OUR STORY
Exquisite Desserts From Hokkaido, Japan Since 1998
Our story began in the beautiful canal city of Otaru, a heaven for artisans for centuries.Our founder, kawagoe’s vision was to make Otaru the home of Western-inspired but undeniably Japanese desserts.
In June of 1998, the first LeTAO bakery was opened in a majestic tower right at the heart of Otaru. When it came to naming the tower, our founder took inspiration from his explorations in France calling it La Tour Amitie Otaru - LeTAO - or The Amiable Tower of Otaru.
Every 10 seconds, someone enjoys a LeTAO product. 25 millions of our signature product, Fromage Double, have been sold globally.
The LeTAO Philosophy: Nostalgia meets Modernism.
Our aim is to make exquisite sweets that are a source of delight and happiness for all of our customers.
Just as our founder set out to do over 20 years ago, we continue the search for something new.
