The dreamy crepe cafe gelato pique cafe, under Japan’s popular homewear brand “gelato pique,” teams up again with century-old Japanese matcha specialist TSUJIRI. This Japanese food duo is at it again with another exclusive collab.

Following the huge success of their first collaboration in 2018, the two brands reunite after two years to launch a 2020 Valentine’s Day special — a line of adult-oriented fantasy sweets available in two limited phases from February 7 to March 31.

Using premium, thick, aromatic Uji matcha carefully selected by TSUJIRI, paired with gelato pique café’s classic French-style soft and chewy crepes, they bring back and upgrade three classic indulgent desserts for adults: the “TSUJIRI White Bean Red Bean Crepe,” the fusion-style “TSUJIRI Matcha Pearl Crepe,” and the Valentine’s highlight “TSUJIRI Matcha Chocolate Crepe.”

Plus, two must-drink beverages for matcha lovers: “TSUJIRI Matcha Latte” and “TSUJIRI Matcha Pearl Latte.” This sweet and romantic Valentine’s season, these treats will satisfy even the pickiest palates, creating a rich and captivating love story in every sip. Buy any TSUJIRI combo (crepe + drink) to get an on-site discount of NT$52, and spend over NT$300 to receive one TSUJIRI Love Amulet (while supplies last).

During the 2020 Valentine’s season, gelato pique cafe launches three collab crepes and two drinks with TSUJIRI. The “TSUJIRI White Bean Red Bean Crepe,” which was the bestseller during their first collab, makes a comeback — now upgraded once again.

Made with handcrafted matcha crepes and delicate, fragrant matcha whipped cream, this crepe features chewy white beans with a satisfying bounce, paired perfectly with sweet red beans, and sprinkled with a hint of soybean flour for added aroma — every bite is a rich, flavorful experience with just the right balance of sweetness and gentle bitterness.

This season also debuts a mind-blowing East-meets-West combo: the “TSUJIRI Matcha Pearl Crepe.” The mellow aroma of matcha blends flawlessly with the rich, chewy texture of black sugar pearls — sweet but not cloying, utterly addictive. A must-try for dessert lovers who can’t get enough of boba and matcha.
