        <content>I just can't find the right kind of chocolate to make bonbons with. I mean French truffles, molds with hazelnut centers, all the kind of stuff I could make back home in Canada. I'm sick of only being able to find that really terrible, cheap, sugary faux-chocolate that they have all over the shelves during Valentine's day -- where can I get the real stuff? Valrhona couveture chocolate?

And how much is it gonna cost me?

Thanks!</content>

      <content>Cuoca carries Valrhona and other high quality chocolate for cooking. Cuoca is a store that specializes in all sorts of cooking supplies and ingredients. It's an excellent resource for those who love to bake. There are two locations in Tokyo - one in the B3 of Shinjuku Mitsukoshi Alcott, and one in Jiyugaoka. The home page, only in Japanese, is linked below:

      <content>Have you tried this site?

http://www.rakuten.co.jp/

If you search under &#12532;&#12449;&#12525;&#12540;&#12490;, you should find whatever Valrhona products your heart desires.

Personally, though, I'd rather simply fly to Paris and get my chocolate shopping done over there. </content>
