A Passion for Chocolate

Shunsuke Saegusa, Chocolatier Chocolate lovers flock to the shop of Shunsuke Saegusa in the business district of Tokyo for his meticulously crafted "bean to bar" confections. He brings in the finest cacao beans from growing regions across Africa, Asia and South America. Then, he painstakingly works out the roasting time and temperature that will best express the distinctive flavor profile of each bean. Saegusa began his career as a patissier and operated a chain of cake shops, before a life-changing encounter sent him plunging into the world of chocolate-making. At age 57, he closed his patisseries and dedicated the rest of his life to creating "the ultimate chocolate". For generations, chocolatiers have sought to coax new flavors from chocolate. Saegusa's own quest takes him to a Caribbean island 14,000 kilometers away from Japan -- is that where he'll find the key to the ultimate chocolate…?
