I want to make raw chocolate that is good for the body and delicious.
It all started in 2008 when I was traveling in Canada and came across raw chocolate. I've always loved chocolate, and even when I was a student, I had chocolates in my bag, and even when I became a member of society, I had chocolates in my drawer. But gradually, I didn't like dairy products, and I couldn't eat them, even though I was fascinated by the beautiful chocolates I saw in the basement of the department store. At that time, I wanted to learn more about macrobiotics, so I went to a raw food restaurant in Canada at the time, and I ate raw chocolate for the first time. As a vegan eater, I was thrilled with the raw chocolate and raw cacao at that time. The senses are sharpened, and the oil and fat of cacao butter are not heavy and permeate the body smoothly, leaving a good aroma of cacao. However, to be honest, it was "not that good". I returned to Japan because I wanted to eat more delicious raw chocolate and make my own raw chocolate, took various chocolatier workshops, and made chocolate every day while working as an office worker. The more I made it, the more it was like a maze, but it was very fascinating, and I still love cacao. Ever since I was a child, I have loved beautiful things, and I believe that beautiful and beautiful things enrich people's hearts. We launched imalive because we wanted people to pick up beautiful, delicious, and body-friendly chocolate. I believe that my role as a chocolatier is to transform the cacao plant into something beautiful, delicious, radiant, and joyful to the mind and body with my own hands. I hope that the jewel-like brown luster chocolate will lead to the happiness of those who eat it, and I make it every day with all my heart while chewing on the happiness of making my own chocolate so that everyone can feel the charm of my beloved cacao to the fullest.
