drip coffees. Eight different coffee mariages are available, each designed to enhance the flavors of the sweets, offering a fresh perspective on Valentine’s enjoyment. One visitor, anticipating the event, shared, “I can’t wait to explore all the unique flavors and find the perfect treat for myself and my loved ones. The sustainable aspect makes it even more appealing!”
