Experience a Strawberry Dessert Course at J'apprends

Nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of Nishiazabu, the French restaurant J'apprends invites food enthusiasts to partake in an exclusive two-day dessert course, showcasing the exquisite versatility of strawberries. On April 25 and 26, 2026, this culinary gem will serve an extraordinary dessert menu where every dish celebrates this beloved berry. With skilled chefs at the helm, enjoy a unique experience that marries creativity with seasonal flavors.

A Unique Dining Concept

J'apprends (ジャプォン), which opened its doors in 2023, is not just another eatery; it's an intimate venue with seating for only 11 guests. Designed by the renowned designer Yasumichi Morita of GLAMOROUS co.,ltd., the interior features a lavish gold motif that transports diners into a world of culinary elegance. At J'apprends, the concept of "SF FRENCH" is brought to life, offering courses that blend traditional French techniques with innovative use of spices and herbs.

In recognition of its artistic dining experience, J'apprends was awarded the Silver Prize in the Restaurants & Bars category at the 2024 MUSE Design Awards. The restaurant's commitment to quality and creativity is evident in every dish, particularly its seasonal desserts that have become a hot topic among dessert connoisseurs.

Strawberries Take Center Stage

The highlight of this special dessert course is, unsurprisingly, strawberries. Utilizing various cultivars of this cherished fruit, the menu promises a dynamic range of flavors and presentations. Starting with a refreshing "Red Salad" featuring a tangy beet purée as dressing, the course leads diners through a delightful progression of six meticulously crafted dishes.

Following the salad, guests will be treated to a "Strawberry Terrine," created with layers of creamy texture and sweet notes, and the exotic "Strawberry and Coconut Vacherin," which features coconut-flavored meringue paired with tropical fruits. A standout dish is the "Strawberry Rice Pudding," a whimsical adaptation of the traditional French dessert. This dish incorporates fluffy Italian rice and red rice for a delightful texture, finished with a sprinkle of cherry blossom powder that evokes the essence of sakura mochi.

To conclude the meal, the pièce de résistance is the "Strawberry and Rose Parfait," featuring a delicate rose mousse and roasted beets, where the sweet-tartness of strawberries harmonizes beautifully with the fragrant notes of rose. Each course will be paired with three thoughtfully crafted non-alcoholic cocktails, enhancing the dining experience with unique flavors, while additional alcoholic pairings featuring strawberry-friendly spirits will be available for those who wish to indulge further.

Special Appearances and Events

In a growing trend, J'apprends has seen the popularity of its seasonal parfait, which has been a hit at various events, including the upcoming sweets festival "Ma Patisserie" at Isetan Shinjuku from May 29 to June 1, 2026. At this event, they plan to introduce two exclusive parfaits, including a pineapple parfait infused with kaffir lime essence—an exciting continuation of their creative dessert journey.

Limited Time Offer

This two-day dessert course follows a successful debut last December, where requests for an all-dessert menu were fulfilled. The event will allow sweet lovers to appreciate the artistry and intricacy of desserts designed for enjoyment beyond just a finishing touch to a meal.
