The kids' menu at the craft restaurant 'PISOLA' operated by PISOLA Inc. has been completely renewed since March 2026. We would like to announce the background of providing preschool children with an authentic fresh pasta and course experience cooked exactly like adults', moving away from a single plate while remaining 'completely free', and the response after its launch.
■ Over 250% YoY Order Rate! Response After the Renewal
A Course Meal Just for You
Since the renewal in March 2026, the order rate for the kids' menu has achieved over 250% compared to the previous year. It proved that there is a demand for an experience where families can enjoy authentic Italian food on the same level. It became a huge topic primarily through word of mouth, with comments like 'The quality is too high for it to be free' and 'Since my child is engrossed in their own meal, I can finally take my time and enjoy a warm meal'.
■ Key Points of the Renewal
Course Style Just Like Adults
Sauces with No Chemical Seasonings or Preservatives Added
Now Available for Primary School Customers
■ Course Style Just Like Adults
It has evolved from a 'Kids Plate' to a 'Kids Course'. It starts with appetizers (potato salad and crispy cheese), followed by a choice of main dish, and finishes with dessert, in a true 'course style'. By providing the exact same cooking process and ingredients as the adult menu, we offer an elevated experience where children can enjoy the same taste as their parents from an early age.
■ Sauces with No Chemical Seasonings or Preservatives Added
Valuing the original taste of the ingredients, our sauces use absolutely no chemical seasonings or preservatives. They are prepared by hand at each restaurant and simmered slowly over time. We offer food that is not only safe and secure but also gentle on children's bodies.
■ Now Available for Primary School Customers
'I want to feed this to my primary schooler too!' We have received many such requests in the past. Therefore, reflecting the voices of our customers, we reviewed the conventional age limit, allowing primary school customers to order as well. The newly established price for primary schoolers (878 JPY including tax) is highly rated as 'satisfying even for growing appetites' and is used by a wide range of families.
■ From Drink Bar to Dessert, Everything is 'Completely Free' for Preschoolers
From the 'Premium Drink Bar' where you can enjoy 100% fruit juices and high-quality teas, to the authentic fresh pasta of choice, down to the post-meal 'Vanilla Ice Cream (Dolce)', the entire course content is free (0 JPY) for preschoolers. We gave shape to our desire: 'We want parents to take a break from chores at least for today and enjoy a full meal with the family.'

■ Liberation from 'Sharing'
When eating out, many parents compromise by thinking, 'I really want to eat spicy pasta, but I'll order a safe flavor,' or 'Because I share from my plate, I haven't ordered my favorite dish in a long time.' We believe that many parents give up on what they want to eat. PISOLA wants moms and dads who run around busily every day to choose 'the dish they truly want to eat' as a reward for themselves, without hesitation, in our extraordinary space.
■ Why Do We Go That Far for Free?

What we wanted to provide was not a 'free kids' plate'. The trigger was about 10 years ago, seeing a part-time employee who supported our restaurant busily until the evening. Her son was still a preschooler. Looking at her back as she worked, prioritizing her son and family over herself, we felt she held a desperate wish deep in her heart as a parent: 'I really want to take a break from preparing dinner just for today' and 'I want to eat a full meal of delicious food that I chose myself'. This is the reason why we renewed the kids' menu from a single plate to a 'course style' this time. We want to create time where your precious children's eyes sparkle as they become engrossed in 'their very own course'. And we hope moms and dads can enjoy authentic, warm Italian food to their heart's content while it's still warm.
