A new kind of gelato, "IRODORI CACAO GELATO," featuring the vibrant colors and flavors of single-origin cacao, is now available!
LITTLE MOTHERHOUSE, a food brand whose philosophy is "Bringing the possibilities of food from developing countries to the world," will launch a new series, "IRODORI CACAO GELATO," which proposes new possibilities for cacao, to coincide with the reopening of the LITTLE MOTHERHOUSE Chocolate Factory Shop (Ginza) on Monday, June 29, 2026.
This new lineup features six varieties. Four varieties combine a cacao-based gelato with carefully selected ingredients and are finished with a powder to create a "gradation of flavor and color," while the other two varieties allow you to directly enjoy the taste of cacao. Please enjoy these luxurious, chilled sweets that will delight all your senses in our newly renovated, sophisticated space.
■ "IRODORI CACAO GELATO" product lineup
This gelato is a delight to behold, offering a new and surprising experience with its exquisite combination of cocoa and other ingredients. Made without cow's milk, it uses a unique plant-based milk base created by emulsifying cocoa butter and water, enhancing the natural aroma and flavor of the cocoa. Choose from single or double scoops to suit your mood.
[Four types of the "Irodori Series" to enjoy luxurious gradations]

Matcha × Matcha <br /> Made with "Hon-yama Matcha" from Shizuoka Prefecture.

Enjoy the beautiful harmony of the rich, distinctive aroma of matcha and the sweetness of the gelato.
[Two types of "Origin Series" that let you enjoy the unique characteristics of cacao]
This gelato uses cacao carefully cultivated on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, expressing the true potential of cacao in a straightforward way.
5. IRODORI CACAO GELATO Cacao Milk <br />It gently envelops the unique and rich flavor of cacao itself, which is described as fruity yet floral, and sometimes even woody.
6. IRODORI CACAO GELATO Cocoa Mass <br /> An exceptional product that allows you to directly experience the taste of cocoa mass. The prominent fruity aroma and deep bitterness spread pleasantly, and the aftertaste is surprisingly refreshing.
