Let's all aim to become a sweets master!
Project 05
Alico Rouge
Cakes we want to deliver to people who care about their health
Nowadays, many people are concerned about their health. For this reason, some people may hold back on sweets or eat while worrying about their sugar intake.
With this realization in mind, we wanted to create sweets that even those who care about their health can easily eat, with the concept of ``creating a future where people can eat sweets with peace of mind.''
And thus, “Alico Rouge” was born.
Project 06
Sweets education
Sweets education is the development of planning skills. Steps are required to create delicious and beautiful sweets.
Not only do they experience the success of making sweets, but they also feel the value and meaning of their existence by giving the sweets as gifts and making their anniversaries meaningful through sweets. Cultivating such small minds is the value of sweets education.
I would like both mothers and fathers to learn this method so that they can pass it on to a variety of children.

Project 07
Recreation
The "Sweets Quiz" that has been posted on insert flyers and on the website since April 2020 will be renewed from October!
"Anagram game" and "word search game" are posted alternately every month.
You can learn from sweets from more perspectives than before, such as countries, the equipment used to make sweets, and events, and it's amazing how familiar "sweets" can lead to such a wide range of learning! It will also be a discovery.
Let's have fun trying out the sweets quiz to exercise your brain or study with your family and children!
Project 08
Re-distributing the charm of Jiyugaoka with sweets and beauty
This project was started by students who wanted to ``re-promote the charm of Jiyugaoka.'' Jiyugaoka is famous as a city of sweets, and at the same time, it is also a city with a strong interest in beauty. However, as there is an image that "sweets are the enemy of beauty," "sweets" and "beauty" have a contradictory relationship. Therefore, we thought that if we could promote these two strengths at the same time, it would be the best promotion for the city, and this product was born.
With “Low Carbohydrate Terrine Chocolat Moringa” at the forefront, the “Beauty” x “Sweets” project will continue to grow.
Project 09
SDGs awareness project born from the thoughts of students
6.46 million tons per year. This is the amount of "food loss" produced in Japan. This number is among the highest in the world. We have started a project to improve this food waste problem. In this project, we will be distributing "ZENB" original arrangement recipe videos by Hironobu Tsujiguchi, a world-renowned super pastry chef representing Japan. Through ZENB, a brand that shares the idea of ``cherishing ingredients,'' and videos, we aim to improve each household's awareness of ingredients and realize a sustainable society.
