Komeda’s cassata trend
Komeda Coffee’s limited 'Kuchidoke Cassata' cheesecake is viral — priced at 530 yen, packed with five dried fruits and nuts, and described as dense but melting. The social post pushing it pulled major engagement and shares. (x.com)
Komeda rolled the cake into stores as part of a spring lineup that began on March 12, 2026, with the limited run scheduled through early July 2026. (komeda.co.jp)) The new range includes four seasonal cakes listed by the company: キャラメル サレ (Caramel Salé), 抹茶の雫 (Matcha no Shizuku), THEベイクドチーズ (THE Baked Cheese) and くちどけカッサータ (Kuchidoke Cassata). (komeda.co.jp)) Komeda’s product description specifies the cassata contains five named dried fruits—orange peel, cherry, raisin, pineapple and lemon peel—combined with nuts and a cream-cheese base that the company notes is heat-treated. (komeda.co.jp)) Corporate listings show the item marked as a limited/seasonal cake on Komeda’s menu pages and note that availability varies by location, with some stores excluded from the rollout. (komeda.co.jp)) Multiple Japanese outlets covering the spring menu described the cassata as Komeda’s first offering of that specific dessert style in their seasonal lineup, framing it as a new-format addition to the chain’s cake selection.
