Miki'S Chocolate

To all our friends,
After considerable umming and aahing, we have decided to return to Japan. Sadly, this means we will no longer be able to keep you supplied with our lovely chocolates.
We are taking all our equipment and - more importantly - know-how with us in the hope that we will one day be able to carry on our craft in the Land of the Rising Sun.
... Thank you all so much for your generous support. The last few years have been a marvellous adventure, though none of it would have been possible without you - our friends.
