Japan Crate

Asking young Japanese people what their favorite chocolate candy is would probably yield similar answers. More likely than not, they'd answer the long-selling chocolate brand, "Tirol Choco," also known as "Dagashi." This particular chocolate candy product is produced and sold by the Japanese food company with the same name, Tirol Choco Co., Ltd. Tirol Choco started as a company department developing Japanese chocolate products in late 1962. At first, they were producing small chocolate cube candies wrapped in vibrant, cute-looking, and full-of-color packaging that made them instantly popular among Japanese children. Now, as they grew far larger than they initially envisioned, Tirol Choco made it its mission to deliver joy across Asia through their tasty treats. Tirol Choco has that one specific goal in mind, perfectly encapsulated by its slogan: "One Tirol, One Smile, One Asia." It is so wholesome that we couldn't help but support their vision. So, what is Tirol Choco? Read on as we dedicate this article to highlighting this delicious box of treats from Japan.
