Petit-fraise

Petit-fraise (プチフレーズ) is a Japanese cake shop based in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, founded in 1986. It operates multiple stores in Nagoya's Chikusa and Higashi wards, including the Chayagasaka main store, the Ozone store, and the directly managed Café de Fraise. The brand is known for its commitment to handmade, additive-free, and reasonably priced confectionery, using locally sourced ingredients such as Nagoya Cochin eggs, Nishio matcha, and Chita wheat flour. Its signature product, the 'Ganso Kari-Kari Cookie Dome Choux,' is a cookie-crusted cream puff filled with vanilla bean cream, assembled to order in front of customers. Other popular items include the 100% Nagoya Cochin Kacchan Pudding, which received the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award, the Nagoya Dome Cheese Sucette, and the Junsei Roll series. The company operates under the management philosophy of 'Ichinen Sanzen' and aims to be the number one shop in its local area.

Petit-fraise was founded in 1986 when the first store opened in Sunadabashi, Nagoya. The founder, a trained pastry chef who had apprenticed at Fleur from 1973 to 1980 and at Midoriya from 1980 to 1986, established the shop with a commitment to handmade, additive-free, and affordable confectionery. In 2000, the company launched its signature product, the 'Ganso Kari-Kari Cookie Dome Choux,' which became a local favorite. The following year, in 2001, the second store opened in Ozone, and the registered trademark 'Nagoya Dome Monogatari' was released. In 2006, a store opened in front of AEON Nagoya Dome, and in 2007, the main store functions were relocated to the new Chayagasaka store. That same year, the '100% Nagoya Cochin Kacchan Pudding' and the 'Junsei Roll series' were launched. In 2008, the Kacchan Pudding received the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award at the Excellent Hometown Food Central Competition. In 2009, the company opened 'Café de Fraise,' a sweets café in Chayagasaka. In 2010, the 'Nagoya Dome Cheese Sucette' was released, followed by the 'Yaki Ring series' in 2011. The company has continued to operate multiple stores in Nagoya, maintaining its philosophy of handmade production and local sourcing.
