Whenever I am in the Momodani area, I've passed this tiny chocolate & cake shop called Coq Blanc. In the shop window there are many hollow chocolate animals as well as really huge chocolate sculptures.
Finally, I went in to check it out.
On my first visit, I picked up some orangette to try.
These aren't cut like match sticks but into triangles, I liked the tartness of the peel. The chocolate is semi-sweet.
A nice balance.
I went back again recently and the owner has started getting ready for Boy's Day with these kabuto (samurai helmets)
Check out the detail!
I also tried this chocolate stick. When I asked what was in the chocolate, the wife said "chocolate"...then added, "nuts"...actually there was a chewy nougat center with nuts and chocolate in it....so good!
I'll be back.

Love checking out chocolate shops like that, but I think the guy's wife needs to hone up on her saleswoman skills. I mean, she didn't even specify what kind of nuts???!
ReplyDeleteI don't really think she could hear too well Rowena :)
