Silkworm Kingdom 'Oikosama' Chocolate
A chocolate so visually impactful you'll find yourself looking twice. Developed over about a year by Maruei Foods in Fujioka City, this was created with the hope of the Tomioka Silk Mill and related silk industry sites being registered as a World Heritage site. Using white chocolate, rice puffs, and dried cranberries, the silkworm larvae are realistically recreated, while the mulberry leaves they feed on are expressed through chocolate infused with Gunma-grown mulberry leaf powder. In Gunma, silkworms have been cherished and called 'Oikosama' (the Great Silkworm) since ancient times. This product is a creation born from the culture of that sericulture kingdom. Despite its surprising appearance, the flavor is mellow. It is a perfect souvenir representing Gunma, ideal as a memento of visiting the Tomioka Silk Mill or as a conversation starter.
