The Kansai Debut of an Enchanting Cheese Sweets Specialty Store
Starting from the question "What does cheese mean to you?", "Cheese is..." is a brand that pursues the limitless possibilities of cheese. It introduces confections that bring out cheese's charm as something that can be enjoyed both sweet and savory, and that can play either a starring or supporting role.
Cheese plays an active part in everything from savory dishes to desserts, a curious ingredient that can take center stage or work quietly in the background.
"Cheese is..." focused on this charm and limitless potential of cheese to create new cheese sweets that are not simply sweet, but carry a little extra accent. The brand hopes the treats will bring a touch of color to an everyday moment or a relaxed afternoon tea break, and be enjoyed by cheese lovers and many others alike.
A Signature Lineup Featuring Camembert and Parmesan
The lineup includes the "Cheese Financier Rich," featuring the rich depth of camembert, along with "Strawberry," combining the sweet tartness of strawberry, and "Nuts," offering the enjoyable texture of pistachio and walnut—three financier varieties in total. There is also a cookie with a savory accent, made with umami-rich parmesan and black pepper.
