Michiko Marron-Kibbey grew up in Japan and the US, surrounded by a mix of cultures that years later have informed her creative practice in the art of chocolate. In 2015 she decided to pack her belongings and pursue her childhood dream of learning to make French pastries at the world-renowned school of culinary arts, Ferrandi. Upon returning to the U.S., Michiko immediately began conceptualizing Deux Cranes to create a unique space that marries her Eastern + Western cultural upbringings in the American chocolate + confectionary industry. Michiko is now in Los Gatos, where she and her team thoughtfully handcraft each product with a passion for the craft. Deux Cranes honors the Japanese and French customs while drawing inspiration from Michiko's diverse background and celebrates the blended cultures through her flavors that continue to enrich her life and the lives of those around her.
