patisserie kubler & christian camprini

Sorry, I didn't publish all your comments right away, we spent the weekend in Hokkaido, there was lots of snow and lots to tell about, but I will probably get to it sometime later this week.

Here are the next chocolates: Patisserie Kubler is a shop in Strasborg, France. Their chocolatier, Yoshinori Asami is from Japan. Apparently this was the same selection that was sold at last year's Salon du Chocolat Japan, but I couldn't find out much more information on what types of filling they were and it didn't come with a chocolate map, so I will just tell you what I thought they were.

The one with the orange dot was a passion fruit ganache covered with milk chocolate.

The one to the right of it was a hazelnut ganache covered with milk chocolate.

The bottom left was a lavender or rosemary or basil ganache covered with dark chocolate.

The one with the yellow dot was a lemon or citrus ganache covered with dark chocolate.

The ganaches all had a slight crunch but matched their covering chocolates, my favorite was the lavenderish one.

Christian Camprini is an MOF (an award given to the best craftsmen in France), whose shop is in Opio, France.

This bon-bon set also didn't come with a chocolate map, so again I will just tell you what I thought they were.

The one on the top left was a dark ganache covered with dark chocolate.

The one to the right of that was a hazelnut ganache covered with dark chocolate.

The one on the bottom left was a chai flavored ganache covered with dark chocolate.

The one to the right of that was a dark chocolate ganache covered with dark chocolate.

When I went to Hankyu on the 4th, his chocolates were selling there too (post about what I bought there, way later). I thought maybe I could read up on what the chocolates were. They had the top left one listed as raspberry-rose ganache, and the bottom right one as a cassis-violet, but I don't think that was it, if they were flavored they were REALLY delicate, to the point of non-existence. I was hoping he had a website or something but there was no information. So, I'll stick to my first impressions. His chocolates were delicious, my favorite was the one with the chai ganache.

Hope you aren't getting tired of these chocolate posts.
