Journey through emotions in Japan
In February 2017 I embarked on my first promotional trip to Japan, an unforgettable experience. Thanks to the partner company I have in Japan and my wonderful collaborator Aki, we can say that today the Silvio Bessone brand is one that has established itself among the best in the world.
Chocolate in Japan is mainly consumed on Valentine’s Day, and no one can imagine what this holiday means to that market. Every Japanese girl gives at least a dozen chocolates or the like for that event, and to make the gifts they make conscious and targeted choices to the best producers in the World.
Last year, I was mainly at the Salon du Chocolat in Tokyo, which was held inside the capital’s most important convention center, in those three days thousands of people entered the salon and all intent on buying! ALL were directed to the booth and or the producer they have long followed and know well. My site is visited by 37% Japanese people and that is why we have some texts in Japanese and from this week my posts will be translated to give proper tribute to the international audience that follows me.

In addition to the Chocolate Fair, I visited other shopping malls and met thousands of people and signed countless packages and bags. The selfies I can’t count are really a lot and I invite those who made them last year and will make them this week to post them on my Facebook page silvio bessone pure chocolate.
The experience of living in Japan has been significant, the respect for professionalism is unparalleled, every effort to satisfy that market is justified. However, it should not be forgotten that exporting there is by no means easy, and this year we too had quite a few problems with customs. Another problem is being able to produce tons of Gianduiotti, Chocolates, Tablets, but especially Rhum, Grand Marnier, and Marron Glacé Cuneesi in a very short time.

For the past couple of years we have also included in some Temporary Stores the Gelato Italiano that is a blend of ice cream in UHT made in Italy with the best milk from the Cuneo hills combined with my excellent chocolate and or hazelnuts from Piedmont and for a special flavor with Sicilian Pistachio roasted and peeled by hand in Vicoforte.
I am leaving Malpensa tomorrow morning for my second trip and I wanted to accompany this mission, which I will narrate to you live from Japan directly from there, with this nostalgic but very exciting blog as a good prelude to a splendid trip.
