Chocolatexture: 9 Bricks Of Chocolate That Represent Japanese Words For Texture
When Japanese designer Oki Sato was nominated for Designer Of The Year by Maison et Objet, a French design show, he was asked to rethink the concept of chocolate and to create something new. He decided to explore how different textures of chocolate help us perceive its taste.

Oki created “Chocolatexture,” a collection of 9 cubic 26mm bricks of high-quality chocolate. Each brick assumes a shape that illustrates 1 of 9 expressions used in the Japanese language to describe different textural qualities. “While the raw materials are identical, the distinctive textures create different tastes,” notes the designer, who is the head of the Tokyo and Milan-based design studio Nendo.

Take a look at these tiny beauties and think about how texture influences your own perception of taste.









“tsubu tsubu” – a word for small bits or drops


“sube sube” – smooth edges and corners


“toge toge” – sharp pointed tips


“zara zara” – granular like a file


“goro goro” – cubic, with many edges


“fuwa fuwa” – soft and airy with many tiny holes


“poki-poki” - a delicate frame or structure


“suka-suka” – a hollow cube with thin walls


“zaku-zaku” - makes a crunching sound, like when you step on ice

D-Day Rations: How Chocolate Helped Win the War

Seventy years ago, more than 160,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy during the D-Day invasion. And while we all know that day served as a huge turning point for the Allied cause, you probably haven’t thought much about what those soldiers carried with them to eat during and after the invasion. Food had to be lightweight, nutritious and very high in energy: after all, these men were about to invade Nazi-occupied land. As it so happens, the one substance that could fulfill all those requirements was a very unlikely item– a Hershey’s chocolate bar.

The Hershey Chocolate company was approached back in 1937 about creating a specially designed bar just for U.S. Army emergency rations. According to Hershey’s chief chemist Sam Hinkle, the U.S. government had just four requests about their new chocolate bars: they had to weigh 4 ounces, be high in energy, withstand high temperatures and “taste a little better than a boiled potato.” The final product was called the “D ration bar”, a blend of chocolate, sugar, cocoa butter, skim milk powder and oat flour. The viscous mixture proved too thick to move through the normal chocolate bar manufacturing set up at the Hershey plant, so initially each bar had to be packed into its 4-ounce mold by hand.

As for taste, well – most who tried it said they would rather have eaten the boiled potato. The combination of fat and oat flour made the chocolate bar a dense brick, and the sugar did little to mask the overwhelmingly bitter taste to the dark chocolate. Since it was designed to withstand high temperatures, the bar was nearly impossible to bite into. Most men who ate it had to shave slices off with a knife before they could chew it. And despite the U.S. Army’s best efforts to stop the men from doing so, some of the D ration bars ended up in the trash. Later in the war, Hershey introduced a new version, known as the Tropical bar, specifically designed for extreme temperatures of the Pacific Theater. By the end of the war, the company had produced more than 3 billion ration bars.

But “Hitler’s Secret Weapon,” as many infantrymen referred to the chocolate bar, was hardly the only candy in the D-Day rations. Candy was an easy way to pep up the troops, and the quick burst of energy provided by sugar was a welcome addition to kit bags. Along with the D rations, troops received three days worth of K ration packs. These were devised more as meal replacements and not sustenance snacks like the D rations, and came complete with coffee, canned meats, processed cheese and tons of sugar. At various points during the war, men could find powdered orange or lemon drink, caramels, chewing gum and—of course —more chocolate. Along with packs of cigarettes and sugar cubes for coffee, the K ration packs provided plenty of valuable energy for fighting men.

Perfectly Edible Chocolate Bars That Look Like Pieces Of Art...
Mexican boutique Unelefante recently released original chocolate bars that look like they’ve been covered with real melted crayons and splashes of paint. The vivid colours of these chocolate bars are a real feast for the eyes. The chocolate will also probably be a great joy for one’s stomach as well, for these bars were made by some of the finest cocoa producers in Colombia – Luker.

The chocolate bars are called “Pollock,” after the famous painter of the same name. They are 54% cocoa, and the expressive splashes of paint and melted crayons are hand-painted with dyed cocoa butter. The other series of bars, called “The Secret Garden,” is a 65% cocoa delicacy decorated with crystallized flower petals, cardamom, and pieces of dried apricots and pistachios.
