About the brand
We are developing foods, cosmetics, and miscellaneous goods containing CBD. It is designed to make CBD more accessible and easy to use.
CBD still has a strong impression of underground in Japan, but Flakes products pay attention to design as well as quality so that they can dispel that image.
All products are manufactured in Japan. Each lot is inspected by a third-party organization to confirm that it does not contain THC.
The products are sold at Isetan, Marui, Parco, Seibu, etc.

Commitment to the product
Who are supporting us?
According to a survey of Japan people, 1 in 5 people are "not rested by sleep" or "have some kind of insomnia". Before starting this business, I was in the IT industry for about 10 years, and most of my colleagues there had some kind of health problem. The causes are varied, but many are due to sleep deprivation and the resulting mental health issues.
I myself used to not get a good night's sleep, and after trying many solutions such as supplements, lifestyle modifications, and mindfulness, I was able to improve my health, but the road was quite difficult. In 2024-2020, I lived abroad, and during a business trip to Europe and the United States, I discovered CBD and learned that using CBD can improve sleep quality more easily and for everyone. At the time, I thought it would be difficult to roll out cannabis-derived CBD in Japan, but when I returned to Japan in 2020 and walked around town, I saw a sign for a CBD café. When I looked up the law, I learned that CBD is legal in Japan, so I decided to start a business.
We plan, manufacture, and sell CBD-infused foods, beverages, and cosmetics.
CBD is a cannabis-derived ingredient, so it cannot be said that the image is good in Japan. Therefore, by focusing on design and quality, we are trying to create products that can contribute to the popularization of CBD.
Commitment to the product
The ingredients used in the product are all extracted from cannabis, which is grown in Europe and the United States and has obtained organic certification. Regarding imports, we have confirmed that the raw materials are THC-free with permission from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
All products are manufactured at factories in Japan, and each lot is inspected by a third-party organization after manufacturing to confirm that it does not contain THC.
We do not use OEM standard companies, and all product specifications and designs are original to our company.
The main demographic is people in their 20s and 30s in urban areas, but there are also many customers over 50 years old. I have the impression that many people use it mainly as a measure against insomnia, PMS reduction, and menopause.
