Co-Creating Next-Generation Ice Cream at Osaka-Kansai Expo with Takeshita Seika and Eclipse Foods Japan

A Sweet Collaboration: Next-Gen Ice Cream Unveiled at Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025

In an exciting partnership between Eclipse Foods Japan and Takeshita Seika, visitors to the upcoming Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025 will be treated to a novel culinary experience: plant-based ice cream that promises to delight the palate while being environmentally conscious.

Innovations from Eclipse Foods

Founded as a startup in California, Eclipse Foods has pioneered a unique platform that combines multiple plant-derived ingredients to produce not only ice cream but also a wide array of alternative dairy products. Utilizing proprietary technology, the company creates dairy mimicries that boast creamy texture and rich flavor, without relying on any animal products.

For the Expo, Eclipse Foods has developed the Eclipse Dessert Blend, a revolutionary powdered ingredient that can be combined with water and oils to create a plant-based ice cream mix. This blend replicates the delicious taste and texture of traditional dairy ice creams, opening up a new world of flavors while being kinder to the planet.

Earth Sweets: Ice Cream at Its Finest

Under the banner of EARTH SWEETS – Presented by Takeshita Seika, the expo will feature an enticing lineup of 100% plant-based ice creams. A significant highlight will be the reimagined version of the beloved Black Mont Blanc treat, traditionally offered by Takeshita Seika, now made with the innovative Eclipse Dessert Blend. Other plant-based indulgences such as ice cream cups will feature flavors like chocolate, strawberry, and cookie butter.

Additionally, the menu will include parfaits made with hojicha, matcha, and kinako, all beautifully crafted to tantalize taste buds while keeping sustainability in focus.

Commitment to Sustainability

Eclipse Foods takes great pride in using drought-resistant plants as the primary ingredients for the Eclipse Dessert Blend. This forward-thinking initiative not only reduces carbon emissions during production but also promotes a sustainable future for our environment. By using ingredients that are less water-intensive, they are leading the charge toward an eco-friendly dessert landscape.

As part of the EARTH SWEETS initiative, both companies aim to deliver a dessert experience that is creamy, delicious, and planet-friendly. Through this collaboration, they demonstrate a commitment to offering sustainable food options that do not compromise on taste or texture.
