Product information
About
Alfort's chocolate slab set on a dark cocoa sablé, a crumbly French-style butter biscuit, twelve pieces to a box. With cocoa in the biscuit as well as chocolate on top, it tastes more chocolatey than the blue-box original Alfort Mini. Buy it if you like a sweet chocolate biscuit; if the dark box has you hoping for bitter chocolate, this one is sweeter than it looks.
アルフォート ミニチョコレート ショコラサブレ, the name on the box, if you're matching it to a pack you saw in Japan.
What you're getting
- The biscuit: a cocoa and butter sablé with no wholemeal flour in it, where the original Alfort Mini sits on a plain wholemeal biscuit.
- Texture: crisp and crumbly. It snaps more like a cracker than a cookie, and the chocolate snaps cleanly straight from the fridge.
- Sweetness: a sweet milk-chocolate biscuit, not a bitter dark one, whatever the box colour suggests.
- In summer: it can arrive soft, and it keeps best below 28 °C and out of the sun. Pale streaks on the chocolate after it sets again are its fat coming to the surface: it spoils the look, not the taste, and it is not mould.
- Allergens: contains milk, wheat and soy. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.
The pieces are not individually wrapped. In Japan it is a standing part of the Alfort Mini range rather than a seasonal flavour; an older Mini with a plain butter biscuit is no longer in the range, so if you are matching a pack, look for ショコラサブレ on the box.

What Japanese buyers say
- What they like
More chocolatey than the normal one, and delicious.
普通のよりもチョコ感が増して美味しかったです。
from monolog, a Japanese review site
- What they grumble about
I usually eat bitter or high-cacao chocolate, so it felt even more like chewing sugar than chocolate.
普段からチョコレートはビタータイプかハイカカオを食べてるので 余計にチョコレートではなくお砂糖齧ってるような感覚でした。
from monolog
- What they like
If I had to compare it, it snaps more like a cracker than a cookie.
強引に例えるとクッキーよりはクラッカーのようにパキッいきます😚
from mognavi, a Japanese food and drink review site
- What they grumble about
I expected it to be bittersweet, but the chocolate was much sweeter than it looks.
ほろ苦い？と思って頂いたら、チョコが見た目よりずっと甘かったです・・・
from mognavi
- What they like
The biscuit is cocoa-flavoured, so the chocolate taste is deep.
クッキーがココア味なので、チョコの味が濃いです
from monolog
- What they grumble about
It's crisp, but I think the original tastes better.
サクサクしてるけど、オリジナルのほうが美味しいかな。
from monolog
- What they like
I liked the crisp texture, and the way it melts in the mouth was so good I bought it again today.
サクッとした食感も好みでだっ上に、口の中で溶ける感じがまた良かったので、今日また買ってしまいました。
from monolog
- What they grumble about
It's so sweet it's hard going without an unsweetened drink.
甘みが強いので、無糖の飲み物がないとキツい。
from monolog
- What they like
A strong bitter-chocolate feel, very grown-up.
ビターなチョコ感が強くて大人の感じでした。
from monolog
- What they grumble about
If the sablé were a bit more crumbly I'd prefer this one, but the dough is quite hard, so the normal type does me.
もう少しサブレがサクホロっとしていたらこちらがいいなと思いますか結構サブレ生地が硬いので普通タイプでいいかなという感想です。
from monolog
- What they like
The sablé was crisp and the chocolate wasn't as sweet as usual. Delicious!
サブレがサクサクでチョコは普段のより甘すぎなくて美味しかった！
from monolog
- What they grumble about
I bought it out of curiosity but it's too sweet; I wouldn't recommend it unless you have a serious sweet tooth.
気になって買って見たけど甘すぎ、マジの甘党じゃなきゃ オススメしない
from monolog
- What they like
Tastier than the blue-pack Alfort!!
青いパッケージのアルフォートより美味しい!!
from monolog
- What they grumble about
Neither the chocolate nor the cocoa is as deep as I'd hoped.
期待していたほどチョコもココアも濃くない。
from mognavi
- What they like
Eaten chilled, the chocolate snaps and it's delicious!
冷やして食べるとチョコがパキッと食感で美味しい！
from mognavi
- What they grumble about
The downside is that the pieces aren't individually wrapped, so you end up eating too many.
この商品の難点は個包装じゃないから食べ過ぎちゃうんですよね。
from mognavi
- What they like
A stronger chocolate aroma than regular Alfort, and a slightly richer taste.
普通のアルフォートよりもチョコの香りが高く、ちょっとリッチな味わいです
from monolog
- What they like
Even in summer, no sweetness lingered in my mouth, which was good.
夏に食べても口に甘さが残らなくて良かったです。

The maker
Where it comes from
- Bourbon
- Niigata
Alfort is made by Bourbon, whose home is Kashiwazaki, in Niigata. The sailing ship stamped into every piece isn't a real one. Bourbon drew it themselves, and named the biscuit after the ship, for the sense of adventure it carries.
