Not too long ago, eager entrepreneur and serious chocoholic Raul Matias opened Machiavelli Chocolatier in Glorietta 4. Named after his favorite author, Machiavelli's creations aim to marry Asian flavors with traditional European chocolates. The result? A delectable range of bite-sized chocolates blocks that feature flavors like the classic Grand Marnier, Purple Yam Yum (ube), Guava Asia, Yema de Manila, and Lychee Noir.

If 'silky' and 'melts in your mouth' are your preferred adjectives when describing your kind of chocolate, we suggest that you head to the Royce' kiosk nearest you and grab as many Nama Chocolates as you can afford. Velvety smooth and highly sensitive to temperature, Nama chocolates are fine mixtures of quality chocolate and cream. They're incredible; we can't help but think that Nama chocolates are Japan's best gift to the world, next to sushi.
