Mash Food Lab Donates Over $5,800 from Okinawa Exclusive Crepes to Shuri Castle Restoration Fund

Supporting Cultural Heritage Through Delicious Crepes

In an inspiring move, Mash Food Lab has recently declared their commitment to cultural preservation by donating ¥587,100 (over $5,800) to the Shuri Castle Restoration Fund. This substantial contribution is derived from the sales of four exclusive crepes available only at their new gelato pique cafe location in the Okinawa Outlet Mall, Ashibina, set to open on April 26, 2024.

From June 2024, for every crepe purchased, ¥50 will be allocated to this important fund, supporting the historical heritage of Okinawa encapsulated in the Shuri Castle. The goal is to enhance public awareness and involvement in safeguarding the rich history and culture represented by this iconic site. The donation will be finalized based on sales performance until April 20, 2025, with an initial target of 11,742 crepes sold.

The Unique Crepes

The cafe will feature a menu of four exclusive crepe varieties that symbolize Okinawa's culinary heritage:

1. Butter and Brown Sugar Crepe (¥640) - A delightful twist on a gelato pique signature dessert, combining crispy and soft textures, generously topped with Okinawa's renowned brown sugar.

2. Purple Sweet Potato Crepe (¥840) - A visually stunning crepe filled with smooth purple sweet potato paste, accented with vanilla custard cream and sprinkled with brown sugar for a flavorful finish.

3. Taco Meat Savory Crepe (¥840) - This savory option is packed with hearty taco meat and fresh vegetables complemented by a refreshing salsa sauce, making it perfect for meal times.

4. Tropical Crepe (¥1,140) - A vibrant mix of tropical fruits such as mango, pineapple, and banana, served with gelato and whipped cream, bringing a taste of paradise to customers.

All crepes come wrapped in uniquely designed paper featuring Okinawan motifs, transforming every purchase into a meaningful experience.
