■ Brand Concept: 'Wakon-Yosai' (Japanese Spirit, Western Learning) Cheese Confectionery Born from the Golden Land
'Cheese Zipangu' is a cheese confectionery brand inspired by the tales of the 'Golden Land of Zipangu' recorded in The Travels of Marco Polo. Set against the aesthetic backdrop of the Muromachi period, the brand imagines a world where samurai raised cattle and fused their findings with cheese discovered across the seas. By combining the delicacy of domestic cheese with the richness of international varieties, we have refined our products with the spirit of 'Wakon-Yosai.'
We invite you to experience a new confectionery brand that shines with a golden worldview, ready to be shared from Japan to the world.
