Delicious single origin real hot chocolate with oat milk as an option. I really enjoyed the music too, which was at the perfect level. Whilst the interior was good, I personally felt there was just something slightly off about it, I can't say why though. The staff were very friendly, polite and accommodating.

For chocolate lovers, this is a must-visit spot in Shirahama. The staff are very helpful. They let us taste all of the chocolate varieties before making our purchase. The shop has seating where you can rest and have a chocolate-based drink or snack.

Super delicious shop. I went there today and asked the owner what his favorite drink was. He recommended me the hot chocolate mocha it was delicious. I loved it that it wasn’t too sweet and not too herb. Just perfect. Bought a cookie that looked exactly like the emoji - just bigger in size. It was very good. Amazing chocolate. Plus I had to do a phone call and the owner - who speaks very good English - let me borrow his mobile and make the call. Thank you so much Chocolate Company! 10/10

Delicious and friendly staff. Several options for your chocolate beverage, and they let you sample several chocolates before deciding. Few choices for cakes, but I think it is better to have few solid choices that be overwhelmed with too many
