MAMANO CHOCOLATE TASTING EVENT 28th July 2019

MAMANO CHOCOLATEさんの「チョコ食べ会」 in Englishに参加してきたので、英語で感想を書いてみようと思います。
Having joined a tasting event of MAMANO CHOCOLATE, I would like to explain how it was.
I wish it helps some foreginers to join the event at next time.

 

WHO AM I?;
Name : KY ( twitter id = @KY_kbt )
What I like to have : chocolate, shaved ice, meat, fruits, wine and japanese sake
English skill : do not have so many troubles in communication but some in business. learned in UK.
Other info : Worked in a patisserie as a part time worker for 5 years in school days, now an ordinary office worker.

 

The first time I got the information of tasting event from them was in January, but at that time I couldn't join it as there were so many requests to join.
However, I got another opportunity in July.
According to my schedule, I have no choice but joining in English.

As I love sleeping as much as eating, my arrival was on the very time to begin.
We could have 22 kinds of chocolates there.

 

- Cacaolet drops
First of all, their chocolate is single-origin cacao. Means they use only Arriba cacao from Ecuador to produce chocolates.
With this product, we can get the most simple taste of their chocolate.
Now the percentage of cacao is 73% in all products. But they will develop other percentatges in near future.

 

- Ganache
Then we had the ganache. They use the ingredients selected by themselves.
Natural butter, natural fresh cream, sugar syrup and of course their chocolate...
It was smooth and melt in my mouth at once I put it into there.

 

- 7 kinds of Card Chocolate
Small chocolate tablets, often called "Carré de Chocolat" in Franch.
Unfortunately, 2 of 7 will be stopped on production. And another 2 of them are very new on sale.
Simple dark chocolate, with salt, with buckwheat, with caramelized nuts, with crispy crepe, with brown sugar and with coffee.
Nuts and crepe will be gone and I will miss them, but brown sugar and coffee have come.

 

- 3 kinds of Premium Fruits Card Chocolate
A dried fruit on the simple dark chocolate tablets.
Now they have peach, orange and apple. All fruits are made in Japanese farm.
(Actually, I have not had them yet as I brought it home to keep:P)

 

- 2 kinds of Pallet Chocolat
"Pallet" means a pallet knife, the tool to spread chocolate or cream.
This product is spread roughly with that tool.
One with two kinds of berries, strawberry and cranberry and the other with salty roasted almond and sugar.
I love both as the texture of biting was rough, chocolate was bitter but the sugar was adding some sweetness.

 

- 6 kinds of Bonbon Chocolat
My most favourite is completely Hazelnuts bonbon, filled with caramelized hazelnuts praline even though it is without alcohole.
But what I was amazed was the one with Moroccan Argan Oil.
Do you know the argan oil? We often hear the name at cosmetic stores with its great effect to our skin or to our hair.
According to some webpage, it is also good for our health. I will try it again afterwards.
Remember, other four kinds were great as well.

 

- Chocolate dipped orange
I've brought it home as I'd like to have it with my favourite tea or some alcohol.
But the appearance has been already perfect. Candied orange with dark chocolate, how can it be greater?

 

- Cocolate Cookie
It was cookie indeed but any flour was not used to make it. The ingredients are very simple, chocolates, almond and sugar.
Thus, it collapsed at once I put it into my mouth.
No more to explain, just try it though this products are often sold out.

 

Mr. Ezawa, the owner of this chocolatier, told us that they have moved the factory and it got wider.
Therefore they can have enough space to develop more variation of chocolates.
And he and his colleagues are making effort to improve their product.

There will be a lot of new release information and renewal information from them.
I am really looking forward them and I would like to join the event again to find something new.

 

本当に美味しかったし楽しかったので、いろんな方に参加して頂けたらいいなという気持ちと、あんまり話題になると予約取りづらくなりそうでいやだな~という気持ちがせめぎあったけど、English CommunicationとChocolate tastingどっちも大好きなのでいろんなEnglish Speakerの方と知り合うチャンスでもあるかなあと思ったので英語で感想を書いてみました。
手話はできないのですが、英語回じゃない方も行ってみたい。
