■ Two New Products from Our First Collaboration with "Ginza Cozy Corner"!
Ginza Cozy Corner is a popular confectionery store founded in Ginza, Tokyo, in 1948, and currently operates approximately 400 stores, mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area. They have long been loved by all generations for their diverse product lineup, including their popular jumbo cream puffs, a wide variety of cakes, baked goods, and chocolates.
For this first collaboration with Ginza Cozy Corner, we have recreated the flavors of their immensely popular "Strawberry Shortcake" and "Jumbo Cream Puff (Whip & Custard)" as ice cream.
"Strawberry Shortcake Sandwich" is designed to represent the taste of the store's No. 1 best-selling product. It features a moist, tender cake dough reminiscent of sponge cake, sandwiching a light, fluffy, and rich milk-flavored whipped ice cream. Inside, we have included a ripe strawberry sauce made with strawberry puree, allowing you to easily enjoy the luxurious satisfaction of a shortcake alongside a cool, melting texture.
"Waffle Cone Jumbo Cream Puff" is a luxurious two-tone swirled waffle cone ice cream inspired by the taste of the store's signature "Jumbo Cream Puff (Whip & Custard)," which has sold over 900 million units. We have combined custard ice cream, which highlights the aroma of Madagascar vanilla beans and the richness of eggs, with whipped ice cream that incorporates vanilla extract for a light mouthfeel and a solid, creamy milk richness.
We hope you take this opportunity to enjoy these flavors, which taste as if you are eating the popular sweets from "Ginza Cozy Corner."
■ Supervision Comments from "Ginza Cozy Corner"
The flavors of the Jumbo Cream Puff and Strawberry Shortcake have been turned into ice cream with a level of reproduction that exceeded our expectations. This collaboration would not have been possible without the technical prowess of the manufacturer!
As the hot season approaches, we hope this will be a catalyst for people to love Ginza Cozy Corner's products even more. Please be sure to give them a try!
