Discover the Delightful "CHOYA Melting Ume Fruit Gratin"

The CHOYA Ginza BAR, well-known for its exquisite umeshu cocktails, is gearing up to delight dessert lovers with a new offering: the "CHOYA Melting Ume Fruit Gratin." Available from December 18, 2025, to February 27, 2026, this dish elegantly combines fine ume ingredients with crème brûlée and a sumptuous fruit gratin.

As the winter chill sets in, the gratin promises a comforting moment with its warm, baked fruits boasting a gentle tanginess, perfectly melded with the rich sweetness of custard cream. It's a true luxury destined to warm your heart!

What Makes It Special?

The "CHOYA Melting Ume Fruit Gratin" features a delightful blend of umeshu combined with strawberries, oranges, and bananas, all lovingly baked to perfection. In a unique twist, half of the gratin is caramelized using a gas burner to enhance its rich flavors, while the other half is topped with velvety vanilla ice cream. This combination creates a beautiful contrast between warm and cold textures.

You can also enjoy three distinctive types of syrup: "Ume Yoghurt Foam Syrup," "Ultimate Ume Syrup," and "Luxury Strawberry Ume Syrup," allowing you to customize your dessert experience according to your preference.

Moreover, this innovative ume dessert will be offered in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic variations, catering to various preferences.

More to Indulge In

Guests can pair the "CHOYA Melting Ume Fruit Gratin" with a wide selection of dishes that highlight ume flavors, ranging from appetizer options to desserts designed to complement umeshu. For those keen on exploring different tastes, the bar offers a flight set featuring 3 to 5 varieties of umeshu and a choice of popular umeshu cocktails, including non-alcoholic options, ensuring a delightful tasting experience.

With over 100 drinks to choose from, including a two-hour and thirty-minute all-you-can-drink plan (last order 30 minutes prior), the bar's "Ume Afternoons & High Tea" course is perfect for a relaxed outing. Additionally, hot beverages like coffee and tea will be part of the unlimited drink options!
