Exciting New Collaboration

In a delightful fusion of culinary expertise, Salad Cafe has revealed its upcoming partnership with the esteemed Italian restaurant chain, Il Chianti. This collaboration aims to introduce two new salad dishes featuring Il Chianti's signature dressing, showcasing a perfect blend of creativity and tradition. The new offerings will be available starting November 5 and will be served at select Salad Cafe locations in the Kanto region, primarily in department stores.

Il Chianti: A Legacy of Italian Cuisine

Founded in 1972, Il Chianti started its journey in the bustling streets of Shibuya, Tokyo, along the famed Waterworks Street. Known for its original Italian cuisine paired with fine wines, Il Chianti has expanded its branches across the country. The restaurant prides itself on offering genuine flavors sourced directly from Italy, along with an unparalleled dining experience that prioritizes customer service without predefined manuals. The acclaimed dressing used in the new salads is a well-loved recipe combining grated Japanese onions and carrots, enhanced with the depth of garlic — a true culinary treasure that has won the hearts of many.

New Salad Creations

The collaboration has birthed two exciting dishes:

1. Shrimp and Colorful Vegetable Spaghetti Salad – Il Chianti Dressing Style
Priced at 548 yen per 100g (tax included), this refreshing cold pasta dish features plump shrimp, vibrant vegetables like tomatoes and purple cabbage, all tossed in Il Chianti’s original dressing and garnished with crispy fried garlic. This dish is designed to celebrate the natural flavors of the vegetables while providing a satisfying culinary experience with every bite.

2. Seasonal Green Salad with Pumpkin, Lotus Root, and Mushrooms
At 588 yen per 100g (tax included), this dish showcases a medley of 12 seasonal vegetables, including fall favorites like pumpkin and various mushrooms. When paired with Il Chianti's signature dressing, the salad beautifully highlights the rich flavors of autumn.

Both salads embody Salad Cafe’s commitment to enhancing the inherent qualities of vegetables and showcasing the versatility of salads as a cuisine. By incorporating Il Chianti's dressing, these new offerings reflect a successful merger of ingredients and culinary traditions.

Dressing Availability

In addition to the salad items, Salad Cafe will also sell Il Chianti's signature dressing at its stores during the promotional period, allowing customers to recreate the delightful experience at home. This bottled dressing has been carefully crafted using locally-sourced garlic and various vegetables, making it a versatile addition to any dish — not just salads.
