A Special Set for Comparative Tasting



INTERSECT BY LEXUS - TOKYO, which opened in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo, as a space to experience the Lexus lifestyle, based on the theme of "connecting with the city, and where people and cars intersect," will be offering a limited-time menu from this autumn through winter.


The joint development of this menu was undertaken by Ken's Cafe Tokyo, renowned as the "master of gateau chocolat." This collaboration came to fruition as the craftsmanship of Lexus resonated with the dedication, passion, and professionalism of chef Kenji Ujiie in his gateau chocolat creations.

Special Gateau Chocolat




Ken's Cafe Tokyo is known for its gateau chocolat, which uses "KEN'S," a Grand Cru chocolate specially blended for Chef Ujiie by Jeanluca Franzoni, founder of Domori, considered the pinnacle of chocolate. Baked without flour or alcohol, it is a masterpiece that allows you to enjoy the rich, floral aroma of cacao.


At INTERSECT, a "Gateau Chocolat Set" is offered for 1,000 yen (tax included), allowing guests to simultaneously taste the gateau chocolat at room temperature, reminiscent of a "terrine chocolat," and warm, like a "fondant chocolat." The room-temperature version is served with a lightly sweetened whipped cream, while the warm version comes with homemade white miso ice cream. The set also includes a hojicha chai developed exclusively for this offering. Additionally, an original chocolate cocktail, "Chocolatini," made with "KEN'S," will be available.


Perfect for autumn and winter, these chocolates offer a special indulgence for the mind and body within a space that embodies the Lexus brand. This limited-time experience is available only from September 21st until the end of March (scheduled).
