Ta. This time, the theme was “Chocolat,” so the biggest challenge was finely adjusting the blend to match both chocolate and cookies. We also thought about complex things like how to make the coffee go well with both bitters and milk, and created a unique vanilla bean-like coffee. It took five months to commercialize the product, and many adjustments and tastings were made. We are very happy to be able to cooperate with Allied Coffee Roasters, a company that also has a factory in Yokohama. We hope that you can enjoy the “unwinding time” in your favorite style.

We set a flavor goal of creating a coffee that did not have a strong bitterness and had just the right amount of roasted aftertaste, and repeated trial production. During development, when paired with Chocolat Rich Milk, the sourness of the coffee sometimes interfered with the flavor of the milk. We had a hard time adjusting the flavor balance, such as [reducing acidity → making bitterness stronger], but in the end, we achieved a flavor goal of bringing out the deliciousness of the chocolate by using a roasting method that uses low and slow roasting. We were able to develop coffee in line with this. What is “Chocolat”

It continues to be made at its own workshop in Yokohama, and will celebrate its 21st anniversary in October 2024. Since 2007, we have changed our raw materials to Fair Trade certified chocolate, and since then we have continued to improve our recipes to create a delicious and easy-to-enjoy taste. In June 2023, “Chocolat 8 Pieces” won the Grand Prix of “Japan Food Selection,” Japan’s first food and ingredient screening and certification system by 23,000 food analysts. In December 2023, it was introduced in a magazine as a souvenir recommended by a famous hotel concierge, and has been introduced in many media. In addition to the online sales that have continued since then, Chocolat can now be purchased at physical stores mainly in Yokohama, at event venues, and through the “Furusato Nozei” campaign promoted by Yokohama City.
