《巧克力之最高境界》
说起《查理的巧克力工厂》这部电影，大家肯定并不陌生，美轮美奂的巧克力世界实在是难以忘怀，每一件事物均由巧克力制成，可以说那是巧克力迷的天堂。现在，一起来看看下面这双鞋子，找找它的特别之处在哪儿呢？
As we all know, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the fancy movie showed us an amazing tour of the chocolate world that everything was made of it, which’s a real paradise for chocolate lovers. And now, behold this brown leather shoes below, do you know why it’s so unique?
这一用巧克力制作的手工艺品为1:1实物原型，完美的复刻了皮鞋的各个细节，如皮革纹理、鞋垫、鞋带，甚至其车缝处都惟妙惟肖，实在是真假难辨。
Featuring perfectly replicated seams, soles, and shoelaces, as well as impressively realistic finish, these life-size chocolate shoes seem made of genuine brown leather.
该作名为“绅士的光辉”，出自日本巧克力大师Motohiro Okai之手，他专为日本大阪丽嘉皇家酒店制作L’éclat精品巧克力。如图所示，每双皮鞋长约26cm，均由巧克力制作而成，其中包括内垫与鞋带。作品一共出品了三款不同颜色的皮鞋，即淡褐色、深褐色和棕红色。更让人惊叹的是这些皮革的表面处理细节非常棒，这可是经过了无数次煞费苦心地调试与尝试所获得的成果。此外，每一双巧克力鞋还拥有自己的护理配件，例如闪闪发光的鞋拔，以及一罐护理霜，当然里面是满满的一罐已调好温的巧克力。
The “Gentleman’s Radiance” chocolate line is the creation of master chocolatier Motohiro Okai of Rihga Royal Hotel’s chocolate boutique L’éclat, in Osaka, Japan. Each leather show measures 26 centimeters (10.2 inches) in length and is crafted exclusively from chocolate, including the insole and laces. The shoes come in three different shades of brown leather – light, dark and red-brown – and have a really shiny finish which Okai achieved after a painstaking process of trial and error.
Each pair of life-size chocolate shoes comes bundled with shoe care accessories, including a shiny shoehorn made from chocolate and a jar of “shoe cream” that actually contains round disks of tempered chocolate.
正如一分价钱一分货，这么做工精良、品质非凡的工艺品其价格也是可以的——每双售价29,160日元（约RMB 1785.64元）。该作只有九双皮鞋可以购买，并且只接受预定哦。
The workmanship and attention to detail that went into creating the Gentleman’s Radiance chocolate shoes are best reflected by the obscene price tag of a pair – 29,160 yen (US$258.45). Only nine pairs will be made available for purchase, and only by reservation.
PS: 怎么样有童鞋想买吗？预定下，情人节那天或许正好可以送出礼物 ^_^
Anyone wanna buy this? Valentine’s Day ah? What a special gift it would be, so why not take the reservation, you probably could make it on time. 😀
PPS: 天冷了，给自己泡一杯热巧克力吧，借着它的柔情与丝滑，来融化那颗冰冻的心。
The coldness has settled down, and it’s time to make yourself a cup of hot chocolate. To melt your icy heart by its warmth balanced with smoothness.
