History
Régnié was founded in 1992 by Kyohei Hasegawa, who was born in Gero, Gifu Prefecture in 1961. After graduating from high school, Hasegawa worked at a long-established patisserie in Nagoya. At the age of 30, he established Yugen Kaisha Okashiya Régnié and opened a shop near the current location. In 1997, the shop moved to its current location to expand. In 2000, Régnié Dunord opened in Kita-ku, Nagoya. In 2003, Régnié Rive Gauche opened in the basement of JR Nagoya Takashimaya. In 2006, the main store was renewed and expanded to include a chocolaterie and café, becoming Régnié Grand Maison. In 2007, the Dunord store was renewed with a gift salon and chocolaterie. In 2018, Régnié received the highest rating, the Gold Tablet, at the Salon du Chocolat in Paris. In 2021, Régnié Bienvenue opened on the basement floor of Meitetsu Department Store main store.
