Proposal for Summer Reward Chocolates. "Hitorijime Sweets" Launches All 7 Products for Spring/Summer 2026

Eikodo Factory Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Ogaki City, Gifu Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Hiroyuki Mizukami) will launch a total of 7 products for spring/summer from its chocolate brand "Hitorijime Sweets," which is dedicated to rewarding oneself, starting Monday, April 6, 2026.

Generally, the demand for chocolate tends to decline in the summer. However, believing that the "time to indulge oneself with chocolate" exists regardless of the season, this series features product designs focused on flavors, ingredients, and eating styles that are easy to enjoy even in spring and summer.

By combining 5 SKUs of focused spring/summer limited products with 2 SKUs of year-round products that are also suitable for the spring/summer season, we propose a diverse range of options even in the hot season.

In addition to re-releasing "Hitorijime Sweets Refreshing Choco Mint," which was well-received in 2025, we will also launch a new product, "Hitorijime Sweets Mango Nut Salt," which incorporates salt and tropical ingredients, drawing attention as summer flavors.
