Hokkaido, having a similar climate to Europe, was the perfect spot to start creating some delicious sweets. Chocolatier Masále uses forty to fifty kinds of carefully selected high quality chocolates from around the world! Fresh dairy products from Hokkaido are also to create their wares. Their chocolates are handmade and designed to appeal to the eyes as well as the tastebuds!
