Who Are We?
Do you know that Châteraisé products are made from Chateraise Hakushu Factory, a red-roofed building surrounded by lush forest. It is there that ice cream, cakes and traditional Japanese sweets are produced, using renowned Hakushu mineral water from the Southern Alps.
Besides Hakushu Factory, we also produce Châteraisé products at the Nakamichi and Toyomi Factories – all located in Yamanashi prefecture. It all started back in 1954, when a tiny store called “Amataro” opened in Kofu City. Its signature product, also called Amataro, was a sweet made with high-quality ingredients such as sugar and azuki beans in “Imagawayaki” (pancake-like patties filled with sweet bean paste). Amataro went on to become a big hit with customers.
Since then, the wish to “make truly delicious sweets using natural ingredients to make people happy” has always stayed with us as our number one principle.
