In Fukuoka, there is a shop where you can enjoy night parfaits that are like works of art! The one I tried this time was the "Wintering Swan" (priced around 2000 yen), which beautifully depicts a swan wintering. The whole parfait is made to look like a swan with white chocolate for the beak and feathers, mascarpone cream for the plumage. Inside, it contains white chocolate, mascarpone cream, Valrhona 70% chocolate gelato, meringue, fresh strawberries, almond galette, Griottine cherries with cloves, rhubarb sorbet, genoise, cocoa pulp mousse, rhubarb confiture, mascarpone jelly, and night bean charcoal agar. The sweetness of the chocolate is strong, but there are also hints of rhubarb and strawberry acidity, as well as the Japanese flavor of the charcoal agar, creating a paradise of changing flavors and textures in your mouth. While all the ingredients are delicious, the chocolates and strawberries are particularly exquisite! Unlike regular parfaits that are overflowing with ingredients, this parfait intentionally leaves space and features beautiful decorations, making it almost too beautiful to eat! This parfait is said to bring good dreams when eaten at night, and indeed, you will feel a sense of happiness after enjoying it. Although it is a bit pricey, it is perfect as a treat for yourself or as a gift for someone special. Follow Instagram momono._.o for more Fukuoka gourmet recommendations!
