These delightful gift sets will be available as the perfect summer 'ochugen' gifts from July 1 to August 15, 2026, exclusively on the Delsole online store.

Fabbrica f’Effe: A Hub of Gelato Excellence

Established in 2013, Fabbrica f’Effe is the gelato development and manufacturing base under Fortuna Corporation. This location has been integral to Delsole's mission in bringing authentic Italian flavors to Japan. With a commitment to quality, Fabbrica f’Effe has produced over 100 new gelato recipes annually, showcasing a blend of creativity and craftsmanship. In 2025, they played a key role in creating gelato for the Italian pavilion at the Osaka Expo, demonstrating their prowess in the field. Their presence at major events in the Kansai region has significantly boosted their recognition, marking them as a leading force in Japan’s gelato landscape.

Why Gelato is the Perfect Ochugen Gift

In Japan, gelato represents a refreshing gift suitable for ochugen, perfectly embodying gratitude and care. Made from Japan's bountiful natural ingredients—vegetables, fruits, and pure water—gelato serves as a cool remedy during the record-breaking heat of summer. Thanks to its frozen nature, recipients can savor it at their leisure, eliminating the pressure to consume it immediately. Though many associate gelato with summer, the Japanese Gelato Association celebrates "Gelato Day" on August 27, coinciding with the harvest season. This suggests that the prime season for enjoying gelato extends well beyond ochugen, into the latter part of summer, making gelato gift sets a thoughtful expression of ongoing relationships.

Why Choose Gelato from Fabbrica f’Effe?

Fabbrica f’Effe's gelato has garnered acclaim both domestically and internationally. Among the founding members of Fortuna are artisans who studied in Italy during the early 1980s, bringing authentic Italian techniques and recipes to Japan. The legacy continues with Fabbrica f’Effe, where traditional methods meet modern innovation to create authentic Italian gelato. The same skilled craftspersons were trusted to prepare gelato at last year's Osaka Expo, underscoring their status as purveyors of genuine gelato culture. Gifting a selection of their gelato is not just offering a taste of Italy; it's sharing a piece of cultural heritage and warmth.

The Importance of Delsole as the Sales Venue

Delsole is the originating point for Fabbrica f’Effe, acting as a key conduit to share their gelato with a wider audience. The gelato made by Fabbrica f’Effe holds a special place within Delsole's café and sweets menu, showcasing its appeal to a broad customer base. When selling gelato directly to consumers, Delsole’s official site serves as the exclusive channel, ensuring a seamless and brand-consistent shopping experience for customers. The elegant design of the gelato cups, featuring a black base with golden accents, adds a luxurious touch to the gift.
