For a limited time only, certified vegan Vego chocolate bars from Europe are available for purchase in Japan.

From the seller: “The Vego bar is different from most other chocolates available in Japan, because they are vegan, gluten free, organic, and fairly traded. They are made using whole hazelnuts, the finest chocolate and hazelnut paste. The result; a dreamy creamy hazelnut chocolate experience!

For the first time ever, they are available to purchase within Japan for a limited time only. That means once they are gone, they’re gone!

We tried the bars and found them to have the smoothness of milk chocolate, without any of the unpleasant chalkiness lower-quality chocolate can sometimes have. The whole hazelnuts inside were crunchy. The bars also melted perfectly so were good for cooking with.
