The Tokyo Chocolate Show 2015, an interactive chocolate event, will be held at Laforet Harajuku and Omotesando Hills from November 26th. The Tokyo Chocolate Show is a chocolate event that promotes Japan's advanced chocolate techniques and culture to the world. This year, the second edition has been expanded to two venues: Laforet Harajuku and Omotesando Hills. The event will feature an exclusive soft serve ice cream created by top pastry chef Hironobu Tsujiguchi, as well as the debut of new products from Ken's Cafe Tokyo, famous for its gateau chocolat. Harita Cacao, a new shop by Tetsuro Handa, who trained at Jean-Charles Rocher in France for six years, will open its first store in Japan. Other highlights include Patisserie & Cafe Delimo introducing an innovative pancake lineup, and a demonstration stage by the pastry chef team Cercle des Chefs. Approximately 40 sweets and chocolate shops will be participating. The venue will also host a giant chocolate sculpture and art performance by "Frankie," an artist who appeared on "Terrace House," as well as a "Bean to Bar" workshop where participants can make chocolate bars from cacao beans. There will also be an interactive event called "Kabedon Chocolate," where a sweet-toothed man will push you against the wall and hand you chocolate, and a new event called "Scrum Chocolate," where participants will form a scrum with rugby players to receive chocolate.
