Dipper Dan, the popular crepe chain renowned across Japan, is set to captivate dessert lovers with an enchanting new collaboration. Teaming up with Sakuma Seika to celebrate the 55th anniversary of its iconic “Ichigo Milk” candy, Dipper Dan will introduce a special limited-time menu beginning December 15, 2025. This delightful offering features an alluring “White and Black” theme, bringing a touch of winter magic to its sweet treats.
At the heart of this collaboration are three unique crepes, each designed to evoke the nostalgic charm of the “Ichigo Milk” candy. The “Shiro no Ichigo Milk” (White Ichigo Milk) crepe faithfully recreates the candy’s classic taste, offering a pure and sweet experience. For those seeking a richer, seasonal twist, the “Kuro no Ichigo Milk” (Black Ichigo Milk) crepe infuses the beloved strawberry milk flavor with decadent chocolate. Elevating the experience further, the “Specialite Royal Ichigo Milk” crepe promises a luxurious treat, generously adorned with strawberries for a truly opulent presentation. (Please note that the “Specialite Series” may not be available at all locations.)
Complementing the crepes are three enticing drinks, perfect for warming up or refreshing your palate. The “Shiro no Ichigo Milk Latte” and “Kuro no Ichigo Milk Latte” both feature creamy vanilla ice cream, real strawberry fruit, and a generous sprinkle of Candy Glitter®, a registered trademark of Sakuma Seika, adding a delightful, crunchy texture. For colder days, the “Ichigo Milk Hot Chocolate” offers a rich chocolate base, enhanced by the sweet and tangy aroma and satisfying crunch of Candy Glitter®.
Dipper Dan, which celebrates its 53rd anniversary in December 2025, has long been a staple in Japan’s dessert scene, holding the top spot in crepe chain sales according to Fuji Keizai research. Its commitment to bringing smiles with every bite is encapsulated in its slogan, “HAPPY tsutsumimasu!” (Wrapping happiness!). This latest partnership with Sakuma Seika, a brand equally cherished for its confectionery, is a testament to the enduring appeal of combining beloved flavors in innovative ways.
“The fusion of Dipper Dan’s beloved crepes with Sakuma Seika’s iconic Ichigo Milk candy feels like a perfect winter embrace!” shared a fan on social media, expressing the excitement surrounding the release. “The ‘white and black’ theme adds such a stylish touch.”
Such partnerships not only celebrate the heritage of classic Japanese treats but also push the boundaries of “kawaii” food culture, delivering fresh, visually appealing, and texturally exciting experiences to a global audience. The integration of a tactile element like Candy Glitter®, which Japanese consumers often associate with nostalgic candies, is a clever way to enhance the overall enjoyment, transforming a simple dessert into a multi-sensory event.
Don’t miss the chance to experience this limited-time “White and Black” Ichigo Milk collaboration menu. It’s an opportunity to indulge in a unique blend of flavors and textures that truly embodies the spirit of Japanese confectionery innovation.
