Introducing Watermelon Gelato Cup by Lotte

Lotte, a renowned confectionery company based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is set to launch an exciting product that merges nostalgia with innovation. The new Watermelon Gelato Cup is scheduled to hit shelves nationwide on August 17, 2026 (excluding convenience stores). This innovative treat draws inspiration from the much-loved BIG Watermelon Bar, a summer favorite that has delighted generations.

A Nostalgic Treat for Adults

For many, the Watermelon Bar evokes fond childhood memories, but Lotte recognizes that as fans grow up, their dessert preferences evolve. This new gelato cup caters to adults who wish to enjoy a beloved childhood treat in a more refined manner. Feedback indicated that many adults desire the indulgence of the Watermelon Bar without the usual carefree mess that comes with biting into a frozen treat.

Lotte's Watermelon Gelato Cup offers exactly that: the joy of a beloved flavor without the bar's stickiness. The cup format allows for a more relaxed eating experience, making it perfect for enjoying alone or sharing with friends.

Unique Features of the Gelato Cup

The new gelato product doesn't just replicate the original; it elevates it. The Watermelon Gelato Cup features a two-layered composition that promises excitement with every spoonful:

• - The bottom layer boasts a vibrant red watermelon-flavored ice made from real watermelon juice.
• - The top layer is a refreshing green ice, designed to resemble the watermelon rind.

This dynamic pairing not only captures the classic flavor but also introduces a unique sticky texture that enhances the overall enjoyment of the dessert. To top it off, just like the original bar, the gelato cup includes delightful bits of chocolate throughout, making for a multifaceted experience.

Perfect for Relaxing Moments

The Watermelon Gelato Cup is designed to be savored slowly, allowing consumers to relish the vibrant flavors and textures without the worry of melting or mess. Whether enjoyed after a long day or during a summer gathering, it serves as a perfect companion for warm evenings, bringing a touch of joy to each moment.

Lotte aims to connect people through innovative ideas and memorable experiences, reinforcing its role as “the partner to enjoy” or, as they say, “the partner for your mouth.” With the Watermelon Gelato Cup, they continue to create shared experiences that contribute to a bright future for all.
