Transforming the "Uneatable" into "Delicious" Worldwide. andew, the World's Gentlest Chocolate Created by a Doctor, Envisions a Future of Food Where No One is Left Behind.

Our company endorses April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams. This press release represents the dream of "SpinLife Inc."

1. Delivering the World's First Complete-Nutrition Chocolate to Patients with Intractable Diseases "This chocolate is sweet and delicious!" We aim for a future where such ordinary conversations can be had anywhere in the world, with anyone. Our dream at andew is to "become a bridge for those who had given up on the 'joy of eating' due to illness, physical constitution, or physical condition."

2. Origin: Encounter with "Epidermolysis Bullosa," a Disease Causing Burn-like Pain in the Mouth The origin of this dream was the patients with "Epidermolysis Bullosa" that our founder met during his medical school days. Epidermolysis Bullosa is an intractable disease where a lack of proteins that bind the skin causes blisters and skin detachment throughout the body with even slight friction. The pain is not limited to the skin surface. The mucous membranes of the mouth and esophagus are also extremely fragile, leading to experiences like: "Eating potato chips feels like eating a board with thorns." "I want to eat. But it hurts too much to eat." "I want to enjoy meals with everyone, but I have to eat something different." Despite needing nutrition for the body to heal, the act of eating itself becomes painful. Faced with such a cruel reality, we began developing "the world's gentlest chocolate." We wanted to deliver "pain-free, nutrient-rich happiness" to children suffering from such severe pain.

3. The Science of "Gentleness." Three Values Provided by andew The world's gentlest chocolate offers three values: texture, nutrition, and communication. Ultimate Smoothness that Melts at Body Temperature: Designed to melt instantly in the mouth without needing to be chewed. It minimizes pain by not damaging the oral mucous membranes. Reference: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1346-8138.16955 Concentrated with Over 27 Types of Nutrients: Superfoods such as almonds, chia seeds, cacao, poppy seeds are blended with a unique recipe. We have achieved a complete food in chocolate form, allowing even those with poor appetites to get sufficient nutrition with a small amount. The Emotional Nutrition of "Eating the Same Thing": Not just for patients with Epidermolysis Bullosa, but also for those with eating disorders, elderly individuals with dysphagia, vegans, and everyone who wishes for good health. People with and without dietary restrictions can open the same package of chocolate and smile together. Eating is not just about getting nutrition. We believe in the power of chocolate to make people smile.

4. The Future Beyond the Dream: A World Where the Joy of Food Can Be Shared In 2026, we will take a further step forward, inspired by this April Dream. Our dream is not to let andew end as just a "chocolate brand." We aim to create a society where "safe eating options for everyone" are commonplace in hospital stores, nursing homes, school classrooms, and cafes worldwide. We want to create options that allow those who cannot enjoy the act of "eating," which should be equal for everyone, to feel "delicious." Furthermore, we will create a system where eating contributes to supporting patients with intractable diseases, establishing a sustainable support framework. Currently, we are selling special gift chocolates with packaging featuring drawings by patients with Epidermolysis Bullosa. https://andew.co.jp/products/andew_eb This is a step towards realizing a dream: creating a place for children with Epidermolysis Bullosa, who often face barriers to going to school or work, to express themselves. And where eating leads to support.

5. Finally We want to deepen understanding of Epidermolysis Bullosa, a disease not yet widely known, and together with everyone, create a society that recognizes food diversity. andew will continue to embody the world's gentlest approach.
