■A new era for chocolate has arrived! You must try "couverture"

When talking about "Salon du Chocolat 2017," one thing cannot be left out: the lineup of couverture brands. Couverture is a brand that provides chocolate as an ingredient to the world's top chocolatiers, and is something of a "trade secret" among pastry chefs. It is difficult for the general public to obtain, and it is truly a taste that can only be enjoyed at the Salon du Chocolat festival. It is said that some of these precious couverture brands have finally been persuaded by buyers to sell at Salon du Chocolat. If you know about brands that are not very familiar to the general public, you will become a real chocolate enthusiast! Let's try tasting the taste of "couverture" as discerned by professionals.

Felchlin "Opus Milk/White" (200g each/3,000 yen each)


◇An exquisite taste created by rare Swiss milk
"This couverture, which the staff at Salon du Chocolat described as 'the most delicious white chocolate I've ever eaten,' has an exquisite taste created by carefully selected cacao and rare Swiss milk."

Guittard "Guittard Chocolate Bar" (various types, 75g each/700 yen each)


◇A chocolate manufacturer in business for five generations in San Francisco
"Guittard, which originated in San Francisco, is rare among couverture brands, which are dominated by European brands. It offers a blissful taste using high-quality cocoa beans from around the world. It's making its first appearance in Japan and is a must-see!"
