Nourish your body, mind and soul with allergen-friendly sweets

In 2024, Hata's Hamper (Ha-Ha) participated in Expat Expo Tokyo and was introduced to many products, including the sweets by Atelier TiDANEFA. Ha-Ha was impressed by how irresistibly delicious the sweets were. And the story behind their creation was equally amazing! 

~ Allergen-friendly sweets ~

Hirata-san suffered from food allergies for many years. Her experience motivated her to create allergen-friendly sweets for everyone. Her passion for sweets also led her to hold French pastry classes for like-minded sweets lovers.

~ Delivering the authentic taste of France ~

Because of her fascination with French pastries, Hirata-san studied pastry-making in France, and obtained the Diplôme de Pâtisserie from Ritz Escoffier Paris Culinary Institute (L’Ecole Ritz Escoffier). She then trained as a pastry chef in authentic French restaurants in Paris including one-Michelin-starred Restaurant Espadon at Hotel Ritz, fine-dining restaurant Le Taillevent, and the bakery, Pâtisserie de l'Eglise.

~ Bringing her love for sweets to Japan ~

After returning to Japan, Hirata-san could not work in the food industry for more than ten years due to the worsening of her atopic dermatitis. Fortunately, she found work at a confectionery school. While teaching a class on food allergies, she began to research on vegan sweets based on macrobiotic principles.

In 2013, she launched TiDANEFA, a brand of natural sweets meticulously crafted from 100% plant-based ingredients that were comforting for the body and mind. She also offered classes to teach the macrobiotic concept and share her sweets-making process. In 2021, she opened Atelier TiDANEFA in Machida, Tokyo.

~ Sharing the joy of making sweets ~

Hirata-san has always wanted her customers to enjoy the process of making sweets. In line with her vision, Hata's Hamper is excited to offer a canelé DIY kit that allows customers to create and enjoy their own freshly-made canelé (a classic French pastry which is also one of Hirata-san’s signature sweets) at home.

Don’t miss this opportunity to try Atelier TiDANEFA’s variety of healthy sweets crafted with care and happiness!
