Gelato Shop at FOOD LAB

Located inside the Northern Wholesale Market in Kawasaki City, CROSS FOOD LAB primarily serves as the busy production hub for the online store &CROSS. Now, embracing the vibrant atmosphere of the market, the lab has officially started direct over-the-counter sales of its premium gelato!

A full lineup of 12 popular cup gelatos is available. The selection ranges from classic flavors like rich organic milk sourced directly from Okoppe Town in Hokkaido and organic Swiss milk chocolate, to luxurious sorbets made with fresh seasonal fruits, Okinawan flavors that celebrate regional ingredients, and sophisticated options infused with subtle hints of Grappa or Karaki (Okinawan cinnamon). Because this is the production site, the entire collection is always available in peak condition—perfect for a refreshing break during market shopping or as a delicious takeaway gift for family.

By eliminating online packaging and shipping costs, these premium treats are offered at exclusive "Lab-Direct Prices" to give back to the local community and market visitors. The goal is to make high-quality gourmet food more accessible while becoming a beloved spot in the neighborhood.

■Open Hours

• Open during the bustling market hours of the morning only.

• Days: Open mainly from Thursday to Saturday (Closed on Sundays and National Holidays, following the market calendar).

• *This shop is closed outside of these hours.

With the right timing, visitors might catch gelato that has just been freshly filled in the lab. The moment it exits the blast freezer is when the aroma is most vibrant and the texture is at its silkiest. This level of freshness, made possible only by being directly connected to the production line, is the lab's hidden pride. (Available flavors vary based on the daily production schedule, making every visit a unique encounter).
