Indulge in Seasonal Fruits in the Hotel's Cool, Luxurious Ambiance
The Strings by InterContinental Tokyo, located in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has introduced its first-ever "Strings Parfait." The parfait, crafted with an abundance of exquisite seasonal fruits by Executive Chef Patissier Takashi Suzuki's delicate sensibility, is available in two varieties: peach and Shine Muscat. While preserving the freshness of the fruit, the layered components enhance the fruit's aroma and flavor, creating a sophisticated taste with a refreshing finish.
The "Peach Parfait," featuring fragrant and juicy domestic peaches, is paired with lemon verbena, which complements the peaches beautifully. Composed of white peach and lemon verbena compote and jelly, along with lemon verbena, it offers a complex aroma and flavor. Layers of white peach sorbet, the sweet and tart sauce from "Peche de Vigne," a French red peach known as the "peach of the vineyard," smooth mousse, and gentle vanilla cream create a delightful experience with varying textures and tastes in every bite. Accented with pearl-like spherical chocolate cereals for a pleasant crunch, this elegant creation balances the gentle sweetness and subtle acidity of the peach with the refreshing notes of lemon verbena and the richness of the cream.

The "Shine Muscat Parfait," luxuriously adorned with Shine Muscat grapes, celebrated for their satisfying pop and noble aroma, is a masterful layering of refreshing white grape compote, smooth jelly, subtly sweet crème chantilly, vanilla ice cream, and a rich, honey-like noble rot wine mousse. The juicy flesh of the Shine Muscat, which can be eaten with the skin on, the milky flavor of the crème chantilly, the texture of the chocolate cereals, and the refreshing sweetness of the jelly combine exquisitely, making it a delightful, sophisticated dessert for adults.
Spend a cool summer dessert time with these delightful, exquisite parfaits.
