Asian inspired bean to bar chocolate

Austin, Texas

kessho.com

KESSHŌ is a Japanese word meaning crystal,” a tribute to the crystalline structure of chocolate.

Founded in Shanghai in 2019 and now based in Austin, TX since 2023, KESSHŌ is built on the idea of infusing Asian-inspired flavors into our bean-to-bar craft chocolate.

Our chocolate bars have received multiple accolades from the International Chocolate Awards (ICA) and Academy of Chocolate (AOC), inspiring us to continue sourcing exquisite Asian ingredients to create a harmonious orchestra of flavors with fine single-origin cacao.

In addition to chocolate, we also craft small-batch gelato and baked goods, offering a full sensory experience rooted in quality and creativity.
