An Exquisite Addition to the Premier Series from Wako

This summer, Wako Ginza Annex presents a new addition to its acclaimed Premier series: the delectable Premier Mango, subtitled "Floraison de l’Ete" – or "Summer Bloom". As the fifth installment in this prestigious line of fresh cakes, the Premier Mango shines brightly among seasonal offerings, promising a tantalizing experience for dessert lovers.

Delight in the Premier Mango

Available until July 31st, this 10cm diameter cake, priced at 5,616 yen (tax included), features the finest apple mangoes sourced from Kochi Prefecture at their peak ripeness. To capture the essence of summer, the cake showcases thin layers of ripe mango, elegantly stacked to resemble a blooming flower. Each slice reveals the indulgent sweetness, velvety texture, and aromatic fragrance of the mangoes.

Inside, a perfect balance of flavors awaits. The cake layers include coconut cream, fresh cream, a mango and passion fruit jelly, and custard cream, all carefully designed to enhance the luscious sweetness of the mango with a hint of acidity and richness. This enchanting creation stands as a testament to Wako's craft, inviting you to indulge in the essence of summer.

In addition to the Mango cake, Wako is introducing a new selection of frozen parfait sets, allowing you to enjoy the taste of their renowned tea salon at home. Priced at 4,968 yen for a set of three, or 1,512 yen each, these parfaits have been meticulously crafted to preserve the creamy ice cream's smoothness and the fresh fruits’ juiciness.

1. Mango Parfait: A tropical treat, it layers mango and coconut with passion fruit and white chocolate, complemented by a refreshing lime jelly for a light finish.
