Grand Opening of Gelateria Queen'z Spoon Brings Unique Gelato to Shibuya, Tokyo

Gelateria Queen'z Spoon: A New Gelato Haven in Shibuya

On September 27, 2026, a unique gelato experience opens its doors in Shibuya, Tokyo. Gelateria Queen'z Spoon, a specialist gelato shop, promises to tantalize taste buds with its fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Ahead of its grand opening, the gelateria will host a preview event from September 24 to 26, welcoming press members, influencers, and the general public.

Located in Udagawacho, Shibuya, Gelateria Queen'z Spoon is the brainchild of celebrated pastry chef Masaki Takahashi, who has honed his craft at prestigious establishments like the two-Michelin-star NARISAWA and contributed to successful Michelin-starred ventures in New York City. His commitment to using top-quality ingredients, such as fresh fruits from national producers and Aso Milk from Kumamoto's Abe Farm, sets this gelateria apart.

Exceptional Gelato Tailored to Each Day's Harvest

At Gelateria Queen'z Spoon, the focus is on maximizing the flavor of each ingredient. The gelato recipes are crafted without strict formulas, allowing the day’s fresh offerings from various farms to dictate the flavors. With around ten varieties on offer, patrons can expect dynamic flavors that are either traditional or seasonally inspired.

Chef Takahashi visits farmers and dairy producers across Japan to curate unique fruits and ingredients, many of which don’t reach conventional markets. For instance, the milk used is sourced from cows raised without stress and processed within 30 minutes of milking, ensuring freshness. The team has meticulously designed the gelato so that fruit flavors shine through without the interference of water or dairy.

As Chef Takahashi articulates, “Gelato is the best medium to express the essence of the ingredients.” With his expertise in selecting the most delicious components, he constantly dreams up new flavor combinations based on the fresh produce delivered each day. By keeping the gelato pure, he ensures that every bite delivers an immediate citrus scent and flavor burst that transports you to the source of your treat.

Seasonal and Classic Flavors to Explore

During the grand opening, guests can look forward to a selection that includes “Grape (Shine Muscat),” “Fig,” and “Japanese Pear with Sudachi” among others. The gelateria will consistently rotate its seasonal flavors, featuring one to two new options each month alongside five classic flavors, available throughout the year:

- Milk (Abe Farm’s Aso Milk)
- Vanilla (Madagascar’s Pompona variety)
- Matcha (Yame’s Hoshino Tea)
- Chocolate (Fair Trade Minimal Chocolate)
- Pistachio (Sicilian pistachio)

Special Opening Events for Influencers and General Public

In anticipation of its grand opening, Gelateria Queen'z Spoon will hold special preview times for influencers and media personnel. Following this, the public will also have the opportunity to visit the gelateria during designated times without the need for reservations. Guests are encouraged to register via LINE to receive updates on seasonal flavors and exclusive merchandise.

Chef Masaki Takahashi: A Dedicated Artisan

Hailing from Nara, Chef Masaki Takahashi, owner and head chef of Sweets Creator, has garnered extensive experience by working at renowned establishments, including a pivotal role at NARISAWA from 2018 to 2022. His journey has equipped him with a deep understanding of flavor and ingredient quality, allowing him to seamlessly transition into this new venture.

As Takahashi reflects, “Gelato is the sweetest way to enjoy the raw flavors of the materials. It all starts with visits to farms, understanding the philosophies behind the ingredients, and finding the best way to express them in gelato.”
