White chocolate with rose and matcha drink

Kon’nichiwa Japan! With the Japanese ‘Hello’ we invite you to look to the East of Asia, to faraway Japan. During the last few weeks we are into building bridges from the land of roses to the land of the rising sun. We even learned a few world in Japanese from Japanese videographer Yoji Sato who currently lives in Sofia and with whom we had lots of fun while shooting the video introducing to the Japanese our concept of the Bulgarian rose as edible flower. If you haven’t watched it, do so right now in our You Tube channel, here.

Here why today we want to share the emotion of those cross-cultural connections through the link of the most emblematic flavours of our Bulgaria and fascinating Japan. To us those flavours are Bulgarian rose and matcha. So, get ready for a virtual flight Sofia – Tokyo in a cup! Plus, it’s a two-way flight: the first one on a chilly day and the second one – on a hot summer day. Before you run to take your suitcase, let us reassure you – you don’t need big luggage. All that is required for this exotic trip of flavours is listed bellow…
