Chocoholics will love this new invention. A Japanese design firm called Nendo , working along side the pastry shop Tsujiguchi Hironobu, has created a new dessert that promises to become legendary. And not for its ingredients, but for its finishing touches: it comes accompanied by a little box of chocolate pencils and also includes a pencil sharpener. Guess what you’re suppose to do with the pencils? Just what you used to when you were a kid in school: you have to sharpen them so you can decorate your dessert with delicious, freshly made, chocolate shavings.
By creating these sophisticated pencils for the kitchen Nendo makes the point that a plate of food can be as beautiful as a painted canvas, it all depends on the presentation.
The case includes pencils in various shades, just like any box of pencils you’d buy at a stationary shop. The different is that, in this case, the shade is determined by the type of the cacao the pencil’s made of: black chocolate, milk chocolate, or white... All these years throwing out the shavings from the pencil sharpener, and now we find out how valuable they can be.
