Le Royage: A New Frontier in Royal Milk Tea Desserts
Le Royage is set to open its doors at the Isetan Shinjuku store on July 15, 2026. This innovative brand, run by Broad Edge Advisors led by CEO Eiyoshi Maruoka, aims to redefine the way we experience royal milk tea through exquisite desserts.
The Concept: Eating Royal Milk Tea
Renowned chocolatier Kazuki Eguchi has spent countless hours understanding chocolate and tea, leading him to the unique concept of "eating royal milk tea." This idea comes to life through carefully selected tea leaves that enhance the aroma and elevate the dessert experience.
Every bite of Le Royage treats invites you into a world of rich flavors and delightful fragrances, making for a truly indulgent tea time experience.
Unique RMT% (Royal Milk Tea Percentage)
Each product at Le Royage comes with an RMT% label, mirroring the concept of cacao percentages in chocolate. This percentage signifies how immersed you can be in the world of royal milk tea with each bite, emphasizing the qualitative experience over mere ratios.
