Melty Peace Chocolate Band

We would like to express the deepest sympathies to those who lost their lives in the recent Noto Peninsula earthquake, which had its epicenter in the Noto area of Ishikawa prefecture. We would also like to express the sincere gratitude to everyone who is working hard to support for the disaster-stricken areas.

 

―　Message from Q-pot.　―

As Q-pot., what can we do now? From the Q-pot. Melty Ribbon Project, a donation project that started with Q-pot.'s brand concept of “spreading a chain of happiness and smiles all over the world”, we have decided the sale of Peace Chocolate Band from the end of January.

To save as many lives as possible; 

to have as many people as possible receive the supplies they need; 

to return to a normal life where we can live with peace of mind as soon as possible.

Q-pot., together with all of you, we hope to be able to help those affected by the disaster.

Since that we are unable to go to disaster-stricken areas and provide direct support now, and we believe that there are various ways of support available, but if you agree with our project, we would appreciate your support.

Let's wear the Melty Peace Chocolate Band, express our thoughts to the victims of the Noto Peninsula Earthquake, and join together to support their recovery as soon as possible with one heart!

＜Melty Peace Chocolate Band＞

The design of pieces of chocolate represents the meaning of Peace(=Piece).

Even the power of each individual may be small, it can become a great power if we are together, and we can warm the hearts of those who have been closed off due to deep sadness and despair, and heal the hearts of all those affected by the disaster even if just a little. The Melty Peace Chocolate Band was born from such thoughts.

In addition to bitter chocolate, seven colors including strawberry chocolate and mint chocolate and others will be available as planned.

―　Designer Message　―

I would like to express the deepest sympathies to those who lost their lives in the recent Noto Peninsula earthquake, which had its epicenter in the Noto area of Ishikawa prefecture. I would also like to express the sincere gratitude to everyone who is working hard to support for the disaster-stricken areas.

 I spent several years of my childhood living near the Sea of Japan in Ishikawa prefecture. When I think about my beloved Ishikawa and Noto, where I have so many happy memories, my heart hurts and it’s unbearable.

Although I am currently unable to go directly to the disaster-stricken areas to provide support, which makes me feel frustrated, but I am thinking that there is something I can do to help, and I am starting to take steps to provide support to everyone as soon as possible.

Although aftershocks occur continuously and the situation remains unpredictable, we hope that the disaster victims who have been forced to evacuate in the intense cold will be able to find some peace of mind as soon as possible.

Q-pot. will continue to provide as much support as possible, and we pray for the pray for the safety of everyone in the affected areas and for the earliest possible recovery and reconstruction.
