“Redefining Frozen Desserts:
Where Culinary Artistry Meets Cultural Storytelling”
Beyond matcha. Beyond dessert.
Snow Crane reimagines ice cream through the lens of Japanese tradition—think kinako, creamy tofu, black sugar from Okinawa. Created by Chef Takeshi Nishikawa, each scoop is a cultural expression. Our physical shop opens in late 2025; until then, find us popping up across DC, Maryland, and beyond!
