The season has arrived when you can easily enjoy authentic ice cream from the world-renowned chocolate brand, Godiva, at convenience stores and supermarkets across Japan. Godiva Japan is launching two new limited-edition flavors: “Dark Chocolate” and “Double Berry Cheesecake.”
In Japan, the sale of high-end brand sweets in everyday places like these is one of the fascinating aspects of its food culture. Many people casually stop by a convenience store after work or on a slightly special day to seek out a luxurious treat.
Godiva Cup Ice Cream “Dark Chocolate”
First to be released on Monday, November 17, 2025, is the “Dark Chocolate.” This ice cream lavishly uses 99% cacao Belgian chocolate, making it an irresistible item for chocolate lovers.
By combining it with fresh cream from Hokkaido, it achieves a rich and smooth melt-in-your-mouth texture. The sweetness is subtle, allowing the rich, powerful flavor of the cacao and its deep, lingering finish to shine through.
The most distinctive feature of this product is the crisp chocolate coating that covers the top. The satisfying “crack” as you break it with a spoon is delightful, and the textural contrast with the smooth ice cream inside is exquisite. It can truly be described as a chocolate experience to be enjoyed with all five senses.
Godiva Cup Ice Cream “Double Berry Cheesecake”
Next, starting Monday, December 15, 2025, the “Double Berry Cheesecake” will be pre-released at convenience stores. (It will be sequentially released in supermarkets from January 2026 onwards).
This flavor features a rich cheese ice cream made with cream cheese from Hokkaido, swirled with a milk chocolate ice cream made with Godiva’s signature Belgian chocolate.
Furthermore, a sweet and tangy double berry sauce adds an accent, bringing a refreshing quality to the rich ice cream. The complex and harmonious flavor created by the three elements—the richness of the cheese, the sweetness of the chocolate, and the tartness of the berries—is like a dessert from a specialty shop.
This one also features a crisp chocolate coating on top, a touch designed to keep you captivated from the first bite to the last.
