Although Im drifting off strictly dark chocolate here, but I personally like their Tranquility one (milk choco + lavendar), it is addictive! Have you tried the Lindt 99% btw? It's almost an experience in itself, they even include a guide on how to eat it with a diagram illustrating the flavours you should be feeling etc. Totally agree with the New Tree packaging and idea of being “healthy”.

The Meiji 99% I can handle in very small doses, but my usual bar is the 72%, with an occasional 86% thrown in for practice. Since arriving in Japan 15 years ago I've slowly but surely been weened off the typical American diet of excessively sweet stuff in favor of the more subtle Japanese confections. But now it appears I must brush up on my French. Interesting to find commentary about Japanese chocolate.

Very interesting, indeed. You could host a chocolate tasting, much like a wine tasting, looking for bouquet, texture, and so on. I daresay, I might enjoy that more. Cheers! Very interesting.

For my part, I know that "c'est un scandale", but I do prefer milk chocolate, specially when they have whole hazelnuts in them.I reserve dark chocolate for cakes. And now my reputation as a fine gourmet is dead... Interesting analysis.
