It takes a special kind of passion to build an empire like the one chocolate pioneer Koji Tsuchiya has built in the two decades since opening his Yoyogi Koen store. Colourfully wrapped bean-to-bar chocolate is just one of many goodies you’ll find in this chocoholic’s wonderland.
Assortments of handmade bonbons include some flavoured with Japanese ingredients like yuzu, Japanese whisky and even hatcho miso. The menu at the adjoining café is just as inspired, with rare treats including chocolate curry and cacao iced tea.
