Cheese Garden Opens New Store in Machida After Two Years

Cheese Garden Expands with New Location in Machida

After a two-year hiatus, Cheese Garden, a beloved specialty cheese snack brand, is set to open its latest establishment, the "Cheese Garden Odakyu Machida Store," on February 5, 2026. This new addition marks the fourth permanent outlet in Tokyo and is strategically located on the basement food floor of the Odakyu Department Store in Machida, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary in September 2026. The opening is particularly exciting for fans of the brand, who eagerly anticipate the cozy shop grounded in the philosophy of creating a store that fulfills specific preferences, dubbed "My Store."

Founded in 1994 in the scenic region of Nasu, Tochigi Prefecture, Cheese Garden has become synonymous with high-quality cheese sweets infused with rich, local flavors. Offering a diverse range of products, from their signature "Goyotei Cheesecake" to various cheese cookies and galettes, Cheese Garden prides itself on meticulous craftsmanship. The store also features original blended teas known as "Techa," enhancing the overall experience for customers.

At the new Machida store, visitors will find a delightful assortment of cheese-based sweets, including the highly popular Goyotei Cheesecake, known for its moist texture and intense flavor. The store's offerings have been tailored for various occasions, whether it's a home treat, a thoughtful gift, or everyday enjoyment. Cheese Garden aims to be a comforting presence for local residents, integrating seamlessly into their daily lives.

The successful expansion of Cheese Garden is indicative of its growing popularity, with previous locations already thriving in regions like Hokkaido, Miyagi, Gunma, Saitama, Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Niigata, Toyama, Ishikawa, Aichi, Osaka, and beyond. Moreover, some locations incorporate café elements, enhancing the overall customer experience.

In celebration of the new Machida store's launch, Cheese Garden will offer special commemorative products for a limited time. Here's a closer look at some of the highlights:

Limited Edition Happy Bag

To kick off the opening, Cheese Garden will feature a limited edition "Happy Bag" filled with their best-selling Goyotei Cheesecake alongside four popular baked items. This carefully curated package provides an incredible value, available for just 3,800 yen (tax included). The set comprises:

- 1 box of Goyotei Cheesecake
- 1 box of Goyotei Cheese Cookies (4 pieces)
- 1 box of Financier (2 pieces)
- 1 box of Cheese Galette (2 pieces)
- 1 box of Cheese Langue de Chat (5 pieces)

Note: Due to the use of honey in the Financier, it is not suitable for children under one year old. Limited availability means the selling period may conclude early if all units are sold out.

Nasu Caramel Cheese Sandwich

Additionally, customers will have the opportunity to purchase a limited-edition Nasu Caramel Cheese Sandwich created exclusively for the Nasu main store. This indulgent treat features cookies made with rich butter and Edam cheese, sandwiched with caramel mixed with roasted walnuts. Each sandwich captures the essence of Nasu's rich agricultural products, resulting in a decadent taste experience priced at 1,980 yen (tax included). Like the Happy Bag, this item will be available from February 5 to February 8, 2026, with limited quantities expected.

Cheese Garden is dedicated to promoting brand awareness and expanding its fan base by delivering delightful new products to customers across the nation. This commitment to sustainable growth not only boosts the brand's visibility but also enhances the overall corporate value of the company.
