📍The Smile Chocolate

A chocolate shop near Otsu Station.

A local shop that focuses on ingredients from Shiga.

The chic and calm design of the shop is filled with colorful chocolates 🍫
There are a wide variety of chocolates, from standard flavors like dark, milk, and white to more unusual flavors like black tea and yogurt!

The chocolate toppings are apparently made using ingredients sourced from farmers and companies in Shiga Prefecture.

[Menu example]
▷ Chocolate bar (standard chocolate bar)
▷ Mandian (chocolate topped with nuts and fruit)
▷ Chocolate crunch
▷ Chocolate-covered Madeleine
▷ Chocolate drink

The chocolate bar is recommended for those who want to enjoy many of the same flavor, while the Mandian is recommended for those who want to enjoy a combination of chocolate and toppings 😋

Since Valentine's Day was coming up, it was so popular that there was a waiting line!

It's less than a 10-minute walk from Otsu Station.
There is no parking lot, so if you are coming by car, please use the nearby paid parking lot 🚘
