"acá" is a Spanishi restaurant that has been highly acclaimed by Michelin Kyoto and Osaka receiving first star for four consecutive years, and is tough to get a reservation. Tetsuo Azuma, the owner and chef of the restaurant, supervises premium sweets brand BLANCA.
BLANCA's Signature Basque Cheesecake, based on the concept of "a sweet to enjoy
the burnt taste", was not advertised or promoted, and even though it was only secretly launched on a sales website, it spread by word of mouth through some foodies and quickly became a fantastic and difficult to get sweet that is sold out in a matter of minutes every day.
Seasonal flavors using carefully selected high-quality ingredients, such as Japanese chestnuts (autumn), Amazonian cacao and Tolosa beans (winter), and green tea (spring), have also been well received and favored by many repeat customers.
We share BLANCA's philosophy and have been developing BLANCA's pop-up shops at BIOTOP Shirokanedai, SANT ROPEZ Ebisu Atre, and SALON GINZA SABOU since shortly after its website opening, and now we have concluded a capital and business alliance with BLANCA K.K.
Through this alliance, we will utilize BLANCA's product development capabilities and Jun's store management capabilities to expand our business.
In addition to the intermittent development of pop-up shops, we will open actual stores to convey BLANCA to as many customers as possible and to deliver the "pleasure of tasting premium" in their daily lives.
