Yutaro Rokugo is a Japanese gelato maker and the founder of Izu Kogen Gelato Kobo R65, an artisan gelateria located in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Before devoting himself to gelato he worked for over ten years as a pastry chef in hotels and restaurants, building a solid technical base and a deep sensitivity for raw ingredients. His encounter with Italian artisan gelato was a turning point in his path and in 2022 led him to open his own workshop. Through gelato Yutaro wants to express the natural richness of his land: milk, citrus, tea, seasonal fruit and Japanese ingredients that he discovers by collaborating with local producers. His production philosophy unites technique, research and respect for the raw ingredient, with the aim of creating flavours that are clean, balanced and authentic. The distinctive feature of his work is the search for a bridge between Japanese sensibility and the Italian culture of gelato, turning ingredients and traditions into a contemporary, personal language.
