Fine Japanese Chocolates
ROYCE' was founded in 1983 in Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island. Quality, originality and surprise have been at the core of what we do, since our inception.
Origin Story
ROYCE’ originated out of a singular vision - to make the world’s finest chocolate. It all started out in a small warehouse in Hingashi-ku, Sapporo with just four people packing each chocolate bar by hand. The aroma of cookies baking in the small factory attracted neighbours, which, in turn, led to the opening and naming of the first shop as ROYCE’ Cookies.
From working out of a small confectionery production unit to building a chocolate factory, we have been committed to making indulgent confections that are unique and full of surprise.Our focus has always been on using exceptional quality ingredients and bringing consistency with every creation.
Produce Of Hokkaido
Located at the northern extremity of Japan, Hokkaido is a spacious island and is renowned for its diverse natural ecosystem and cold climate. Flowers in spring, lush greenery in summer, red leaves in autumn and snow in winter, ROYCE’ chocolate is made in a special place surrounded by the beauty and contrasts of all four seasons.
These favourable natural factors and our careful use of fresh local ingredients make our chocolates so rich and unique. Proudly made in Hokkaido, our chocolate is truly one of its kind.
