Valentine's Day is around the corner, and the Cerulean Tower Tokyu Hotel is playing "the game of love" with its extravagant marriage of chocolate and Champagne, the Valentine's Chocolat Chessboard 2019.
The chessboard is served at the hotel's 40th-floor Tower's Bar Bellovisto and can be ordered through Feb. 14 from 4 p.m. to midnight on weekdays or from 1:30 p.m. on weekends and holidays. It is available alone for ¥2,613 or as a set with two glasses of Champagne for ¥7,500.
A redux of last year's popular valentine's chocolate set, this assortment comes complete with a knight, bishop, queen and various chessboard squares — each accented with unique flavors, including orange, berry, coffee and salted caramel. It even includes a small clock-shaped chocolate with the hands set to 2:14 as a symbolic gesture of the holiday.
