![[Paris] Le Chocolat de H](https://www.sugarednspiced.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/R0095920.jpg)
The last time I had chocolates from Japanese chocolatier Hironobu Tsujiguchi was almost a year and half ago, when a friend graciously hand-carried a box back for me from his boutique in Tokyo. I had almost forgotten how divine his chocolates are, until I tasted them again at Paris’ annual Salon du Chocolat last month. This was Mr. Tsujiguchi’s first time appearing at Paris’ Salon de Chocolat, and his chocolates were awarded “5 bars”, the highest recognition by the Club des Croqueurs des Chocolat (CCC). That sounds like a big deal.
On another note, I spotted Mr. Carl Marletti at buying Le Chocolat de H at Le Salon du Chocolat. He told me that he has been to the boutique in Tokyo several times, and is a huge fan. Great minds, you know.
I took home a box of 8 flavors (€2 each), and after tasting all of them in one single sitting, I immediately regretted not buying more of these…
Inside the packaging are detailed explanations on each chocolate, complete with diagrams and all. Very Japanese indeed.
