Introducing the World's First Wedding Dress-Inspired Dessert at Antonio Riva Milano Café

A Sweet Celebration of Elegance

The Strings Omotesando, located in the heart of Tokyo's Aoyama district, is set to unveil a captivating culinary experience that pays homage to bridal elegance. From August 29 to September 17, 2025, the café will host the Antonio Riva Milano Café, a limited-time collaboration with Italy's prestigious high-end bridal brand, Antonio Riva Milano.

Antonio Riva has been at the forefront of combining creativity and tradition for over 25 years, consistently elevating Italian haute couture. This upcoming collaboration coincides with the grand opening of Antonio Riva Milano's flagship store in Tokyo's Yaesu, marking a significant step in the brand's expansion into the Japanese market.

The Wedding Dress Parfait

One of the highlights of this collaboration is the stunning Wedding Dress Parfait, a world-first creation. This dessert reflects the structural beauty and elegance akin to an actual wedding dress, meticulously crafted by Antonio Riva himself. Each parfait is adorned with a bouquet and designed to be visually striking from every angle, embodying the essence of bridal beauty.

The parfait consists of a base layer featuring zesty lemon sauce, creamy fromage whipped cream, and jasmine gelée, layered with crunchy coconut crumble. On top, diners can enjoy tropical flavors with fresh mango, vanilla, and coconut ice cream, all under a delicate veil of white that simulates a wedding gown. This dessert is not just a feast for the eyes but also offers a refreshing taste perfect for summer.

The Celebration Cocktail

In addition to the parfait, guests can indulge in the Celebration Cocktail, which symbolizes love and beauty through the use of rose-themed ingredients. This cocktail blends the fragrance of roses with berry flavors and a unique iced tea blend from The Strings, enhanced with a hint of cognac for a richer taste. The elegant presentation, adorned with rose decorations, makes it a perfect toast to love and celebration.

Hosting the Antonio Riva Milano Café

During the event, the café’s terrace will be transformed with decorations inspired by Antonio Riva's Milan atelier, creating an enchanting ambiance for visitors. Both the Wedding Dress Parfait and Celebration Cocktail will be available for a limited time, making it a must-visit destination for dessert lovers and bridal enthusiasts alike.

The Wedding Dress Parfait is priced at ¥2,750, while the Celebration Cocktail is available for ¥2,400 (alcoholic) and ¥2,000 (non-alcoholic), with all prices inclusive of tax and service fee. The café operates from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM, with last orders for the parfait at 5:00 PM.
