I had the chance of meeting up with him, having him sign his cookbooks and having our picture taken together after blowing close to a grand in chocolates and cookbooks.

I agree the Japanese are doing great things with chocolate (see a much earlier post of mine of Royce chocolates)these days…

I used to go to the Joseph Schmidt factory in San Francisco and wonder if I’d ever meet JS in person or if it was just like Mrs. See’s who never existed or died eons ago.
Some of the best chocolate I’ve tasted recently comes from Japan, they seem to know how to get the best ingredients, particularly dark chocolate, and make delicate, gorgeous pieces. Typically Japanese in style and layout, that transcendent beauty their artists are known for.
