Introduction
Fusion of Tradition and Innovation.
Bringing Kakigori to the World.
We are convinced of the infinite possibilities and the unique, globally appealing charm of Japanese Kakigori.
The desire to “deliver Japanese food culture to the world” from Takahashi, combined with the “passion and technique for menu development” from Nishigaya.
Multiplying these two strengths, we launched a new company: “TAKASO & Vinefru Co.,Ltd.”
Target & Vision
From Bangkok, Thailand,
to ASEAN, and to the World.
We position Bangkok, Thailand as our most critical hub to create business touchpoints. Using our success model in Bangkok as a foothold, we plan to expand into neighboring ASEAN countries.
We aim to welcome overseas restaurant owners (B2B) who are interested in Japanese food culture as our main partners.
We strive for a future where “KAKIGORI” becomes a daily staple worldwide.

Founder’s Message
Ryo Takahashi
CEO of TAKASO
Kakigori is a wonderful food culture nurtured by Japan. However, unlike sushi or ramen, it is not yet widely known across the globe.
Various Asian countries have their own unique ice sweet cultures. Among them, Japanese Kakigori is incredibly unique.
I have been conducting activities to convey the charm of Japanese Kakigori overseas, primarily in Bangkok, Thailand. And now, I am starting a new challenge.
We have deepened our collaboration with Mr. Nishigaya. Bringing Kakigori as a Japanese food culture to the world—we believe in its boundless potential.
Partner Profile
Yoshinori Nishigaya
CEO of Parlor Vinefru Ginza
Over the past 7 years since our founding, I have created approximately 400 types of Kakigori. I believe Kakigori is a dessert with immense potential, capable of delivering not just great taste, but also surprise and emotion.
In this rapidly changing industry, I have pursued new value, driven by my passion for product development and ability to execute. Currently, I am involved in producing shops both domestically and internationally, building a solid track record overseas.
Moving forward, my goal is to share the true charm of Kakigori not only in Japan but with the rest of the world.
