"Gelato Kitchen NOA" is a gelato specialty brand born from the long-established cafe "NOA COFFEE," which has been loved on Harajuku's Takeshita Street for over 50 years.

With the concept of "rich yet light texture," they develop original gelato that fuses authentic Italian traditional production methods with Japanese ingredients and seasonal fruits.

Dedicated Workshop in NOA COFFEE Basement, Sales at Takeshita Street Store

Gelato machine

All gelato is produced in a dedicated workshop set up in the basement of NOA COFFEE.

They use Carpigiani gelato machines, which hold a high market share in Italy and are trusted by gelato artisans around the world. These premium machines realize a smooth texture that maximizes the flavor of the ingredients.

Freshly made gelato finished daily in a fresh state is offered at the street-level store facing Harajuku Takeshita Street. It's easy to stop by between shopping or sightseeing, and you can also enjoy it as street food.

Three Commitments to Achieve "Rich Yet Light"

Authentic Production Method Using Italian Machines

They have introduced machines from the long-established Italian manufacturer "Carpigiani." By precisely controlling the amount of air incorporated and temperature management, they maximize the smooth texture and flavor of the ingredients.

Using Hokkaido Milk and Carefully Selected Fruits

Milk is the most important element that determines the taste of gelato. Gelato Kitchen NOA uses Hokkaido milk, which combines rich richness, natural sweetness, and smooth mouthfeel.

Unique Recipe Realizing "Rich Yet Light"

Gelato Kitchen NOA's gelato doesn't rely on ready-made bases but is prepared from scratch in the workshop. From combining milk and fruit to aging, cooling, and churning.

Because artisans carefully handle all processes, there is a difference in the aroma and aftertaste that spreads in the mouth. Enjoy the freshly made craft gelato delivered daily from the basement workshop in Harajuku/Takeshita Street.
