Iwate Welcomes the Ultimate Strawberry Treat

The highly anticipated Strawberry Choco, a specialist store dedicated to strawberry-covered chocolate delights, will make its debut at the Iwate 5 Kigen Gourmet Fest from May 2 to May 6, 2026. This exciting event, hosted at Aeon Mall Morioka, promises to be a must-visit for both local residents and visitors alike.

About Strawberry Choco

Founded by MARU Co., Ltd., a company based in Shibuya, Tokyo, Strawberry Choco is a flagbearer of Japanese craftsmanship and quality. With its roots in Harajuku and 33 branches across Japan's major cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, it has successfully captured the hearts of dessert lovers through social media, amassing over 50 million views across related videos.

The store's distinctive philosophy centers on sharing Japan's top-tier fruits with the world, particularly focusing on the exquisite taste of strawberries.

Unmatched Quality

Every detail in the creation of Strawberry Choco's products showcases a commitment to quality. The strawberries, known for their premium quality, are delivered daily, utilizing the expertise developed at Candy Apple, a well-known caramel apple specialist. This supply chain ensures an optimal sweetness and freshness that perfectly complements the rich chocolate coating.

Moreover, only the finest couverture chocolate, used by esteemed patisseries, is selected to enhance the natural flavors of the strawberries. This meticulous selection process helps to create a decadent experience, refined by dedicated temperature controls using imported machinery from Italy. This careful attention ensures that each bite delivers a smooth melt-in-your-mouth texture and an attractive sheen.

For the Iwate Gourmet Fest, the star product will be the Dark Chocolate Strawberry, garnering admiration and delight from those who enjoy rich, chocolatey flavors.
