Indulge in the Midnight Escape Parfait at The Strings Omotesando
From June 9, 2026, The Strings Omotesando welcomes a new decadent treat to its TIME NEST BAR LOUNGE: the Midnight Escape Parfait. This exclusive dessert is a refined take on the trendy "shime parfait," designed to offer a unique experience befitting a bar lounge. With a theme reflecting the lounge's identity of “forgetting time,” the Midnight Escape Parfait invites patrons to indulge and escape from the everyday hustle.
Crafted to perfection, this parfait balances refreshing citrus with rich chocolate and a distinct coffee flavor. The combination results in a complex and sophisticated adult palate that harmonizes sweetness with a dose of bittersweet notes. The parfait is intricately layered within a martini glass, presenting itself as a visually stunning creation.
At the base, you’ll find a delightful orange jam coupled with aromatic coffee jelly made from The Strings' own coffee blend, topped with smooth whipped cream. A crunchy crumble adds texture, while vanilla-scented chocolate complements the concoction. The indulgent chocolate ice cream pairs splendidly with a tangy orange sorbet, providing a refreshing contrast. To elevate the dish further, luxurious caramelized orange and fig compote grace the top, finished off with a bold chocolate decoration.
As a hidden gem just steps from Omotesando Station, the bar lounge becomes a sanctuary away from the bustling city life. Here, you can unwind and enjoy a sweet farewell to your evening amidst a luxurious ambiance. The Midnight Escape Parfait makes an ideal dessert choice, especially for those who might not typically indulge in such treats, offering a delightful way to conclude any night.
