Haagen-Dazs has launched its new Raspberry Gateau Chocolat Cake Bar in Japan, available nationwide from November 3, 2026. It is the first release in the brand’s new Cake Bar series, created to offer the rich, satisfying experience of biting into a chocolate cake.
The bar will be sold for a limited time at supermarkets, convenience stores, department stores, and other retailers across Japan. No end date is specified, so availability may vary by store while supplies last.
Raspberry Gateau Chocolat is a 72 ml chocolate ice cream bar priced at ¥373 (tax included). It combines chocolate ice cream, a moist rum-scented chocolate cake layer, raspberry sauce, and a smooth chocolate coating.
About the Haagen-Dazs Cake Bar
The new bar is designed around the texture and flavor of gateau chocolat. Its chocolate ice cream balances a deep bitter chocolate character with the taste of milk, while the cake layer is adjusted to remain moist even when eaten with ice cream. A small amount of rum adds depth to the chocolate flavor.

The flavor is built in layers rather than relying on chocolate alone. A bitter chocolate coating gives the bar a firm outer finish, while the ice cream underneath brings both cocoa intensity and milk richness. The cake component is carefully balanced with the ice cream’s moisture so that it retains a soft, cake-like bite.
The raspberry sauce provides the strongest contrast. Haagen-Dazs uses raspberries with pronounced fruit flavor and acidity, then adjusts the sauce to make its tartness stand out against the chocolate. This gives the ¥373 bar a sweet-and-sour finish instead of an entirely heavy chocolate profile.
Raspberry Gateau Chocolat is sold as an ice cream product and contains a small amount of alcohol from the cake component. The listed alcohol content is below 0.1%. Customers with allergies should check the ingredients, which include milk, egg, wheat, and soy.
