Product Overview
Noel Fraise - Strawberry Christmas -
Price: 5,500 (excluding tax)
Size: No. 5 (diameter 15cm / serves 4-6 people)
A Christmas-only shortcake made with a generous amount of around 20 strawberries. It combines original soy milk whipped cream and gluten-free sponge, and is characterized by the light, rich flavor you can only get from plant-based ingredients. Enjoy decorating it like a wreath to add a fun touch to your table.

A special cake available in limited quantities only for Christmas. The stump-shaped cocoa biscuit is surrounded by a glossy chocolate ganache, rich pistachio cream, cocoa sponge, raspberry custard cream, chocolate ganache, and gluten-free sponge, creating a colorful layering of flavors that melts smoothly in your mouth despite being 100% plant-based.
Pastry Chef Profile
16 years since developing vegan sweets.
It all started with a desire to give dreams to children who cannot eat Western-style sweets due to food allergies to eggs, milk, etc. As the times change, demand is increasing not only from people with allergies, but also from vegans and others who prefer sweets for health reasons, and I feel the demand for Western-style sweets made with 100% plant-based ingredients every day.
My goal is to "provide borderless food that everyone can enjoy together around the same table." Food that can be enjoyed safely by those who have a demand for plant-based ingredients, and delicious enough to satisfy even those who don't. That is what I envision as "borderless food." With a LAB as our base for this exploration, I would like to continue exploring the further possibilities of sweets, without resting on my laurels.
