Royce is a famous maker of chocolate and sweets in Hokkaido. A lot of local department stores have area fairs, such as Hokkaido & Okinawa, once or twice a year. This is when they bring in authentic foods and products from these areas.
One problem they have been running into is the authenticity of the vendors. Last year, a customer had bought a Hokkaido seafood bento (box lunch). It was so delicious that she was eager to eat it again in Hokkaido, she went to the address noted on her chopsticks wrapper only to find out that the restaurant didn't exist. To solve this problem, Hokkaido and other areas have been sending out specialists to check the types of vendors and quality of the products being sold.
Last year, Royce came out with this very rich chocolate pudding which sold at various convenience stores (I bought this one at Daily Yamazaki). This year, they have brought it back! 90 grams of heaven!! Now if they would only make it from dark chocolate...
