Japan is famous for its unique chocolates, and one of the most beautiful is Lotte Sasha Chocolate. Unlike ordinary chocolate bars, Sasha is made from delicate woven strands of chocolate that create a light, crispy texture.
In this review, I’ll introduce the popular Matcha Tiramisu flavor, explain what makes Sasha so special, describe how it tastes, and tell you where you can buy it.
Lotte Sasha Chocolate is one of Japan’s most unique chocolates. Instead of being made as a solid chocolate bar, Sasha is created by carefully weaving together ultra-thin strands of chocolate, giving it an elegant appearance that resembles delicate silk fabric.
According to Lotte, Sasha is designed to deliver a delicate and refined chocolate experience. As you take a bite, the thin chocolate strands become wonderfully crispy before gently crumbling and melting in your mouth. This light, flaky texture is what makes Sasha Chocolate so different from ordinary chocolate bars.
Sasha is available in several flavors, including Milk Chocolate, Strawberry, and Matcha.
If you enjoy delicate Japanese sweets, why not try Japanese cream taiyaki next? It’s soft, chewy, and filled with rich, creamy custard. I’ve written a full review, so be sure to check it out—you’ll definitely want to try one!
I tried the Matcha Tiramisu flavor, one of the most popular seasonal varieties.
The chocolate combines three different layers:
Matcha chocolate
Mascarpone cheese chocolate
Milk chocolate
The beautiful green, white, and brown colors make it almost too pretty to eat.
Taste&Texture
From the very first bite, I was impressed by how satisfying the texture was. Instead of feeling like a single piece of chocolate, it felt as though countless delicate layers were stacked together. Every bite delivered a pleasant crunch before the chocolate slowly dissolved, making me want to reach for another piece right away.
The flavor is just as elegant as the texture. The matcha is smooth and creamy rather than bitter, although a pleasant hint of matcha bitterness lingers in the aftertaste. The milk chocolate is rich and silky with just the right amount of sweetness—it never feels overpowering. Combined with the light crunch of the woven chocolate, the gentle sweetness creates a refined, luxurious treat that I’d happily enjoy again.

Packing
One detail I really like is the packaging. Every piece is carefully lined up inside the box, creating a beautiful presentation. Lotte says this design reflects its wish for people to slow down, appreciate each piece, and enjoy a relaxing, elegant moment. I think it perfectly matches the delicate appearance of Sasha Chocolate.
Have you ever tried a Japanese roll cake? Lawson’s famous Premium Roll Cake is one of Japan’s most beloved convenience store desserts. The soft, fluffy cake and rich, creamy filling create a melt-in-your-mouth treat that’s hard to resist. I’ve written a full review, so be sure to check it out—you’ll be craving one by the end!
You can easily find Lotte Sasha Chocolate at Japanese convenience stores, supermarkets, and drugstores. It’s also available online, making it easy to enjoy even after your trip to Japan.
Lotte Macadamia Chocolate is another Japanese chocolate that I absolutely love. Each whole macadamia nut is generously coated in a thick layer of rich, silky milk chocolate. The smooth chocolate melts beautifully in your mouth, while the crunchy macadamia nut adds a satisfying bite. The contrast between the creamy chocolate and the crisp, nutty texture is simply delicious. It’s rich enough to feel like a special treat, and just one or two pieces are surprisingly satisfying.
ROYCE’ Nama Chocolate “Au Lait” is one of the most famous chocolates from Hokkaido, my hometown in northern Japan. If I could recommend just one premium Japanese chocolate, this would be it.
Unlike ordinary chocolate bars, ROYCE’ Nama Chocolate is made with fresh cream, giving it an incredibly smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture. The moment you place a piece on your tongue, it slowly melts into a rich, creamy chocolate experience that’s completely different from supermarket chocolate. Although it’s wonderfully rich, it never feels heavy or overly sweet. Every bite feels luxurious, which is why it’s one of Japan’s most popular gifts and souvenirs.
In Japan, ROYCE’ Nama Chocolate is sold in the refrigerated section because it’s made with fresh cream. If you order it online, be sure to check how the seller ships it.
Conclusion
Whether you’re trying Japanese chocolate for the first time or you’re already a fan, I hope you’ll give these chocolates a try. They perfectly showcase what I love about Japanese sweets—delicate textures, smooth chocolate, and carefully crafted flavors.
