Bitter-Sweet Flavored Maria Theresa -Chocolatier Masale in Sapporo-

Chocolatier Masale (ショコラティエマサール) is a store specializing in chocolate in Chuo ward, Sapporo city. Chocolates, baked confectioneries, fresh sweets or breads are sold. An owner from family of Furuya confectionery, famous for "milk caramel of Furuya", Chocolatier Masale was founded in 1988. A place for customers to enjoy foods and drinks was at a stylish building, too. There seems to be limited menus such as a parfait here. I heard from my older sister that this chocolate was tasty, and I visited here.

After asking a waitress about recommendation of the cakes, she replied "Maria Theresa (マリアテレサ), it was the most popular cake". I ordered a piece of the Maria Theresa. The price was JPY 497.

I planned to eat the Maria Theresa at stylish place for customers to enjoy the foods and drinks. As for the Maria Theresa, a slim form was impressive. Cake dough was cooked without using wheat flour really. Chocolate cake and chocolate mousse piled up with several folds. Cacao used abundantly was bitter taste and it felt sweetness slightly. It was chocolate suitable for adults that bitterness was just right.

Maria Theresa is found on Amazon.
