A friend recently came back from Tokyo and brought me a box of chocolates from Le Chocolat de H by Hironobu Tsujiguchi. You might have read my previous posts on this Japanese chocolatier (here and here) and already know that I’m a huge fan of his creations. Needless to say, I was grinning from ear to ear upon receiving this box…an assortment of 16 different chocolate bonbons!

It’s absolute fun to discover each chocolate, to feel the textures and tease out the flavors, which are at times subtle and at times powerful. A few that left an especially memorable note include the Bananier (banana), Arabique (coffee), and Bacchus (rum), though my old favorites – Yuzu and Hime (earl grey) still had my heart.

Incidentally, I’ve been getting a box of Le Chocolat de H every year for three years in a row now. Could this become an annual tradition?
