“Yagien softcream & coffee” will newly open on the 2nd floor of the barbecue restaurant, “Hokkaido Yakiniku Yagien”, which is supervised by EXILE SHOKICHI and operated by LDH kitchen Inc. (Head office: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hiroyuki Suzuki), on September 20, 2026 (Sun.)!
The main menu’s soft serve ice cream is made with 100% milk from “KOBAYASHI FARM” in Ebetsu City,
and was jointly developed with “K.L.I.M”, a popular sweets shop that, like “Hokkaido Yakiniku Yagien”, has its main store in Kiyota Ward. After repeated rounds of testing together with SHOKICHI, a one-of-a-kind soft serve ice cream with a uniquely fresh, creamy texture was created using carefully selected ingredients in Hokkaido. The cafe also offers a selection of authentic menu items, including exquisite parfaits and Basque cheesecake made with this soft serve ice cream, as well as house-roasted coffee ground from whole beans in the shop.
Additionally, the store can be used as a bar, allowing customers to enjoy a relaxing time with drinks that are not offered at the yakiniku restaurant on the first floor.
Customers can fully enjoy yakiniku on the first floor, then head to the second floor for a parfait, coffee, or drinks to finish off the meal, or simply take a break at the café & bar. The space can be enjoyed however they like.

【What is K.L.I.M?】
The shop is characterized by its “safe and secure sweets”, made with ingredients that are carefully selected in Hokkaido while reducing preservatives and additives as much as possible. Representative director Tominaga has over 10 years of experience in the soft ice cream industry and currently serves as chairman of the “Kiyota Sweets Promotion Council”.
Tominaga, who grew up in Kiyota and attended the same elementary, junior high, and high schools as Yagien Head Chef Kiya, and SHOKICHI, who spent his university years in Kiyota, shared a desire to give back to their local community. Together, they worked as “Team Kiyota” to develop Yagien’s original soft serve ice cream.

【What is KOBAYASHI FARM?】
KOBAYASHI FARM, located in Ebetsu City, Hokkaido, is a historic dairy farm that began dairy farming in 1932 and currently raises more than 550 dairy cows. The farm adopts free-stall barns that provide a free-range environment for dairy cows to grow stress-free, and high-quality raw milk is produced by feeding them high-quality feed produced by the farm itself.
Additionally, the farm is also committed to environmentally friendly circular agriculture by setting biogas plants so as to turn excreta of the cows into fertilizers or fuel for power generation. Furthermore, the dairy product brand “KOBAYASHI FARM Story”, of which the products are made of the milk from KOBAYASHI FARM, is widely popular.
牛 Impressed by these initiatives, SHOKICHI had previously requested that Yagien sell cup ice cream made with milk from KOBAYASHI FARM at “Yagien Ballpark”, establishing a close relationship between the farm and Yagien.
