Shopping Guide
The Shibuya Chocolate Paradise exhibit will be held at the Seibu Shibuya Store Site 2 beginning on Jan. 31, and there will be sweets recommended for the Valentine’s season, as well.
Themed around ”kawaii!!”, ordinarily hard-to-find chocolates like those from the Vietnamese shop Pheva and the German shop Leysieffer will be on display, and are all so gorgeous you’ll want to share them with your friends through social media. There will also be a “Kawaii!! Selection Shop” of cute items like boxer underwear and fashion art at the women’s miscellaneous goods sale location.
Valentine’s Day falls on a Tuesday in 2017, so compared to it landing on a Sunday last year, sales of platonic chocolate for friends and coworkers is expected to be higher. The shop is aiming for 105% of last year’s sales through offering not just chocolate, but also other great items for gifts.
