the last day of class

The last class of this semester was Viral Marketing class.
I handed my portfolio and I finished my all classes for this semester.

No more homework, no more exam!

I was so happy that I decided to give myself some reward.

I went to Westchester Mall after the class.
Then, I went to  Godiva Chocolatier on 2nd Floor.



These chocolates above are what I bought.

I bought 3 star-shaped chocolates; from left to right, Caramel Creme, Atzec Chocolate, and Apple Tart.

These 3 chocolates are covered by colorful dark chocolate. Inside of chocolate is the paste of each flavors.

My favorite one is Apple Tart. It tastes of Apple at first, then  you can find the taste of cake.

Caramel Creme doesn't taste of Caramel so much.

The chocolate above star chocolates is new product of Godiva.

Unfortunately, I forgot the name of this chocolate.

This chocolate looks beautiful, but I prefer basic Chocolate Ganache because this new chocolate is difficult to eat. In addition, there are a raisin and a nut on the chocolate. I don't like the raisin covered with chocolate and the nut is too chewy to bite.

Actually, I prefer Leonidas to Godiva in terms of taste of chocolate.

However, all Godiva chocolates look very pretty and they make me buy more chocolates than I expected.

Chocolate from Japan

Today, I got the parcel from my mother.

My mother lives in Japan and she sends me many Japanese foods.

I asked her to send my favorite chocolate.

Gateau Festa Harada, “Gouter de Roi”

 

This is the Rusk, which is dry, baked bread covered with white chocolate. This white chocolate rusk is sold only during winter season and there are long lines for this famous rusk. I always ask her to buy it for me when winter comes. She sent me three packages of the white chocolate rusk for this time. However, I have to be careful. Once I open the package, I can’t stop eating.

Curry Chocolate

L'atelier Du Chocolat
59W 22nd Street, New York, NY

This store has curry flavor (the lower right in the picture above). You probably can’t imagine how it tastes like.

I like curry but I didn’t think curry and chocolate are good combination.

However, it didn’t taste like spicy curry. It tastes of chocolate basically. I tried other flavors such as pistachio, sea salt, and coffee flavor, but I like curry chocolate best.

When I went to L’atelier du Chocolat, the shop staff was a Korean woman. I talked to her and then found out she used to live in Osaka, my hometown, for 4 years. It was funny that she speaks Japanese with the Osaka accent.

This store has many interesting flavors besides curry chocolate, like wasabi, ginger, and saffron. I wonder how wasabi chocolate tastes like.

Love or Hatred

I HATE PUDDING.

But I love chocolate.

So, this “Pudding Chocolate” troubles me.

I found this at Daido, Japanese Supermarket.
when I found this, I considered for a while whether I should buy or not.
usually, I buy any new flavor chocolate when I find.
but this is the worst flavor I ever seen.

How come they thought it would be good idea to make pudding flavor chocolate?
Does it taste of pudding? or chocolate?

Sometimes the Japanese develop very strange cultures.

Portable Washlets, Maid café, and making strange flavor chocolates.
(My blog title, soy sauce chocolate, actually exists in Japan)

I bought "pudding chocolate" finally,
expecting it has more chocolate taste than pudding.
But I’m too scared to open and taste it alone…
I’m going to share it with my friends.

Kee's Chocolate

I love chocolate.

I eat chocolate everyday
and I like to find new chocolate shops, chocolate flavors.
I look for new chocolate shops everytime I go to the City.

Kee's Chocolate is one of my favorite chocolate shops.

there are many mysterious flavors in Kee's
green tea,sesami,and chili sesami.
especially, I like their Sesami chocolate!

today, I tasted Chili Sasami too.
It's also good but spicier than I thought.
It might be too spicy if you don't like spicy.

I saw the guy at the shop.
He told me he liked Kee's chocolate and
was going to buy 100 pieces!

I was lucky to get chocolates before he came.

He probably bought almost all chocolate they had.
