KOHO Launches Flagship Location in Waikiki and Unveils Exclusive Holiday Treats 

HONOLULU, HI (December 6, 2024) – KOHO, the premier line of island-inspired artisanal chocolates and the newest brand in the Hawaiian Host Group (HHG) portfolio, is proud to announce the opening of its flagship location at the Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki. Located at 2233 Kalakaua Ave., Ground Floor, Building B, this new store invites locals and visitors to indulge in the finest chocolates crafted in Hawai‘i.  

As part of the esteemed Hawaiian Host Group, which also includes iconic sister brands Mauna Loa and Hawaiian Host, KOHO represents the pinnacle of luxury and innovation in the portfolio. Based in Honolulu, KOHO reflects the spirit and beauty of Hawai‘i through its exceptional confections. 

  

This year, KOHO’s holiday collection is headlined by the Holiday Explorer Green 12-Piece Assorted Bon Bons, presented in an exclusive emerald-hued box. Each box features an array of carefully crafted bon bons, including Peppermint Mocha Caramel, Gingerbread Caramel, Kona Coffee Caramel, Guava Caramel, Liliko‘i Caramel, and Hawaiian Sea Salt Caramel. Made with locally sourced Hawaiian cocoa and other premium ingredients, these bon bons offer a delightful taste of Hawai‘i.  

Another standout item in the collection is the Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts Limited Edition Red Box - Milk 5.5oz. Perfect for gifting, these chocolate-covered macadamias are crafted with 100% Hawaiian macadamias grown on the Big Island and layered with 38% Hawaiian cacao using a traditional panning method. Presented in a sophisticated limited-edition red box, this treat combines elegance and the richness of Hawai‘i’s finest ingredients.  

“We’re thrilled to open our permanent location at Royal Hawaiian Center, sharing the spirit of Hawai‘i through our handcrafted chocolates,” says KOHO Managing Director Theresa Tuxhorn.
