100% Chocolate Cafe: For the chocoholic inside everyone

First things first: the 100% Chocolate Cafe is not actually made from chocolate. Retail design king Masamichi Katayama used normal building materials, in combination with graphics by Groovisions, to produce his incredibly stylish interior in browns and golds.

Corporate chocolatier Meiji Seika opened the space in 2004 to go beyond its normal mass market (and not always scrumptious) confectionery lines into more sophisticated realms.

The café's menu is full of desserts and drinks all based on the monolithic cocoa theme, such as cakes and fresh chocolates. And this may be the only place in Tokyo that offers variations on 'chocolate milk': in this case, Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania and Venezuelan Ocumare.

100% Chocolate Cafe is well worth a visit just for a coffee and a rich chocolatey dessert (and to be surrounded by an exclusively female customer base). But the assorted chocolates on sale, with their colorful and modernist package design color graded by country of origin, may also work as the perfect Tokyo souvenir.
