Chateraise Secret of the taste.

Let’s have a close look at the sweets that bring happiness to everyone.

Hakushu mineral water, milk, eggs and seasonal fruits: nature provides such a variety of ingredients to our factory located in the middle of a forest in Yamanashi prefecture.

Do you know where Châteraisé products are made? This red-roofed building surrounded by lush forest is Chateraise Hakushu Factory. It is here 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.

After 30 years of research, we have established A SAFE AND SECURE CONFECTIONERY PRODUCTION SYSTEM

The delight of the taste of nature,
The delight of thinking about people

Châteraisé’s commitment

Wellbeing of our customers is our priority.
That’s why we use more natural ingredients, and offer our products at the most affordable prices.
We want to be a confectionery loved by all customers – with this wish in mind, we at Châteraisé are producing our products.

Farm Factory System

We purchase fresh ingredients such as eggs, milk and fruits directly from local contract farms and produce our products in the region. “Farm Factory” is how we call this ingredients-focused production system.
Sourcing ingredients directly from farmers, making products in our own factories and delivering them straight to our stores across Japan, without involving wholesalers – this unprecedented scheme was launched in 1985 and revolutionized the traditional distribution system, defying what was taken for granted back then.

Today, the system has evolved to the next level, allowing for co-development of new ingredients with farmers and production of safe products traceable back to the farms.
Great taste and affordable price, accompanied by food safety. Backed by our Farm Factory system, we will continue to deliver happiness to our customers.
