Indulge in the Art of Layered Desserts at Mezumi Tokyo

Set in the dynamic heart of Tokyo, Mezumi Tokyo, Autograph Collection is a modern luxury hotel that offers an exceptional culinary experience. Located in Minato, it embodies the spirit of Tokyo through its designs and flavors. From April 1 to June 30, 2026, visitors can savor a limited-time offering: the layered matcha and ganache parfait, inspired by the tranquil ambiance of a traditional tea room and its round windows.

This beautifully crafted dessert invites guests to experience a harmonious blend of deep matcha bitterness and creamy chocolate ganache, artfully presented in layered form. The chefs at the fabulous bar and lounge, Whisk, have designed this parfait to echo the delicate balance of flavors and textures found in traditional Japanese sweets, while adding a creative modern twist.

A Culinary Delight

The layering concept changes with each season at Mezumi Tokyo, providing guests with new and exciting flavors throughout the year. The current parfait draws inspiration from the soft light filtering through the shoji screens of a tea room and the serene view framed by a round window. Each layer has been carefully crafted to provide a unique taste experience:

• - Top Layer: The parfait is crowned with a round cocoa cookie resembling a tea room window, embellished with finely textured white chocolate that creates visual and textural harmony. This layer is complemented by a rich matcha ice cream and crispy kinako (roasted soybean flour) grissini, adding delightful crunch and aroma.

• - First Layer: Beneath the cookie lies a matcha jelly prepared with agar, presenting a gentle texture and a refined matcha bitterness, paired with crumbled sponge cake to enhance the overall flavor.

• - Second Layer: Following is the whiskey ganache, which merges sweetness with a delightful bitterness, leaving an aromatic whiskey essence on the palate, along with red bean inclusions to bring forth harmonious Japanese and chocolate influences.

• - Third Layer: The smooth matcha panna cotta with a complete strawberry at its center offers refreshing fruitiness that cuts through the matcha’s bitterness for a perfect balance.

• - Final Layers: The parfait concludes with layers of matcha sponge and ganache, ensuring that the rich matcha fragrance and bittersweet chocolate linger until the last bite.

Perfect for Spring Gatherings

Complete with textures like crispy cocoa cookies, delicate white chocolate lattices that mimic shoji patterns, and fragrant kinako grissini, this dessert melds both Japanese and Western culinary traditions. The flavor journey continues with optional additional black sugar syrup and matcha sauce, allowing guests to customize their experience further.

Join us in the elegant springtime setting overlooking the lush Hamarikyu Gardens for a memorable treat. Whether enjoyed alone or shared with friends, the layered matcha and ganache parfait is more than just a dessert; it’s a celebration of seasonality and creativity in every bite.
