Strawberry Fair Begins at Shiseido Parlour Commemorating 115th Anniversary!

Shiseido Parlour was established in 1902 with Shiseido Chouzai Yakkyoku, bringing Japan both its first soda water and also ice cream, which was still rare at the time, which makes 2017 its 115th anniversary! Wanting to celebrate this momentous occasion, the “Kodawari no Ichigo Fair” (“Carefully Chosen Strawberry Fair”) began at the Salon de Cafe location in Ginza in January and will last through March. Visitors will be able to enjoy carefully picked strawberries from all over Japan in delicious strawberry parfaits.

The second menu was made available on Feb. 1, and it features Nohime strawberries from Gifu Prefecture and Fukuharuka strawberries from Fukushima Prefecture. The strawberry parfaits feature vanilla ice cream made using the same traditional recipe from when the business was established and homemade sauce using those same carefully chosen strawberries. The Nohime parfait can also be enjoyed as an assiette de dessert.

Second Menu
Available Period: Feb. 1 (Wed.) to 28 (Tue.), 2017

◆ Gifu Prefecture, Ibi District, Nohime Strawberry Parfait: ¥1,890
These strawberries emit a strong scent and have a soft, concentrated sweetness. They are a popular strawberry even for the Shiseido Parlour “Kodawari no Ichigo Fair.”

◆ Fukushima Prefecture, Kagamiishi Plantation, Fukuharuka Special Strawberry Parfait: ¥2,180
Very few Fukuharuka strawberries are produced even within Fukushima Prefecture, and even the cultivation is an arduous process. These large strawberries have been used for a gorgeous parfait. The slight acidity brings out the sweetness, and they have a rich scent.
