Morihachi is the oldest and most established Japanese confectionery store in Ishikawa Prefecture. Founded in 1625 as the official confectioner for the Kaga domain, it boasts a history of 400 years. This leading Japanese confectionery store in Kanazawa has recently opened a new chocolate specialty store, UNFINI.

Hotel Resol Trinity Kanazawa
All tourist spots in Kanazawa are within walking distance, and Omicho Market is just a minute's walk away, making this a convenient location for sightseeing in Kanazawa.
We welcome you with colorful flowers and Kaga Temari art.
The appeal of the fusion of Japanese culture and chocolate

Chocolate alone can tend to taste too strong or monotonous.
Therefore, by incorporating Japanese elements, the flavor becomes delicate and the heavy aftertaste that is typical of chocolate is reduced.
Not only that, but by combining it with Japanese elements, it helps to reduce the "fat" that people tend to be concerned about when eating sweets. And yet, by not overemphasizing the Japanese elements, we have a range of products that can be enjoyed even by people who have never been familiar with Japanese sweets before.

"They appreciate the appeal of fresh products, which can only be bought on that day and eaten in that place," Morioka told us.
In today's world, people are giving gifts less and less. We want people to enjoy products that can only be purchased at this store, not just as gifts, but as a reward for themselves. That is the concept of "UNFINI".
UNFINI: A store that doesn't talk

Up until now, the makers of Morihachi's products as a Japanese confectionery shop have always been Japanese confectioners. However, many of the products at "UNFINI" are made locally by Morihachi's sales staff. This is apparently a first for Morihachi.
By manufacturing close to our customers, we are able to offer the appeal and security of freshly made products.
UNFINI also has booths at various events. Even at the event, you cannot see the faces of the craftsmen. Aiming to be a chocolate brand that can be felt even without seeing the faces of the craftsmen, they also have booths at events such as Valentine's Day events where the ranking of sales is revealed.
They continue to launch new ventures that overturn the conventional image of a traditional Japanese confectionery shop.
Chocolate that can only be found at "UNFINI"
We will introduce four of UNFINI's attractive products.
① Chocolate terrine

"An Chocolat Terrine" allows you to enjoy the change in flavor of the two layers. Although chocolate terrine has a rich image, the use of anko (bean paste) gives it a gentle and refreshing taste.
② "Nama Chocolate" flavored with ingredients from Ishikawa Prefecture

">
"Raw Chocolate" flavored with ingredients from Ishikawa Prefecture, including Noto bean paste.
The greatest appeal of this product is the excellent combination of raw chocolate and bean paste.
Morioka-san told us, "I chose raw chocolate because freshness is important so that you can enjoy the original taste of the chocolate rather than hard chocolate." The refined taste of the bean paste brings out the original taste of the chocolate even more.
3. Wasanbon chocolate pudding

"Wasanbon Chocolate Pudding" is not sold at the event venue.
It's so soft that it can't withstand shipping. It's a special pudding that can only be purchased at the main store. The sweetness of the wasanbon sugar melts in your mouth and the pudding is exquisitely soft. Please try this smooth pudding that you can only get here.
④ Bean paste and chocolate soft serve

The last thing I'd like to introduce is the "soft serve ice cream" that you'll never find anywhere else.
Regular chocolate-flavored soft serve ice cream is made using a chocolate flavor concentrate. However, UNFINI produces its own concentrate in-house. As befits a chocolate brand from a Japanese confectionery shop, they use monaka (a type of wafer) with bamboo charcoal instead of cones.
In addition, there is red bean paste near the handle, so you can enjoy it until the last bite.
