Max Brenner Hot chocolate

Max Brenner’s signature hot chocolate (¥550) is an artisanal type of drink that’s a must-try. You can choose from any of the three types: Milk, Dark or White although the best-seller in the house is Milk. The interior at its Solamachi branch (there’s also one in Omotesando Hills and another at Hiroo Plaza) resembles a chocolate factory that will keep you choco-inspired throughout your visit. Try the caramel toffee topping.  Max Brenner Tokyo Skytree Town Solamachi 1F 1-1-2 Oshiage, Sumida-ku Tokyo 131-0045

 

Kyobashi

100% Chocolate Cafe Kyobashi

¥500

Japanese confectionery brand Meiji has jumped on the chocolate culture bandwagon creating a stylish bar with a gigantic chocolate bar-looking ceiling it calls ‘100% Chocolate Cafe.’ We recommend that you try its delicious mug of hot chocolate topped with roasted marshmallows, graham crunch and orange zest (¥500) before it bids us goodbye on February 15. If you miss it, grab a chocolapresso (¥500), three tiny espresso cups of Ghana (cinnamon), Brazil (nuts), Zurabeshi (azure beans)-flavored drinks which are equally as warming and pleasant.                                                                      100% Chocolate Cafe Kyobashi 2-4-16, Chuo-ku, Tokyo Meiji Kyobashi Building 1F Tel. 03-3273-3184
