Häagen-Dazs Japan is launching a new summer series called Gelati (ジェラーティ) — two limited-edition Mini Cup products, Tropical Rich & Coconut and Salty Caramel & Pistachio, going on sale nationwide Tuesday, June 30, 2026.
A New Gelato Experience from Häagen-Dazs
The name "Gelati" comes from the Italian plural of "gelato," reflecting the concept of enjoying two distinct gelato flavors in a single cup. The series debuts with two products built around different flavor profiles: "summer classics" and "gelato classics," combined to complement each other.
Häagen-Dazs developed the line in response to growing interest in ice cream that remains comfortable to eat through the height of summer. The signature rich flavor of Häagen-Dazs is maintained, while acidity or saltiness is used as an accent to create a clean, refreshing finish — a balance that sets this series apart.
Häagen-Dazs Mini Cup Gelati "Tropical Rich & Coconut"
This flavor pairs tropical fruits with coconut — a summer classic combination — in a premium Häagen-Dazs style. Over 30 rounds of prototyping went into finding the ideal balance between indulgent richness and a light, clean finish.
Tropical Gelato
A rich gelato made with three tropical fruits: pineapple, mango, and passion fruit. Pineapple leads the blend, contributing a crisp acidity, while mango adds deep sweetness and passion fruit brings floral aroma and tartness.
Coconut Gelato
A creamy gelato that highlights the natural sweetness and fragrance of coconut. The dairy content is carefully balanced to avoid overpowering the coconut's own flavor, resulting in a smooth, naturally sweet taste without heaviness.

Häagen-Dazs Mini Cup Gelati "Salty Caramel & Pistachio"
This flavor combines salted caramel — a gelato shop summer staple — with pistachio, a perennial favorite. The two flavors are developed to complement and enhance each other: salted caramel's bitter, salty character plays off pistachio's nutty richness.
The salt content in the caramel was adjusted to 0.01% precision to strike the right balance between the caramel's characteristic flavor, its harmony with pistachio, and a satisfying finish.
Salty Caramel Gelato
Made with browned butter and caramel powder, this gelato delivers the familiar bittersweet caramel character with a salty accent for a clean finish. Careful adjustment of both the aromatic quality and salt level results in a flavor that is rich yet light.
Pistachio Gelato
Roasted pistachio is used to maximize the nut's toasty aroma and deep, savory richness. The flavor is calibrated to pair well with the salted caramel, creating a layered, aromatic experience.
