Cold prevention is essential as it can cool your stomachFinally, from the October event onwards, Takano Fruit Parlor's Order Buffet has become a fully online reservation system! Until August, reservations were made by phone or in-store on the 25th of each month. From the September event, the Shinjuku Takashimaya Store and Ikebukuro Tobu Store switched to online reservations, and from the October event, the Keikyu Kamiooka Store and Kawagoe Maruhiro Store also switched to online reservations. I heard rumors that at certain stores, you had to win a fierce flag battle at the opening dash to make a reservation, so maybe safety was a consideration. Anyway, it's good that the reservation method has changed to a peaceful one (a year ago, you could even make a reservation the day after the reservation start date, indicating its considerable popularity). This year, I went to Shinjuku in search of the "Fig and Persimmon Parfait"✨It's gone up by 1,100 yen since last year~w Seats are assigned to those who reserve early, and the order of items is also provided in the order of reservations, so it seems better to reserve early. But with three hours available, there should be little need to worry about running out of time, unless you can eat more than 10 items (those who can eat a lot). Since it's Halloween season in October, there's also a Halloween parfait♪ The Halloween parfait varies by store, so it's fun to check it out on the website. The Halloween parfait at the Shinjuku Takashimaya Store featured moon cookies, ghost cakes made of mochi, and a cross cake. Grapes, raspberries, blueberries, persimmons, etc... a variety of fruits in abundance! It was a visually appealing parfait with a wide variety of fruits. The Fig and Persimmon Parfait features sweet persimmons and fresh figs♪ Grapes, pears, chestnuts, and more all lived up to their deliciousness! As expected of Takano's fruits✨Delicious no matter where you take a bite, enjoying the autumn harvest♡ The highlight was the "Chestnut and Pear Plate Dessert" - a long Mont Blanc cream pie on top of a glass shortcake with chestnuts and pears, resembling the Marina Bay Sands. The voluminous appearance, crispy pie, and the fragrant almond tuile made me fall in love☆ I wanted to eat everything, so I ate too much this time (but looking back, I wish I had tried the pear parfait...). It seems like a good deal (I can't remember because my stomach was hurting too much), but apparently, the double points day, which is usually not available at buffets, was applied specially, and we received 12,000 yen worth of points. For two people, you can almost complete it in a day (25,000 yen for a 500 yen shopping voucher. A return rate of 2% is a bit stingy, but...) I wonder how long it will last... I should have listened carefully to the explanation (useless). Parfaits can be tough in the cold season, but if the seasonal menu strikes a chord, I'll put a heat pack on my stomach and visit again. I also want to try the stores in Ikebukuro and Kawagoe. Online reservations are truly appreciated!

I waited for about an hour during my visit on a weekend afternoon. Since it's the season for delicious peaches, I had the Yamanashi peach parfait. It was truly delicious. This old-fashioned fruit parlor is a must-visit for fruit lovers. The spacious and clean interior of the store is also nice.

This is the real deal. I will definitely revisit! The Peach Parfait costs 1760 yen and includes peach sauce, jelly, peach Bavarian cream, peach sorbet, milk ice cream, fresh peach, and whipped cream. The taste of the peach is still subtle, but it is a delicious parfait in its own right. This year, peaches are a treasure. Thank you for the meal.

I ordered the seasonal fruit parfait. The parfait itself was well-made, especially the milk component was delicious. The layers were well-prepared and enjoyable. However, the disappointing part was the crucial fruit. Other than the mango, the melon and cherries were subpar. The melon had a strong smell and was not ripe, while the cherries were hard, tasteless, and not sweet. To be honest, it would have been better if there were no fruits at all. The only good fruit was the mango, for some reason. If this parfait cost 1000 yen, I would give it 3 stars, but in reality, it was 1600 yen. I had high expectations going to a nationally renowned fruit parlor, so I was disappointed.

I went around 14:30 on Sunday. There was a decent line, and I waited for just under an hour. Shinjuku is always crowded on weekends, isn't it? The interior is bright and spacious with a white-based color scheme. Everything looks delicious, but I thought ordering a drink separately would be expensive! However, there are also value menus that come with a drink! Next time, I want to try the parfait.

Since the fire has been lit, it's peach season (laughs). How many times will I visit this year? The peach and cherry parfait costs 2200 yen and includes jelly, berry sauce, custard cream, peach sorbet, and vanilla ice cream topped with peach, cherry, and berry sherbet. The flavor of the peach is still developing, but the overall balance is wonderful and very delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I received a gift of puddings from the fruit parlor at Shinjuku Takashimaya. I tried the Peach Blancmange, Fruit Almond Jelly, and Fruit Mango Pudding. Among them, I surprisingly liked the Fruit Almond Jelly the most. I feel like going to eat a parfait again after a long time...

Invited by a friend, I went to Koya Fruit Parlor for a dessert festival. I never thought I would have the chance to have tea at Koya Fruit Parlor in my normal life, so I want to enjoy this opportunity. We ordered all the menus including musk melon, and I think I ate a lifetime's worth of sweet treats. My favorites were the roast beef sandwich and the strawberry parfait. My blood sugar spiked so I started feeling dizzy, so I will be leaving. Thank you for the feast.

I took a break and decided to stop by this place. I had a parfait with melon, mango, and strawberries. The melon and mango were perfectly ripe and juicy. The strawberries were sweet and tangy. The melon sherbet was sweet but refreshing! I enjoyed the variety of flavors and it was delicious until the last bite.

Holiday lunch plate with sandwich, fruit sandwich, and vegetable sandwich, along with a waffle parfait and a drink included. It feels like a great deal with plenty of food. The waffle was a bit dry, but overall everything was delicious.

Takanofruit Parlor is a beautiful and calming place to visit. After waiting in line for about 20 minutes, it was finally our turn to enter, but unfortunately, we were told that pets are not allowed inside. It was a shame because our dog was waiting patiently in a basket and behaving well.

I was in the mood for a parfait, so I met up with my sister at TAKANO. I thought it might be less crowded than the main store, but when we arrived at 1 o'clock, there were two groups ahead of us. However, we sat on the long bench, chatted, and were able to enter after about 10 minutes. - Strawberry parfait ¥1870 Both the front and back are cute. I may be getting used to the reliably delicious taste.

I used it during a shopping break. It was just the delicious strawberry season, so I had the original strawberry dessert "Strawberry Plate Dessert". Baked cheesecake, strawberry mousse, strawberry sauce, and iced tea were accents, and it was very delicious. The downside was that it was cold because the store was by the window.

Visit on weekends and wait for about 30 minutes. Some stores have limited edition parfaits, such as the strawberry waffle parfait for Valentine's Day. As it is a fruit shop, the parfaits are definitely 100% delicious. It is a place where even solo diners can easily enter.

I love going to a fruit buffet where I can eat as much as I want. They also serve afternoon tea, but the main attraction for me is the unlimited fruit buffet. They offer a variety of seasonal fruits that are beautifully cut and arranged by professional chefs. I especially enjoy the high-quality fruits at Koya Fruit Parlor. It's pure bliss to indulge in such luxury. I always look forward to my visits there.

As a fruit parlor, they have a wide variety of seasonal fruits, which is great. I actually wanted to eat chestnuts, but sadly I have a small appetite. I ended up ordering pear juice, which turned out to be unexpectedly rich. It was almost like solid pear juice? I couldn't finish the ice with pear juice in it. The seating area is spacious and comfortable.

After enjoying a delicious tonkatsu lunch at Tonkatsu Hinata, I headed to Takano Fruit Parlor in Times Square Shinjuku to try their limited-time chestnut parfait available only in September. Despite a long line of about 20 people, I was able to be seated in about 30 minutes. I ordered the chestnut parfait (1980 yen) of course. The chestnut parfait had a striking contrast of brown and yellow chestnut glace, which was very impressive. The brown chestnut glace had a wonderful chestnut aroma and sweetness. The creamy chestnut cream and chestnut ice cream were also delicious, with a decent chestnut flavor. The second half of the parfait included vanilla ice cream, black tea granite, and nut-flavored ice cream, followed by caramel jelly at the end. Although the chestnut flavor diminished towards the end, the vanilla ice cream from Takano was delicious, and the nut-flavored ice cream was fragrant and tasty. Overall, the chestnut parfait was a delicious treat, with the rich chestnut flavor of the brown chestnut glace and the soft chestnut cream in the first half leaving a strong impression. Thank you for the meal. You can find more details on my blog "Eating, Taking Photos, Writing" at https://tabetorukaku.com/

Located on the 5th floor of Takashimaya. When you enter from the entrance, the interior is spacious and very pleasant! The white-themed interior gives a clean and pleasant feeling. I tried the "Weekday Sandwich Plate ~Grape~" available only on weekdays from 2:00pm. It's a grape lover's dream, with lots of grapes. The colorful presentation is cute, just like the interior of the store. It comes with a fruit sandwich and a waffle, perfect for afternoon tea. The grape sherbet was delicious. The fruit sandwich was also good. The seating is spacious even for solo diners, which is nice. Perfect for after shopping.♡

This season's best peach, updated. I chose this peach parfait for 2090 yen using 3 tickets that I had accumulated from the fair. The peach is full of sugar and juice, overflowing with ripeness. With each bite, it was a true delight. Packed with peach flavor and sweetness on top and inside, I thoroughly enjoyed it. How many more times will I be able to enjoy peaches this year? I am so happy to have encountered such a delicious treat in the latter half of the season.

This time it's something different. Half Roast Beef Sandwich for 825 yen, Seasonal Trifle with Peach for 1540 yen. The half sandwich seems to be limited after 5 pm. It was very delicious with toasted bread, spicy mayonnaise, tomato, and roast beef all coming together perfectly. The Seasonal Trifle is a dessert made with layers of sponge cake and whipped cream. It also includes lychee-flavored jelly, peach cream, and jelly. Although the amount of peach is small, the fresh peach adds a cake-like flavor, making it very delicious. The evening at this restaurant is quite a hidden gem. It's likely to become a habit.
