Because Valentine’s Day is close, Karuizawa’s Bleston Court is holding a special event from 1-30-2015 to 2-14-2015, which consists of a guest plan that will make any true chocoholic satisfied, called “Chocolat Ladies Trip”. This plan is perfect for any chocolate lover as well as anyone looking to create a handmade chocolate treat for that special someone.

It starts off with a hot chocolate at “The Lounge” on the first floor of Hotel Bleston Court as a welcome drink.

Most will think a chocolate drink would be pretty thick but the hot chocolate they serve here is very smooth and goes down extremely easily.

In the saucer next to the teacup is a Shinshu pear, ginger, and melted fresh cream. The acidity of the pear changes the hot chocolate into a fruity flavor. Start by drinking the hot chocolate as is and then try it with the fruit sauce to enjoy the different renditions of this classic drink.

Access to the Karuizawa Hotel Bleston Court Hotel Bleston Court is located 15 minutes by car from Karuizawa Station, and only 5 minutes by car from Nakakaruizawa. There is a free shuttle bus that departs from Karuizawa Station’s South Exit which helps take the strain off of expenses.

Each has a very natural overtone of the local ingredients but aren’t overpowering!

The tart cake that is served in the hall is refreshing with a gelee inside made from raspberries and red currant. It is a spectacular dish where you can experience the bitterness of the chocolate and the tartness of the fruit at the same time. (* depending on the season the menu may change)

The 3 types of chocolates in the foreground are for tasting. Each one has a different country of origin of cacao and the taste is profoundly different.
