Brand Overview | What is Age.3?
Age.3 was born originating from the sweets brand 'FRUITS SAND THREE' started in Kama City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
In 2023, we developed the 'deep-fried sandwich', a new sensation sweets combining low-carb fresh whipped cream and 'crispy-chewy' bread, and opened our first store in Ginza, Tokyo. Since then, we have expanded both domestically and internationally.
Currently, in addition to Japan, we have opened stores overseas in Shanghai, Sydney, Manila, and Dubai, continuing to grow globally as a sweets brand originating from Japan.
As inbound demand recovers, the demand for street food in tourist destinations is rising again.
Age.3, which provides a 'freshly fried' experience, is gaining support in tourist destinations worldwide due to its affinity with street-food culture.
Following this trend, we are opening 'Age.3 HIDA TAKAYAMA' as a new base to enjoy 'freshly fried' food in Hida Takayama, a tourist destination where you can experience Japan's street-food culture.
Produced by a head chef trained at Hotel Okura in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Fukuoka.
We value not only the quality of ingredients highlighted by simplicity, but also visual beauty, such as the placement of fruits and color balance. We pursue uncompromising sweets, from textures like melting in the mouth and chewiness, down to the calorie count.
