A Delicious New Take on Ice Cream
On August 29, 2026, CHEESE STAND, a renowned cheese workshop based in Shibuya, Tokyo, will introduce its latest creation—an innovative line of ice cream designed especially for cheese lovers. Craftsmanship shines through in this ice cream, as expert cheesemakers utilize their daily experience to ensure that the unique characteristics of cheese are fully expressed in each scoop.
A Taste of Tradition and Craftsmanship
This exciting new product by nobilu Co., Ltd., led by CEO Masaru Fujikawa, includes two exquisite flavors:
Ricotta & Fruits and
Semi-Hard Cheese. Each flavor captures the essence of cheese while providing a delightful surprise.
Flavor Profiles
Ricotta & Fruits
Inspired by the classic Italian dessert cassata, this flavor features an abundance of figs, oranges, and walnuts. The delicate texture of ricotta cheese allows for a pleasant melt-in-your-mouth experience while the natural sweetness of the fruits and the nutty aroma harmonize to create a festive and vibrant taste. Perfect for children and those who prefer a milder flavor, this ice cream promises a unique treat for all.
Semi-Hard Cheese
On the other hand, the
Semi-Hard Cheese flavor showcases a robust profile derived from long-aged semi-hard cheese. While indulging in ice cream, one can experience a delightful hint of saltiness reminiscent of fine cheeses. This flavor is not just a sweet treat but also pairs exquisitely with wines or other spirits, making it an excellent choice for adult consumers.
The Magic of Perfect Serving
To fully enjoy this rich treat, a little patience is required. CHEESE STAND recommends letting the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before indulging. This slight warming allows the ice cream to become slightly softer and creamier, enhancing the overall experience.
Suggested Pairings
- - Ricotta & Fruits: Try pairing with the Semi-Hard Cheese for an avant-garde combination.
- - Semi-Hard: For a more sophisticated dessert, add a splash of brandy or another liqueur.

About CHEESE STAND
Established in 2012 under the concept of creating fresh cheese in the heart of the city, CHEESE STAND began its journey by opening a café-restaurant in Shibuya. It pioneered the production of fresh burrata in Japan and has worked diligently to promote cheese culture through various media outlets.
The brand expanded in 2016 by launching
& CHEESE STAND, a store tailored towards fresh cheese and related food ingredients. In 2022, they opened the
CHEESE STAND LAB in Setagaya, focusing on aged cheese and innovative products made from whey. Recently, in 2023, they took a leap outside of Tokyo with the opening of
