Introduction to GREEN DOLCE

In response to the pressing issue of food waste, Kuradashi Co., Ltd., a company committed to social good, has embarked on an innovative journey through its latest product launch. From July 14, 2025, through FamilyMart Online, customers can reserve a limited-edition collaboration box featuring the delectable 'GREEN DOLCE' sweets. This initiative not only delights the palate but also addresses the critical problem of food waste in Japan.

The Need for Change

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Japan generates about 21 million tons of food waste annually, of which 4.26 million tons comprise perfectly edible food discarded as food loss. But that’s not all; there exists a vast amount of edible ingredients that are discarded before even reaching the market. This hidden food waste includes irregularly shaped vegetables and unused byproducts, presenting a unique opportunity for transformation.

What is GREEN DOLCE?

The 'GREEN DOLCE' brand signifies a culinary response to this hidden food waste. By collaborating with esteemed pastry chefs who have won accolades at international competitions, Kuradashi has successfully transformed these overlooked ingredients into extraordinary sweets. The concept is simple yet profound: create delicious confections that are not only enjoyable but also contribute to a sustainable future.

Special Collaboration Box

The collaboration box available at FamilyMart Online features an assortment of two popular sweet selections from a previous Kuradashi offering: the VERT collaboration and the amazoonia collaboration. Both sets have garnered stellar reviews for their creativity and taste.
