Enjoy the Urban Oasis: Picnic Baskets at The Strings Omotesando

As the new leaves begin to emerge along Omotesando, The Strings Omotesando invites you to experience the charm of a picturesque picnic with its limited edition ‘Picnic Basket’ available for purchase. Set in the lush surroundings of the New York Street Terrace, the baskets will be available in limited quantities from March 2 to July 15, 2026.

Nestled within the vibrant greenery of Omotesando’s cryptomeria trees, the terrace creates a serene escape in the heart of the city. This year, the popular picnic basket returns to Cafe & Dining ZelkovA, allowing guests to relish a unique blend of delicious, visually appealing, and fun outdoor dining experiences.

What’s Inside the Picnic Basket?

Packed with a colorful array of six delightful items, the picnic basket is designed for those seeking a stylish and tasty outing. The star attractions are two types of sandwiches: a bagel sandwich featuring the perfect pairing of smoked salmon and cream cheese, and a generous grilled chicken panini with chipotle aioli.

In addition to the sandwiches, guests can enjoy a refreshing salad brimming with seasonal vegetables and a portion of fish and chips that strikes the perfect balance of seasoning. The dessert selection includes a delightful croissant-waffle (croughnut) paired with berries and a yogurt served with seasonal fruits.

To quench your thirst, choose from a selection of three fruity lemonades: Mixed Berry Lemonade, Lemon & Mint Squash, or Wakayama Mandarin & Orange Ade. Guests can elevate their picnic experience with a glass of sparkling wine, transforming it into a sophisticated terrace picnic—perfect for unwinding in style.

During this delightful season when the terrace invites you to spend time outdoors, indulge in this charming picnic experience that combines taste, fun, and stunning photo opportunities.
