About Chocolatines
Chef Rieko Wada, a graduate of the French Pastry School, has travelled the world from Nepal to Costa Rica for decades and performed numerous blind taste tests to ensure that her line of decadent chocolates is the best that can be found.
In 2004, Wada started Sweet Endeavours, a luxury chocolate shop, from her home. The Japanese-born entrepreneur wanted to fulfill her mission of bringing joy to people through her culinary creations, and was able to achieve success through the online sale of her unique chocolates.
When walking into the Sweet Endeavours showroom, you are amazed at the detail of each piece and the high quality of the chocolate creations. From an Asian-French fusion selection of chocolate to ornate and fully edible stilettos in the “Chocouture” collection, you will find the perfect item for those with the most discerning tastes.
Wada continues to fulfill her mission by creating visually appealing and sensually appetizing chocolates with the integration of her Japanese heritage, interior designing background and world travel experiences. As Wada introduces new flavors and evolves the way the world views chocolate, she receives numerous awards and recognition. In 2010, Rieko Wada was tapped to feature her collections at the 52nd Annual GRAMMY® Awards and the 82nd Annual Academy Awards.
