Tokyo's most indulgent romantics will be stocking up on fancy chocolates at the annual Salon du Chocolat, held just a few weeks before Valentine's Day. This year the Tokyo incarnation of the world-famous chocolate trade show in Paris is held at the Shinjuku NS Building.
If you don't mind braving the crowds, there will be a range of exotic, hard-to-find treats on offer, including goodies from a selection of bean-to-bar brands which control everything from bean processing to the final product design. Expect to see familiar and ever-popular names such as Jean-Paul Hévin, Henri Le Roux and Hugo & Victor, as well as newcomers and local producers.
Note: tickets must be purchased in advance.
