Nichio Shoji Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Thierry Cohen, hereinafter referred to as "our company") is pleased to announce the launch of the highly anticipated new product, "Sol Leone Genovese Sauce," from the "Sol Leone" brand, which allows you to easily enjoy authentic Italian flavors at home. It will be available nationwide in supermarkets, department stores, and import food stores starting July 2026.

"Genovese" is a very popular pasta dish in Japan. Now, Sol Leone has created a Genovese sauce that pursues a fresh flavor.

This product's unique feature is its exquisite blend that further enhances the aroma of Italian basil. By combining the rich flavor of cheese with refreshing "lemon juice," we have achieved an authentic yet clean taste. You can enjoy a new experience where the fresh aroma of basil spreads throughout your mouth with just one bite.

Furthermore, we have adopted a "130g (2-3 servings)" size that caters to the needs of modern households. It is a convenient and carefully designed package that can be used up while maintaining its freshness. It is a versatile seasoning that will add color to your everyday meals, not only on freshly boiled pasta but also as a sauce for meat and seafood, or as a pizza topping.
