Meiji Milk Chocolate

An iconic brand in Japan for almost a century, Meiji Milk Chocolate is our flagship chocolate brand. Whether it's the classic chocolate bar, individually wrapped morsels, cubed or blocked, there's something sweet for everyone. Now a national brand, the comforting, rich, smooth taste of Meiji Milk Chocolate is never far away.

We Care About Our Ingredients

We create the delightful cocoa aroma by carefully pairing our selection of cocoa beans with the proper roasting techniques.

Our carefully selected rich, raw milk blended with cocoa creates an unforgettably smooth, balanced flavor.

We Support Farmers and Families in Ghana

We ethically and sustainably source premium cocoa beans used in Meiji Milk Chocolate primarily from the Republic of Ghana, the world's second-largest cocoa producer. Meiji has supported independent Ghanaian cocoa farmers and their children for more than ten years through donations that help build clean water wells, establish seedling centers, and provide art and chocolate-making classes.
