K-type chocolate company
Bean-to-bar craft chocolate in Shirahama
● Shirahama · Wakayama
K-type chocolate company is a factory and cafe in Shirahama that makes chocolate from sourcing and roasting cocoa beans. Its official introduction outlines sorting, separating shells from nibs, grinding cocoa with cane sugar and setting the chocolate in moulds. It is a stop for thinking about how a bar is made, not simply choosing the sweetest-looking dessert. Ask which products help explain differences between beans rather than assuming a scheduled factory tour is included.

Getting there with time to spare
The business address is 1197-18 Shirahama. Its official online-shop notice lists enquiry hours 9:00–18:00 and Wednesday closure. Enquiry hours are not the cafe’s last-order time, so check the present eating-in arrangements before a food-focused visit. If the older Square page does not load, use the current BASE shop and official Instagram rather than treating a broken old link as proof that the business has closed.

Choosing what suits your visit
The attached cafe officially introduces chocolate sweets and drinks. A chocolate bar and a cafe dessert may have different ingredients: the cocoa-and-cane-sugar production description does not establish every menu item as dairy-free or otherwise suitable. Check the specific product when choosing for dietary needs. For gifts, think about heat during the rest of your journey or storage in a car. Ask the shop about keeping and transporting your purchase before deciding how much to take.
