NICO Co., Ltd. (Representative: Ayaka Udagawa, Location: Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture), which aims to bring more excitement and joy to parents, will open "UDAUDACAFE," a takeout-only cafe featuring "Obento Crepe" as its signature menu item, where parents with children can enjoy together. The grand opening will be on Tuesday, April 1, 2026, in Hiratsuka City.
What is UDAUDACAFE?
"UDAUDACAFE" is a takeout-only cafe born from the desire to ensure parents don't have to give up their excitement and joy, featuring the "Obento Crepe" as its signature menu item.
Even "eating my favorite crepe" was one of the pleasures that representative Udagawa gave up after becoming a mother. This is because typical crepes can tie up one hand, and children tend to get their hands and mouths dirty when eating them, making them a high-barrier dessert for parents and children to enjoy together.
The "Obento Crepe," developed with the sole aim of delivering this feeling to other parents, thoroughly pursued ease of eating and safety, spending a year on deliciousness, shape, cream blending ratio, and ingredient selection.
Signature Menu Item: "Obento Crepe"
The "Obento Crepe" is a roll crepe that feels just like an obento (lunch box). It features classic crepe fruits and a gently sweet cream made from 100% raw milk, soy milk, and domestic cane sugar, all wrapped in a chewy rice flour and tapioca flour dough, then packed into an easy-to-carry box.
Its features include a cut-roll shape that doesn't tie up one hand, cream with an appropriate softness that doesn't easily spill out when held and keeps hands and mouths clean, and careful consideration for ingredients and sweetness, making it a crepe that even small children can safely and easily enjoy with their parents.
Flavors include banana, blueberry, orange marmalade, and seasonal fruits, totaling four types. Additionally, custom flavors include homemade raw chocolate made with additive-free cocoa powder, crunchy homemade caramel almonds, and colorful chocolate popular with children. For drinks, we offer juices as well as original blend coffees. "Uda Cafe Blend" has a slightly bitter flavor that enhances the gentle sweetness of the Obento Crepe, "Hiratsuka Blend" expresses the refreshing transparency of Hiratsuka's seaside, and decaffeinated options are also available.
UDAUDACAFE is located near the Shonan coast, making it ideal for enjoying an Obento Crepe and coffee while strolling along the nearby beach or in a park. It offers a precious time for parents visiting the Hiratsuka area and Shonan coast to enjoy excitement with their children.

The Inspiration Behind UDAUDACAFE's Birth
NICO Co., Ltd. is a parent-child marketing company that aims to bring "more excitement and joy to parents."
Ayaka Udagawa, the representative, experienced various types of work and company management before being blessed with children and a family. However, she realized that parents' own feelings of "excitement" and "joy" were often put on the back burner.
"My clothes get pulled by my child, and thinking about diaper changes and playing in the sand, I can't wear accessories and end up only wearing jeans and T-shirts." "It became difficult to go out for drinks, which was a common hobby for my husband and me."
Of course, it's not entirely impossible. However, compared to when she was single or just a couple, going out and enjoying oneself requires a lot more preparation.
From these personal experiences, "UDAUDACAFE" was born out of the desire that parents with small children should not have to give up their excitement and joy.
