This is chocolate shops which Pierre marcolini started. he want us to feel the taste if we like eat chocolate in Belgium. he don’t want to change the taste depends on the place which eat his chocolate. In japan, first this shop was open in 2001 in Ginza. There are many kinds of chocolate and icecream. I like “manjari” . this is little bit bitter but smells good. The package which is used is very beautiful. It used only brawn color box and ribbon.
