Experience the Chestnut Fair at Jolly Pasta
Autumn has arrived, and with it comes a delightful celebration at Jolly Pasta, the renowned pasta specialty restaurant located in Minato, Tokyo, operated by CEO Tetsushi Minami. Starting September 11, the restaurant will launch its
Chestnut Fair, spotlighting three exquisite dessert offerings featuring Italy's finest chestnuts.
The Chestnut Fair invites guests to indulge in a rich experience with its innovative use of
Italian chestnut paste in various delectable forms. The fair highlights a refreshing parfait and honey toast, both generously topped with this lush chestnut paste. Moreover, patrons can relish the exquisite blend of
chestnut gelato, certified by the Italian Gelato Association, alongside creamy vanilla gelato, creating a pleasurable harmony with the luxurious chestnut paste. At Jolly Pasta, the combination of flavors is designed to provide a taste that truly embodies the essence of fall.
Delightful Dessert Options
Fresh Mont Blanc Parfait - 790 yen (tax included: 869 yen)
Indulge in the
Fresh Mont Blanc Parfait, which features a generous layer of Italian chestnut paste celebrating its rich flavor and the elegant sweetness of chestnuts in syrup. Complemented by refreshing vanilla gelato, each bite is enhanced by crunchy chocolate flakes and the unique texture of bitter caramel sauce that mingles with a soft coffee jelly. This parfait not only captivates the palate but also varies in texture, making it a delightful treat to enjoy during the fall season.
Glass Dessert - Chestnut - 420 yen (tax included: 462 yen)
For those seeking a lighter option, the
Glass Dessert - Chestnut is a perfect choice. It combines marzipan chestnuts with chunky chestnut paste, creating a nutty layered delight. This dessert includes mascarpone panna cotta made from Hokkaido, which brings a milky smoothness that pairs well with the dense chestnut paste and gelato, along with the contrast of bitter caramel sauce. This is an ideal dessert size for a satisfying finish to any meal.
Honey Toast with Fresh Mont Blanc - 590 yen (tax included: 649 yen)
Another unique offering is the
Honey Toast with Fresh Mont Blanc, delicately toasted and infused with olive oil and honey. Topped with delightful chestnut gelato, fresh chestnut paste, and bitter caramel sauce, this dish is finally adorned with a caramelized chestnut. Its toasty exterior, combined with the rich flavors of chestnuts, promises an exquisite culinary experience.
