Fermented Vegan Nama Chocolate "Urumi"

This is a dairy-free nama chocolate specializing in beauty and health, focusing on sake lees, a fermented food.

This exquisite, gently melting fermented nama chocolate is made using sake lees prepared by a female master brewer.

Putting aside terms like vegan, sake lees, and healthy, we've created a product that is simply a delicious food in its own right!

This is a sweet treat that you can enjoy in various ways, such as for tea time, as a dessert after meals, or for consuming fermented foods for beauty and health, allowing you to enjoyably stay healthy.

It also pairs wonderfully with alcoholic beverages!

Since a small amount is satisfying, it's also recommended for those on a diet!

Highly praised even by those who are hesitant about alcohol!
Rich and melting! Nama chocolate focused on fermentation.

Despite being dairy-free, nut-free, wheat-free, and white sugar-free, this is a rich chocolate confection made with luxurious, high-quality cacao.

The white chocolate portion uses carefully selected sake lees from Kita Shuzo, a sake brewery in Shiga, and the crisp texture of the rich cacao butter provides a nice accent.

The dark chocolate portion, while emitting a strong cacao aroma, has a milky, melt-in-your-mouth finish.

The two-layered chocolate creates an exquisite harmony woven from the gentle yet profound taste of Japanese sake and the rich deliciousness of chocolate.

Almost everyone who tasted it, regardless of age or gender, praised it, saying, "I was surprised by how delicious it was!"

Even those who dislike alcohol have given it high marks, describing it as having just the right flavor.

The sophisticated art of koji, the exquisite brewing of elegant sake.

Kita Shuzo, located in Higashiomi City where clear water flows from the Suzuka Mountains, is an indispensable part of this product's creation.

The sake born from the heart of Mayuko Kita, a rare female toji (master brewer) in Japan, is an art woven from the exquisite delicacy of brewing techniques and the profound flavor of koji.

The deeply flavorful koji, meticulously managed day and night and spun by the five senses of the brewers, spreads in your mouth and gently envelops your heart.

Even after more than 200 years, they continue to brew sake that is loved by everyone, upholding the unchanging "spirit of sake brewing." 

Lighthearted packaging inspired by Lake Biwa

The gift box, in muted aqua and pale gray, evokes the tranquil surface of Lake Biwa, and features the familiar Hareto-Keto logo.

The Hareto-Keto sun emblem, reminiscent of the setting sun sinking into the lake, is a design unique to Hikone, located on the east side of Lake Biwa (Kotō).

When you visit Hikone, Shiga, or its vicinity, please be sure to purchase it as a souvenir!
