Indulge in Fall-Winter Delights with 217 Niichinana’s Sugar-Free Mont Blanc
As the autumn leaves begin to fall, food enthusiasts can celebrate the arrival of seasonal flavors at the Greek yogurt specialty store, 217 Niichinana. Founded by HYV Corporation, this innovative and health-focused eatery combines aesthetic appeal with nutrition, offering a unique dining experience that embodies the spirit of “edible beauty.”
Starting from November 1, 2025, 217 Niichinana has unveiled an exclusive fall-winter menu feature—the Sugar-Free Purple Sweet Potato Mont Blanc. This delightful dish brings together the deep hues of the “Ayamurasaki” purple sweet potato with the creamy whiteness of their rich Greek yogurt, creating a visual feast reminiscent of art. Priced at 2,300 yen (including tax), this seasonal treat is set to delight the senses.
The menu will roll out in two phases; the first features the Hokkaido Pumpkin Mont Blanc crafted with fresh, additive-free Hokkaido squash, debuting on November 1. Following this, from November 22, patrons can savor the Purple Sweet Potato Mont Blanc that uses locally sourced purple sweet potatoes from Kyushu.
Crafting the Perfect Dessert
At the heart of this latest creation is a smooth paste made from Kyushu’s Ayamurasaki sweet potatoes. This serves as the base for the Mont Blanc cream, layered over homemade granola and silky Greek yogurt. To add an extra crunch, it is topped with nuts and coconut chunks, creating an unexpected textural contrast that excites the palate. Every dessert is meticulously handmade, ensuring that the experience is not only visually striking but also rich in flavors and sensations.
Stepping beyond the mere indulgence of sweet delights, 217 Niichinana is dedicated to health and wellness. All ingredients used are gluten-free, devoid of refined sugars, artificial sweeteners, color additives, and preservatives, allowing diners to enjoy the pure sweetness and taste of natural ingredients. For those who prefer a little sweetness, honey is available for guests to drizzle to taste, maintaining a healthy balance.
