Salon du Chocolat 2015

Tokyo's most indulgent romantics will again be aching to stock up on fancy choccies at this year's Salon du Chocolat, held just a few weeks before Valentine's Day. Moving from Isetan to a more spacious basement location for its 13th edition, the Tokyo incarnation of Paris's famous chocolate trade show bears little relation to its French forebear: gone are the free samples, workshops and chocolate fashion shows, replaced by what more closely resembles a department store food court on the first day of the New Year sales. If you don't mind braving the crowds, though, there'll be a range of exotic, hard-to-find treats on offer, including goodies from a group of 'bean-to-bar' (meaning they control everything from cocoa bean processing to design) brands.
