Key Checklist for Choosing Broken Chocolate

✔
Beware the assumption that 'broken chocolate is cheaper than retail'：Broken chocolate may sound like an ultra-cheap bargain, but because it uses high-grade couverture ingredients and includes shipping costs, it is actually more expensive than supermarket chocolate bars (¥200–¥300/100g). Buy it for authentic flavor and luxury rather than low prices.
✔
Always check the 100g unit price after applying coupons：Rakuten shops frequently run major campaigns such as 'half-price coupons' or '50% off for 2 items'. While regular prices run ¥800–¥1,000+/100g, discounts bring them down to ¥350–¥500/100g, making post-coupon unit price calculation essential.
✔
Verify whether it is 'Couverture' or 'Quasi-Chocolate'：For truly authentic flavor, ensure the packaging specifies 'Couverture Chocolate'. Products labeled 'Quasi-Chocolate' contain substantial vegetable oil substitutes, which compromise texture and flavor.
