Fantastic chocolate. The lady working there is very knowledgeable and kind.Prices are doubled than the one in japan but i guess is because of taxes.

The chocolates are good but every time I come into the store it’s disheveled and messy looking. Also when I come here there’s never anyone out to assist me with the products or questions. There’s been multiple times where I have to stand and wait for the lady to come out, this usually happens on the weekends, it’s usually always the same lady too. Before 2021 this used to be a better store.

Royce chocolate and cookies is located inside of mitsuwa along with several high end vendors and shops. Royce doesn't disappoint. Paris was extremely helpful and went over all of the offerings that Royce had. I ended up getting the variety pack because I couldn't make up mind. Great gifts for the adventurous tongue and even for someone with a sweet tooth. The have adorable pink gift bags to make it for a quick pick up. I absolutely recommend the fromage blanc chips, they are delicious and daring at the same time!

Royce chocolates was absolutely delicious and the customer service was amazing! Unfortunately, they close a bit early in the day and being an hour away I was cutting it close to closing time. I called ahead and the employee was so kind to leave my goodies for me to pick up when I get there! She even wrote a small handwritten note and threw in some samples. Those milk chocolates man... they hit different. Flavorful but small, it packs a punch with intensity. I also purchased the tiramisu wafers and WOW I loved it. The hint of coffee combined with the chocolate and the delicate wafer was perfectly balanced. Their shop is located in the Mitsuwa Marketplace. If you've never been, I highly recommend getting lost in the marketplace and enjoying some ramen and other goodies!

I never appreciated higher end chocolate, let alone anything that's just more expensive. I saw ROYCE in a kdrama, and had to see what the fuss was about. Located in Mitsuwa Marketplace, I was offered samples to try, and I was blown away by the quality of the chocolates. They have sweet, semi-sweet, and dark chocolates all with different flavors. Yes, you'll be paying a premium for these chocolates, but you'll be hard pressed having anything as decadent and unique as ROYCE. I got Nama chocolate Islay Whisky (Port Charlotte), which is made with milk chocolate and fresh cream. It's infused with whisky from Scotland, and this is something I've been having one bite of as a special treat because I don't want to run out! I guess I'm a chocolate believer now thanks to ROYCE.

Great boutique shop was unique chocolates! Royce chocolate melts and taste different than other brands. Hard to describe but can tell it's clean and pure. Also-friendly staff that's always helpful!

Small spot but lots of selection. Service was quick and very polite. Definitely try the chocolate covered potato chips! Better than any I have tried.

If you are looking for authentic and delicious Japanese chocolate, I bet you must heard about ROYCE chocolate. I have heard their name multiple times and my friends kept mentioning how good their chocolates are. Finally I decided to give it a try with not so high expectation. Cause I had so many other great chocolate before from other brands. I got their signature green tea chocolate and kept it in a insulated ice bags. The moment I went back home, I took one pc out. Oh MAN. It was so so so good! I never had such smooth and delicate chocolate flavor like this before. Fall in love with it instantly. The packaging was soooo cute. I highly recommends boys get this chocolate for your girl, they will love it. I think the only downside is the pricing. It's not so cost friendly tho but I still love it! Haha.

I've been going to Mitsuwa (former Yao Han) for decades and have always enjoyed the various shops that are contained within it. Royce is a little more recent - maybe 5-6 years or so, Covid not withstanding. Anyway, I had never shopped at Royce before and this Elite Experience was perfect for me to check it out and sample some of their offerings. Like other Yelpers. I got to sample the white chocolate chip, the green tea wafer and the nama chocolate; all were good but the latter was definitely my favorite. The Royce staffperson shared a catalog with me - something tells me it will be useful around Christmas time. My goodie bag included the Venezuelan dark chocolate "thins" - perfect for any dark chocolate love, like me! Thanks to Mirella and the Royce team for extending the opportunity to try your products out to me and fellow Yelpers - I truly enjoyed them.

Loveeeee this cute little chocolate shop located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace! First off I want to say the staff here is incredible. Lindsey was beyond personable, helpful, and friendly. She was great at explaining their chocolate. Their chocolate here is superb. It's so different, unique, and quality. The chocolate chip potato chips are absolutely delicious. What differentiates them is their international chocolate that you cannot find anywhere else! Their truffles fell apart in my mouth - incredibly delicious. Everything is fairly priced for the quality, too. I will 100% come back here again. This is the perfect spot to get some chocolate for an anniversary, birthday, or any special occasion for somebody else. Love Royce!
Luxurious chocolate company from Hokkaido, Japan. The chocolates are not too sweet. After that first bite, your mouth will be craving for more. The associate is very nice and gives you a detailed history of the chocolate. Remember to ask for free samples. Prices are on the higher end. They do have an assortment with different packaging. The one I got was $29. Definitely worth buying if it’s for yourself or a gift to someone. After you walk in the main entrance, turn left past the mochi place, and head straight ahead. It’s next door to Lady M and the food court.

Thank you to Mirella and the people at ROYCE' Chocolate for putting together a great experience.Normally, an experience consists of going to a business, picking up an item, and leaving. This was very different. The host was very engaging. She explained what made Royce Chocolate different from other chocolates. She had us try samples and got our reactions after each sample. The chocolate was different than other Asian chocolates I have tried in the past. It was very rich, creamy, and smooth. My husband and I enjoyed the samples that we had in store and what we were able to take home. We will be coming back to Royce to try more of their delicious chocolates!

Cute little setup in Mitsuwa around the corner from the food court. The person working was very sweet and super informative. She went through the chocolate brochure and offered 3 samples to try- Nama chocolate (made with liquor), Matcha wafer, and the white chocolate "Fromage Blanc" chip. Everything was so good and nothing was overly sweet. I especially like the white chocolate covered potato chip- which you would never guess was infused with cheese. The flavors just go together so well, along with the crunch and saltiness of the chip. For the Yelp event, I chose the dark option and bought a milk chocolate bar. The quality is excellent and the chocolates are so velvety, they literally melt in your mouth. The price might seem high for some, but due to the quality of the chocolate, it's well worth it. I'm hoping to go back and pick up some items as Christmas gifts...

Very unique chocolate spot located inside the Mitsuwa market. Such a great tasting experience. The Nama chocolate is so rich and creamy, the chips were good especially the white chocolate fromage. I ended up coming home with the:Nama dark VSOP liquor infusedRum raisin chocolate liquor barAnd bought the darjeeling tea liquor Nama chocolate for a friend.Excellent quality for being important directly from Japan. Impressed with the cool packaging for the specialty Nama chocolates as well.

Hands down some of the best chocolate out there, high end and specialty curated. You'll have to come see for yourself. I was given samples on this trip by a Royce employee, and she shared background knowledge about the history and what makes their chocolates unique. She was very knowledgeable and friendly, and I appreciate the samples of their newest flavor the matcha potato chips, a piece of their Nama bitter chocolate with chocolate liquor in it, and I also had a piece of their matcha wafer chocolate. Another thing I love about the experience is that it's tailored to my preference of whether I prefer milk or dark chocolate. From there, she made recommendations and it's exactly how she described it to be. I'm so excited to try the Venezuelan bitter chocolate disks, the cacao is from Venezuela, but made in Japan and she said that it's going to taste like dark chocolate but not super bitter which is perfect. It's a great experience overall. I ended up getting a pack of the Nama bitter chocolate to go, and she wrapped it up perfectly with dry ice as it requires refrigeration. You have a 5 hour window to make it home to a fridge. It's a boutique that's inside of the Mitsuwa Marketplace -- my kind of grocery store that specializes in Asian and international goods. It was pretty easy to find as the layout was split between boutiques on one side, food court, and then the actual grocery store itself. There's plenty of free parking on premise. I'd recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for specialty curated chocolate, it's high end and totally worth it! I'm looking forward to coming back here for more chocolates when shopping at the grocery store.
