A way of life that connects what you love ~ Earth in play ~ | Felissimo Chocolate Museum
Oct 12, 2024–Apr 6, 2025 (UTC+9)ENDED
Kobe
Pastry chef Koyama Susumu will be featuring ten chocolate dinosaurs created specifically for this exhibition.
As a child, Koyama was engrossed in playing with insects and clay in nature, and after becoming a pastry chef he learned professionally about the properties of chocolate - how it hardens, melts, and how it briefly becomes clay-like before melting when crushed at high speed - and how to handle it.
However, Koyama says that he was able to create dinosaurs as a pastry chef without any special training, because his body remembers the things he loved, and that everyone has had childhood experiences that they were passionate about and that continue to influence them to the present.
This exhibition will allow visitors to see dinosaurs that Koyama has completed by kneading, as well as the masks he has favored making in recent years.
