Where there was formerly a chocolate shop “Joel Durant” located in Ginza, there are now new chocolate shops “Rinaldini” and “Nicolas Charles.” Right after both shops opened in January and February, I tried to visit there couple times, but it was always packed and I saw many people wait a long line to get in, especially weekend. I almost give up visiting there until I don’t see the long line.
Finally, I could walk into “Rinaldni” a few weeks ago, and one of a shop staff who used to work for Joel Durand remembered me and we chatted for a while. Now they are offering 8 kinds of flavors and I could try some samples. I wanted to buy a box of chocolates, but I changed my mind when I checked the price. I allowed myself to buy three pieces of chocolates and the chocolates I got were Lemon, Orange and Caramel. Lemon peel, Orange peel and toffee bits were hidden inside for each chocolate. According to the staff, Rinaldini has won the first place in the ice cream competition couple times, and they will start offering his gelato from this summer. I can’t wait to have it.
