About the Raw Chocolatier Association

Since its founding in 2022, the Raw Chocolatier Association has continued to operate as the world's first association specializing in raw sweets and raw chocolate.

In 2019, we launched the "Raw Sweets Planner Course" to train raw sweets professionals, and in 2022 we will start the "Raw Chocolate Meister Course."

Professionals who have mastered these skills are called "Law Chocolatiers®︎," and we produce experts with world-class skills and knowledge.

It all started with one daughter.

He was hospitalized with severe burns, and was no longer able to eat or laugh, becoming increasingly emaciated.

At that time, my daughter started munching on some of the character chocolates that her mother had brought.

"My daughter, who couldn't eat anything, ate it even though it had sugar and coloring."

The joy I felt at that moment gave me the determination to confront food.

This is where I began to explore food, and as I continued my research, I discovered that chocolate may be beneficial for skin regeneration.

Since then, we have continued to hone our unique manufacturing methods and techniques while taking advantage of the wonderful qualities of raw chocolate.

The unique techniques of a raw chocolatier

The raw chocolate provided by the association values the following characteristics:

  • Proprietary tempering and coloring technology

  • A manufacturing method that pursues a smooth mouthfeel

  • Ingenuity to bring out the beauty and functionality of the ingredients themselves

These technologies are supported by many people as being unique in the world, and are the driving force behind attracting people who want to learn them.

Global Environmental Responsibility

We value the use of organic ingredients, the promotion of fair trade, and the selection of reusable resources.

We aim to develop a food culture that can be passed on to the next generation, while always being mindful of the environment, so that the future of those who make and use our products will be sustainable.

Women's participation and job satisfaction

Each person has different personalities and potential.

The association provides a place where everyone can thrive in their own way, regardless of gender or background, and supports increasing satisfaction in their work as a life's work.

Health Initiatives

We are also participating in the "Smart Life Project" and working to extend healthy life expectancy.

We actively promote activities that contribute to the health of society as a whole through the four pillars of diet, exercise, health, and smoking cessation.

Achieving the SDGs through partnerships

The Raw Chocolatier Association values creating new value by collaborating with a variety of fields and organizations.

We are expanding our social contribution activities centered on food in order to realize a sustainable society.
