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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

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,<\/a> Grand Marnier, and Marron Glac\u00e9 Cuneesi in<\/a> a very short time.<\/p>\n Silvio Bessone with his Japanese fans.<\/p><\/div>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Silvio meets Japanese VIPs<\/p><\/div>\n Program for Japanese friends who would like to visit me during my tour<\/p>\n 5\/2\/2018 Tokyo<\/p>\n 6\/2\/2018 Nagoya h 13.00 Departement store Sakae Mitsukoshi meeting with fans and signing autographs<\/p>\n 7\/2\/2018 Kagoshima h 14.00 Departemernt Store Yamagataya handshake\/autograph<\/p>\n 7\/2\/ 2018 Kumamoto sta. h 18 Kumamoto Tsuruya handshake\/autograph 1H<\/p>\n 8\/2 08\/02\/2018 10:30 am Kumamoto sta.<\/p>\n 12:20 Hiroshima sta.
