Mokable, the groundbreaking culinary creation made from micro-ground coffee beans, is about to disrupt the food industry as an innovative product that can be used with great versatility across the food and beverage space as an ingredient, enjoyed on its own or as a chocolate alternative. Born in Japan and proudly crowned the winner of the prestigious 2024 JFEX Innovation Award, Mokable is not just a product; it’s a movement that embraces flavor, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
Mokable officially kicks off the North American launch in Toronto — just ahead of Valentine’s week, the peak of chocolate indulgence. Mokable (branded as “CAFEXLATE” in Japan) will be available at select restaurants and bars for the first time in North America, with plans to launch Mokable in the U.S. and Europe in the near future.
Mokable: A Game Changer in Gastronomy
Mokable (pronounced “Moke-Ah-Bull”) tackles two pressing issues head-on: the inefficient use of coffee beans and the sustainability challenges within the coffee industry. Traditional coffee preparation discards up to 70% of its aroma and flavor.
Mokable transforms whole coffee beans into a much more palatable micro-ground form that captures every rich note and aromatic nuance. By blending premium specialty coffee beans with cocoa butter, Mokable achieves a smooth, versatile texture that shines in both sweet and savory dishes and cocktails.
“We are so excited to introduce Mokable to North America. We launched in Japan in June and we have been overwhelmed by the positive reception and overwhelming demand already,” says Akinori Itoyama, founder of Mokable
An Ethical Choice for a Sustainable Future
Mokable isn’t just a delicious choice; it’s also a champion of sustainability. By sourcing beans from small farmers in Nicaragua and Ethiopia, Mokable supports ethical practices that empower underpaid coffee producers, ensuring fair compensation and fostering local economies. The brand proudly collaborates with women-led farms in Nicaragua, celebrating the strength and resilience of women in agriculture.
Mokable Debuts with Two Exquisite Flavors: Roasted and Fruity
ROASTED: Sourced from Nicaragua’s Santa Ana Farm, renowned for its UTZ certification and hand-picked cherries, this blend boasts deep roasted notes and a rich, full-bodied flavor.
FRUITY: Featuring Yirgacheffe G1 beans from Ethiopia’s small-scale farms, this flavor embodies vibrant fruity and floral notes, cultivated with sustainable practices and natural processing methods.
A Culinary Adventure Awaits in Toronto
Toronto celebrated for its culinary diversity and innovative gastronomy, is the first North American city to showcase Mokable. From February 3–16, 2025, MICHELIN-starred/recommended and award-winning chefs and mixologists will feature Mokable in unique dishes, desserts, and cocktails at some of the city’s most acclaimed venues.
As Mokable is not yet available for retail purchase, this exclusive Toronto debut presents an unparalleled opportunity for culinary enthusiasts. Guests who order a Mokable dish or cocktail at participating venues may even receive a limited complimentary sample.
