Lotte’s Premium Ghana “Sablé Chocolat – Deep Uji Matcha” is a premium Japanese chocolate snack that combines European-style baking with traditional Japanese flavors.

At its core, this product features a sablé cookie, which is a French-style shortbread known for its delicate, crumbly texture and rich buttery flavor. This cookie is paired with smooth chocolate, creating a layered or coated confection that feels more refined than ordinary biscuits or chocolates.

What really sets this product apart is the use of Uji matcha, a high-grade green tea powder produced in the Uji region of Kyoto. Uji has been famous for tea cultivation for hundreds of years, dating back to the 13th century, and is widely considered one of the most prestigious tea-producing areas in Japan. The matcha used here has a deep, complex flavor—slightly bitter, earthy, and aromatic—which balances the sweetness of the chocolate and the richness of the butter cookie. The result is a sophisticated combination of bitterness, sweetness, and creaminess, which is a hallmark of many high-end Japanese desserts.

The product belongs to Lotte’s “Premium Ghana” line. The original Ghana chocolate brand was introduced by Lotte in 1964 and has long been one of Japan’s most popular chocolate series. The “Premium” version is a more recent development, created to offer a higher-quality, more indulgent experience using carefully selected ingredients and more complex flavor profiles.

In terms of price, this kind of premium snack typically costs around 250 to 400 yen per box (roughly 2 to 3 USD, depending on the store and region). The package usually contains several individually wrapped pieces, making it convenient for sharing or enjoying over time.

You can easily find it in Japan at convenience stores (like 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, and Lawson), as well as supermarkets and drugstores. It may also appear in souvenir shops or be available through online retailers that sell Japanese snacks internationally.

Because of its elegant packaging and refined taste, it’s not just an everyday snack—it’s also popular as a small gift or souvenir, especially for people who appreciate matcha-flavored sweets.
