A Stellar New Dessert Unveiled at The CHOYA Ginza BAR This October

The CHOYA Ginza BAR, renowned for its exquisite ume-based cocktails, is set to introduce a captivating new wagashi, the "Ume Momo no Yokan - Hoshizora to Tsukiakari". This innovative dessert is available from October 6 to December 17, showcasing a creative take on Japanese sweets. Inspired by the twinkling stars of autumn night skies and a glowing full moon, this dish elegantly combines layers of flavor and texture, making it a must-try for dessert lovers.

A Symphony of Flavors

The Ume Momo no Yokan features a beautifully crafted yokan that portrays a starry sky, created with a blend of Nanko ume, white bean paste, white peach, and Earl Grey tea. This layer is delicately topped with a vibrant butterfly pea and agar jelly layer, which evokes the enchanting deep blues of a clear night sky. To enhance the presentation, the dish is adorned with shimmering gold leaf. Accompanying this is a piece of sweet, ripe Nanko ume, preserved in honey and sugar to preserve its integrity, offering a sweet balance of flavors.

Three Distinct Syrups

Completing this dessert experience are three specially crafted ume syrups, each providing a unique taste sensation:
1. Ume Milk: A smooth and refreshing syrup made from Kishu Nanko ume and dairy.
2. Supreme Ume: A rich syrup that uses 100% ripe Nanko, delivering a fragrant and intense flavor.
3. Ume Strawberry: Combining the rich flavors of ume and strawberry for a delectable pairing.

This interplay of textures and tastes promises a delightful culinary journey, perfect for enjoying the long autumn evenings.
