Meiji introduces an innovative way to experience the delicious taste and joy of cocoa with the launch of “Meiji The Cacao for DRINK.” This drinkable chocolate transforms traditional chocolate into a liquid form, allowing the aroma to be more pronounced than in its solid state, while also softening any bitterness. The result is a versatile beverage that can be enjoyed at different temperatures.
Designed in easy-to-melt small cubes, “The Cacao for DRINK” makes it effortless for anyone to create a rich and aromatic drinkable chocolate. The product comes in three distinct flavor profiles—Nutty, Floral, and Fruity—each offering a unique sensory experience that evolves with temperature.
A Brand Evolution: From “The Chocolate” to “The Cacao”
In October 2024, Meiji’s “The Chocolate” rebranded as “The Cacao” to expand its offerings beyond chocolate, focusing on the diverse pleasures of cocoa. This new brand continues Meiji’s dedication to delivering the finest cacao flavors by emphasizing the bean’s origin, fermentation, and craftsmanship.
