Nishiwaga High School Students and Local Shop Co-Develop Cheesecake for Test Sale

Nishiwaga High School and the Yukino Chikara Project Council have teamed up with local Kudo Confectionery Shop to develop 'yukiusagi', an original baked cheesecake. This collaboration is part of the school's inquiry-based learning program, 'Charm Discovery Lab', where students design product concepts and PR tools. The cheesecake features local YUDA yogurt and Nishiwaga-grown 'Red Fairy' strawberries, creating a red-and-white motif inspired by a rabbit in the snow. A test sale will be held on June 20, 2026, from 10:00 to 15:00 at the 'Heartful Shop Magokoro' inside Ezuriko Shopping Center PAL in Kitakami City. The cheesecake is priced at 700 yen (including tax) and is limited to 40 pieces. Students who planned the project will also participate in on-site sales and conduct surveys to explore future commercialization.
