The dessert brand "FRUITS SAND THREE / Age.3" began in the small town of Kaga City, Fukuoka Prefecture in December 2023. It has now expanded to 5 stores in Japan and 5 stores in 4 international cities: Shanghai, Sydney, Manila, and Dubai, becoming a brand that draws crowds everywhere it goes. Amidst this global expansion, the summer-exclusive 'Acai Shaved Ice' can only be enjoyed at the Kaga store, where the brand was born. As summer truly arrives, we are once again delivering "a drink you can only find here."

A Summer Gift to the Town Where It All Began

Age.3 has expanded to 10 stores in 7 cities worldwide, starting with Tokyo's Ginza. However, it all began in the small town of Kaga, Fukuoka. Now that it has grown, the summer-exclusive 'Acai Shaved Ice' is offered from the Kaga store, which nurtured the brand. It's a unique drink, offered with gratitude to the town of its origin.

Acai x Nuts x Honey

A drink generously layered with acai, paired with fragrant nuts and honey. After enjoying it as is, you can customize it by combining it with fruits, nuts, and honey to your liking.

A Drink That Becomes a Reason to Visit

Kaga, Fukuoka is not a widely known tourist destination. That's precisely why the experience of "traveling to Kaga just for this drink" itself becomes a summer memory. Age.3 will continue to cherish the value that can only be delivered from its place of origin.

"The Origin of a Globally Expanding Brand" is Kaga, Fukuoka

FRUITS SAND THREE / Age.3 accelerated its store openings starting in December 2023 in Tokyo's Ginza. Currently, there are 5 stores in Japan: Ginza, Kaga, Asakusa, Harajuku, and Hida-Takayama, and 5 stores in 4 international cities: Shanghai, Sydney, Manila (2 stores), and Dubai.

Drawing attention in various locations both domestically and internationally, and spreading through social media – as a Japanese dessert brand, it has rapidly increased its global presence in just a few years.

The "origin" of its global expansion, and the place where the brand was born, is Kaga, Fukuoka. At the Kaga store, where menus featuring acai have long been popular, the summer-exclusive 'Acai Shaved Ice' is now on sale. Among the globally expanding brand, this is a drink that can only be savored at its origin.

What is [Age.3]?

Age.3 was born from "FRUITS SAND THREE," a dessert brand that started in Kaga City, Fukuoka Prefecture. In 2023, we developed a new sensation dessert, "Agemando" (fried sandwich), combining low-carbohydrate fresh whipped cream with a "crispy and chewy" textured bread, and opened our first store in Ginza, Tokyo. Since then, we have expanded domestically and internationally. Currently, in addition to Japan, we have stores in Shanghai, Sydney, Manila, Dubai, and other overseas locations, continuing to grow globally as a Japanese dessert brand.

With the recovery of inbound demand, the demand for street food in tourist areas is increasing again.

Age.3, which offers the experience of being "freshly fried," is gaining support in tourist destinations due to its affinity with street food culture.

In line with this trend, we opened "Age.3 HIDA TAKAYAMA" as a new base to enjoy "freshly made" products in Hida-Takayama, a tourist destination where you can experience Japanese street food culture.

Produced by a head chef who honed their skills at Hotel Okura Tokyo, Kyoto, and Fukuoka.

While the quality of ingredients shines through due to its simplicity, we also prioritize visual beauty, such as fruit placement and color balance. We pursue uncompromising desserts, down to the melt-in-your-mouth texture and calorie count.
