At each FamilyMart store, the third in a series using "Bean to Bar" chocolate "Ecuador Special" supervised by Chef Kenji Ujiie of Ken's Cafe Tokyo has appeared. Four types such as "Melty Chocolat" will be released sequentially from March 9th.

"Bean to Bar" chocolate is a chocolate that is manufactured through the process from cacao selection to completion. Under the supervision of Chef Kenji Ujiie of Ken's Cafe Tokyo, FamilyMart has teamed up with a chocolate factory in Ecuador, which is said to be the sacred place of cacao, to create a serious chocolate "Ecuador Special". It has been officially recognized by the Ambassador of the Republic of Ecuador to Japan as an effort to connect Japan and Ecuador and protect the cacao plantations in Ecuador, and its deliciousness is also endorsed.

"Ecuador Special" uses only Ecuadorian Ariba cacao. In order to protect the prosperity of cacao farmers, we are making sustainable efforts to protect the environment, such as purchasing cacao at a reasonable price and manufacturing chocolate in Ecuador to minimize transportation.
