Discover the Seasonal 'Strawberry and Apple Cherry Blossom Parfait'
Spring has finally arrived, and with it comes a delightful treat to celebrate the cherry blossom season! The Strings Omotesando, located directly at Omotesando Station in Tokyo, will present its luxurious 'Strawberry and Apple Cherry Blossom Parfait' from April 1 to April 20, 2026. This sweet masterpiece can be enjoyed at Cafe & Dining ZelkovA on the first floor.
A Colorful Celebration of Spring
This parfait is not just a dessert; it’s an art piece that pays homage to the joyous arrival of spring. The parfait features fresh strawberries and sweet apples as its main attractions, elegantly dressed in creamy and chocolatey layers painted in soft pink hues reminiscent of cherry blossoms. The base of the parfait boasts an Assama tea jelly infused with rich caramelized apple compote, offering depth and warmth.
As you dive deeper into this delicious creation, you will encounter a crunchy cinnamon crumble that adds an irresistible texture and a delicately tinted cherry blossom cream that lightens the flavor. To elevate the experience, a sweet and sour berry sauce is generously drizzled over a rich, smooth caramel ice cream and a refreshing apple sorbet, both exquisitely topping the parfait.
To crown this beautiful creation, a delicate cherry blossom chocolate layer encapsulates the fruit, adorned with a meringue hiding the berry sauce and custard, all coming together to showcase fresh strawberries placed on top. As a finishing touch, a small chocolate apple ornament adds a whimsical flair, completing the colorful and exquisite dessert that’s meant to be appreciated in the splendidly blooming cherry blossom terrace.
Nighttime Cherry Blossom Parfaits
As if the daytime treat wasn’t enough, guests can indulge in a unique night parfait experience! The cherry blossom terrace transforms into a romantic ambiance after sunset, complete with breathtaking illuminations of the cherry blossoms. For those looking to wind down their day, a 'Night Parfait' will be available for reservation, allowing one to savor the delights of spring amidst the glowing cherry blossoms accompanied by their favorite drink.
