Hoppin Garage’s Otona no Choco Minto mint chocolate beer will be re-released in limited quantities on Feb 8 in time for Valentine’s Day.
Otona no Choco Minto, which means chocolate mint for adults, made a big splash last year with fans of the classic flavor combo.
The popular mint chocolate crossover treat has 5 percent alcohol, higher than the average 4.5 percent for beer.
While it’s good on its own, it can also be used as a base for an ice cream float or an ice cream topping.
Valentine’s Day is inextricably linked with chocolate in Japan.
This sweet beverage can currently be pre-ordered in various quantities on Hoppin’ Garage’s website before its release.
