Lindt is introducing a new limited-edition product, the Tokyo Style Chocolate Matcha Strawberry bar.

The bar features ceremonial grade Chamei Minami matcha, Genmai roasted rice and Swiss white chocolate, along with strawberry pieces.

The flavour is inspired by Japanese tea traditions, combining matcha and roasted rice with fruit and white chocolate. According to Lindt, the Chamei Minami matcha provides a bright and balanced flavour to complement the strawberry and white chocolate.

Stefan Bruderer, master chocolatier at Lindt & Sprüngli, said:  “After seeing the reaction to our Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate over the past year, we’re excited to continue our culinary journey, this time to Japan, and launch a new innovation that combines the finest Swiss chocolate craftmanship with the secrets of traditional tea ceremonies using Japanese matcha”.

The bar will be available exclusively at Lindt’s London Piccadilly flagship store from 6 December, priced at £15. Only 200 bars will be released, each hand-numbered and limited to one per customer.
