About this place
A rewarding stop while strolling along Asakusa's Denboin-dori, Liszt Asakusa is a specialty takeaway chocolate shop centered on fruit peels and toasted nuts. Many visitors come specifically for the candied orange peel chocolate, where smooth chocolate accentuates the fruit's gentle bitterness and bright fragrance into an understated, adult sweetness. It pairs naturally with drinks, making for a fine accompaniment to sip alongside a glass of whisky or brandy in the evening.
The citrus lineup extends beyond orange to include lemon peels enrobed in white chocolate. Here, the sharp acidity and faint bitter edge of the lemon meet the mellow richness of white cocoa butter, yielding a lighter, crisper aftertaste than darker chocolate profiles. Roasted pecan chocolates are another favorite, offering refined, nutty crunch coated in choices like cocoa or caramel flavors that open up with every bite.
Casual bagged options suit personal snacking, while ornate decorative boxes—some featuring Japanese patterns—and assortment sets are on hand for gifts. The shop accepts credit cards and PayPay alongside cash, making it easy to stop in and pick up something sweet while wandering through Asakusa.
