If 110 years of chocolate-making means anything, then Hirsinger can surely communicate this, directly and eloquently, to your tongue. This renowned French chocolatier has opened what is only its second shop in the world (Ginza Boutique, 1F Nishi-Gobangai Sakaguchi Bldg., 5-5-8 Ginza, Chuo-ku; 0120-983-506). There’s no factory-processed choco delights here. All of their offerings are handmade with painstaking precision and expertise, which means that only 300-500 of these premium chocolates are manufactured per day.
Referred to in North America as the “double down”—and known to be one of the fattest slabs of lard there is within the world of fast-food—the fearsome Chicken Fillet Double has launched in several Japanese KFC stores as of Feb 2. Instead of a bun, this “burger” boasts two chicken fillets performing the breadlike duty of containing two cheese slices, bacon, and mayo. Why use bread when you can use “chicken?” Warning: any form of strenuous physical activity after consumption could lead your heart to explode.
For those keen to know the answer to the joke “Why did the Mexican throw his wife off the cliff,” Bar Rage could be the best place to find the punchline. Patron Bar (1F Boss Bldg, 8-5-24 Ginza, Chuo-ku; 03-5568-8524) is the new venture to be launched by the mixologist, and will be serving only Patron tequila for three months. This is your chance to sup on the Mexican blue-agave derivative liquor in a variety of weird and wonderful forms. Stop by to try the Patron Perfect Margarita, the Paloma, the Hot Citronge Latte and the Perfect Royal. The answer is “tequila,” by the way.
