Gelato Kitchen NOA: A New Gelato Experience in Harajuku
On October 6, 2025, a new gem will grace Harajuku's bustling Takeshita Street—a dedicated gelato shop named
Gelato Kitchen NOA. This exciting establishment is the latest venture from NOA Co., a company with deep roots in this vibrant area.
The Birth of a New Brand
Gelato Kitchen NOA is born from
NOA COFFEE, a beloved café that has been part of the Harajuku landscape for over 50 years. Positioned to bring a unique dessert experience to locals and tourists alike, this gelato shop aims to offer customers something special—an artisanal twist on classic Italian gelato, crafted with local Japanese influences.
The theme of the gelato is “rich yet light,” aiming to provide a pleasurable texture that melts in the mouth. With this goal in mind, the shop merges traditional Italian methodologies with high-quality, carefully selected ingredients, ensuring each scoop is a delight.
Craftsmanship in Every Scoop
All gelato at Gelato Kitchen NOA will be prepared in a dedicated workshop located beneath the
NOA COFFEE. The shop utilizes state-of-the-art gelato machines from
Carpigiani, renowned for their status among professionals globally. These machines enable the team to finely control factors such as air content and temperature, ensuring a smooth, exquisite finish that highlights the flavors of the ingredients.
Customers will be able to savor fresh, daily-made gelato right from the Takeshita Street storefront, making it an ideal stop for shoppers and tourists looking for a sweet treat on the go.
Three Pillars of Quality
The shop prides itself on three core principles:
1.
Authentic Italian Technique: Utilizing professional machinery from the esteemed Carpigiani company.
2.
Premium Local Ingredients: The rich, creamy texture comes exclusively from Hokkaido milk, paired with handpicked fruits that are in season.
3.
Homemade Recipes: Crafting gelato from scratch distinguishes Gelato Kitchen NOA from others, with artisans overseeing every step, from blending milk and fruits to aging, cooling, and churning.
This meticulous process results in a unique aroma and lasting finish that enhances the gelato experience.
