The "Jewel Pickles" from the original brand "DOLLIE," currently sold on the official online shop "FUREAI" operated by the Ai Group (which provides wedding and funeral services), will be exhibited at the "Iwataya Teiban Collection" held at the Iwataya Main Store (Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City).

This event is a popular department store-hosted exhibition featuring products carefully selected by buyers from around the world, proposing the "future standards" of lifestyle goods. Our company will be exhibiting during PART 2, which runs from Wednesday, April 15, 2026, to Monday, April 20, 2026, where we will feature our "Jewel Pickles."

Exhibition Details: DOLLIE "Jewel Pickles"

At this exhibition, we will feature the "Jewel Pickles" from our original brand, "DOLLIE."

"Jewel Pickles" are pickles crafted with meticulous attention to each ingredient, bottled with vibrant vegetables and fruits to create a beauty reminiscent of precious gems. They are characterized by their translucent visual appeal and a gentle flavor that highlights the natural essence of the ingredients. They are popular not only as a dish to brighten up a dining table but also as gifts.

Furthermore, from the unique perspective of a company that operates wedding venues, we have developed these flavors by incorporating the sensibilities of a chef pâtissier, offering a new culinary experience that transcends the conventional concept of pickles.

"Jewel Pickles" have been recognized for their uniqueness and high quality, including being featured at the "Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan," receiving a Gold Award at the "OMOTENASHI Selection 2025," and winning the 2025 Good Design Award.

At the venue, you can see and purchase these pickles, which are as beautiful as jewels and make the most of the ingredients' natural charm, for yourself or as gifts.

In addition to "Jewel Pickles," we also plan to sell DOLLIE's bonbon chocolates and terrine chocolates (with some samples available). Furthermore, Koichi Midorikawa, the chef pâtissier behind the DOLLIE brand, is scheduled to visit the venue on Wednesday, April 15, Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19.
