"Dark milk" notation started from this time
Block type that you can enjoy the familiar and changing flavor
When you put it in your mouth, it melts smoothly and the rich taste spreads. The sweetness and mellowness of the milk stand out in the slight bitterness.
The scent is as sweet as flowers and tea. Matching the richness of cacao, you can enjoy a refined, gentle yet definite flavor. There is no habit, so combine it with your favorite drink such as coffee, tea, or green tea. Recommended for relaxing time.
The sweetness of the scent may make you feel sweeter than it really is.
In commemoration of the release of this new work, the Meiji era will hold an announcement event jointly with the Peruvian Embassy. The Peruvian ambassador presented a letter of appreciation to the Meiji era, which supports local farmers in the cultivation and fermentation of cacao beans.

It's not just Peru. As "Mage Cacao Support (MCS)", the Meiji era supports producers through cultivation and fermentation method guidance and installation of agricultural equipment in cacao producing countries such as Ecuador, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, and Ghana.
This will solve the supply shortage caused by the increase in chocolate consumption worldwide and aim to improve the environment for producers. It is said that the idea is to "make everyone involved in chocolate happy."
The deepening world of Meiji The Chocolate. Please enjoy the new work.
Finally released on October 3rd!
