A new gluten-free sweets shop, GYPSO, opened in Moriyama City, Shiga Prefecture on January 24, 2026. The shop is open from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (or until sold out), operates as takeout only, and has parking for 3 vehicles. For the latest information, visit the official Instagram account (@gypso.chiffoncake).
The Story Behind the Shop
The owner has always had a passion for making sweets. An encounter with rice flour chiffon cake — with its light, gentle texture so different from wheat-based cakes — sparked a desire to share that experience with more people.
The shop was born from a wish to create sweets made from wholesome, body-friendly ingredients: treats that can be a quiet part of everyday life, not just reserved for special occasions.
About GYPSO
GYPSO is a small takeout-only shop offering gluten-free chiffon cakes made with domestic rice flour. The cakes contain no wheat flour and no oil, with each one carefully baked by hand to preserve the natural, gentle flavors of the ingredients.
The signature plain chiffon is light and airy, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture described as being like powdery snow. It aims to be a simple, familiar flavor that never feels tiring — something customers can enjoy day after day.
LINE Friend Add Campaign
By adding the shop's official LINE account, first-time visitors receive a coupon. The shop has also introduced a LINE stamp card that accumulates stamps with each visit, with rewards such as discount coupons available based on the number of stamps collected.
Future Plans
Going forward, GYPSO plans to expand its lineup with seasonal flavors, cup-style chiffon cakes topped with pure fresh cream, drinks, and more — building a range of everyday treats to accompany customers' daily lives.
