Cassolo (Toranomon, Tokyo) offers 'Fresh Tiramisu' using sustainable frozen strawberries 'Snow Berry' as 'shaved strawberries' until May 31 (Sun)!

Chef's value, a subsidiary of Creek & River Co., Ltd. (C&R) specializing in the food sector, operates the restaurant 'Cassolo'. Since 2025, Cassolo has been participating in the TORANOMON JUST RIGHT NEW FOOD project to develop sustainable foods. Chef Makoto Sato of Cassolo has developed a new menu, 'Snow Berry Fresh Tiramisu', which will be available at Cassolo for a limited time from April 1 (Wed) to May 31 (Sun), 2026.

[About the newly developed menu] Snow Berry Fresh Tiramisu This time, we are offering a fresh tiramisu where you can enjoy the marriage of smooth, rich cream and the sweet and sour taste of strawberries. The tiramisu uses XEN GROUP's Snow Berry, which remains aromatic even when frozen, thanks to uniquely developed freezing technology. It is a luxurious dish that lets you feel the arrival of spring in both appearance and taste through its sweet and sour shaved strawberries (900 yen including tax).

[About the ingredient used: 'XEN GROUP's Snow Berry'] This is a 'frozen strawberry' with a new texture that allows you to enjoy the original taste of the ingredient without preservatives. Since there are no ice granules (ice crystals), it can be processed even while frozen, and its aroma and texture overturn the conventional wisdom of 'frozen fruit', allowing you to enjoy seasonal deliciousness at any time. The uniquely developed cooling technology, Water Stability System (WSS), is a technology that brings various benefits by extending the freshness retention period in a temperature range that does not freeze by making the temperature of the food uniform, and by maintaining high quality even if it is frozen afterwards. https://xen-group.com/

[What is TORANOMON JUST RIGHT NEW FOOD?] This is a 'town-wide food project' that transmits the sustainability of food beyond 'deliciousness' through the provision of original menus that incorporate new ingredients and technologies through cooperation between restaurants and startups in the Toranomon and Nishi-Shinbashi areas. https://fooda.tokyo/tjrnf/

[Profile of Cassolo Chef Makoto Sato] Makoto Sato Started his career as a chef at 'Da Orto', an Italian restaurant in Nakameguro focused on organic vegetables. Later, he worked at 'Canoviano Tokyo', a natural Italian restaurant that does not use garlic or fresh cream, and 'Aroma Classico', a sister store of the two-Michelin-starred 'Aroma Fresca'. In 2022, he became the opening head chef of Cassolo.

[What is the restaurant 'Cassolo'?] 'Cassolo' is an Italian restaurant that supports the independent business opening, skill-up, and career-up of chefs. It opened in November 2022 as the first directly managed startup restaurant of Chef’s value. Named after 'Cassolo' (runway) where airplanes take off and land. It expresses the concept that it is a place where chefs who have taken on various challenges at this store can take off one after another, and at the same time, it is also a return place for them to continue flying together. Cassolo provides seasonal fish and meat, fresh vegetables, dishes prepared with attention to the four seasons, and an extensive wine lineup.
