Allergens and Our Cookies

Our Mission: Indulgence Without Compromise

At Dream Cookies (KULA Venture G.K.), our mission is to bake the most delicious, rich American-style cookies in Japan—completely free from the top 28 allergens. After more than 200 recipe experiments combining innovation with premium ingredients from Kyushu, we have crafted cookies that everyone can safely enjoy together, regardless of food sensitivities.

The Monitor Program

To validate our recipes for our first three signature flavors—Indulgent Brownie, Sweet and Spicy Ginger, and Classic Shortbread—we are launching a limited sample program for food lovers. Because food safety is deeply personal to us, we want to be entirely transparent about our current kitchen setup:

What We Do

• Zero Allergen Inputs: We strictly exclude all 28 major Japanese-tracked allergens from our recipes.

• Dedicated Equipment and Supplies: All raw ingredients are processed using our own dedicated, allergen-free equipment and supplies, but are prepared and baked in a shared kitchen.

• Shared Kitchen Pre-Wash: We operate out of an inspected, licensed commercial kitchen where we are the primary users. Because it is part of an event space, it is occasionally used by catering companies that use allergens. Before our baking session begins, we follow a strict deep-cleaning protocol where we wash every surface, use our own separate sponges, cleaning supplies, and drying cloths, and steam-wash and dry the oven.

• Personal Commitment: Larry lives with a wheat allergy and Kumiko lives with a dairy allergy. We maintain these extreme cleaning standards because we eat these cookies ourselves.

What We Do Not Do (Our Current Limits)

• Shared Facility: The licensed kitchen we rent is a shared space used at other times of the year by a catering company.

• No Institutional Certification: While we do our best, our pre-launch batches are not yet batch tested or formally certified by an independent third-party laboratory.

Is This Batch Right for You?

We want to ensure you know exactly what to expect from these initial preview boxes so you can make the best choice for your health and lifestyle.

This run is ideal if you:

• Want to enjoy a rich, premium dessert made entirely without wheat, dairy, eggs, or any of the other 28 common ingredients often tied to food sensitivities.

• Are choosing to cut back on or avoid wheat and dairy in your daily life, but are tired of hard, dry alternatives and want an authentic, high-quality treat.

• Love trying new foods made with carefully sourced local ingredients and want to give us honest feedback to help us perfect our cookies.

Please wait for our next release if you:

• Experience severe, immediate, or life-threatening physical reactions to trace, microscopic, or airborne amounts of wheat, dairy, eggs, or soy.

• Require your food to be prepared in a dedicated facility that has never handled common allergens, or require independent laboratory safety verification before eating.

⚠️ Important Safety Note: If your body requires a 100% dedicated space to stay safe, we respectfully ask that you skip this preliminary run. Your safety is our absolute priority.
