'Cool Kokoro Framboise' (takeout: 367 yen including tax, eat-in: 374 yen including tax) is a donut made with a moist, melt-in-your-mouth asymmetrical heart-shaped cocoa doughnut dough reminiscent of brioche dough, coated with white chocolate and raspberry sauce. It is sandwiched between bitter and fruity ganache cream, sweet and sour raspberry cream, and crispy puffed bitter chocolate. 'Cool Kokoro Caramel Sale' (takeout: 367 yen including tax, eat-in: 374 yen including tax) also uses the same asymmetrical heart-shaped cocoa doughnut dough, but is only coated with white chocolate. Inside is a light and fluffy ganache whipped cream, smooth salted butter caramel filling, and puffed bitter chocolate.
