Welcome to GiFT NORiKURA Gelato & Cafe, a hidden gem nestled in the stunning landscapes of Nagano, Japan. This delightful cafe is not just a place to grab a quick bite, but rather an immersive experience that marries the serene beauty of nature with the exquisite flavors of artisanal gelato and homemade delights.

The highlight of GiFT NORiKURA's offerings is their 無添加ジェラート (additive-free gelato), crafted with the utmost care and integrity. Free from emulsifiers and preservatives, each scoop bursts with the pure essence of ingredients sourced from the pristine Norikura region. Indulge in flavors such as goat milk gelato, a creamy revelation that pairs beautifully with their homemade waffle cones—freshly baked every morning, releasing a delightful aroma of cinnamon and butter that tempts you from the first whiff. Other standout flavors include the tart sweetness of Alps blueberries, the refreshing strawberry sorbet, and the intriguing brown sugar espresso.
