Tenryu-ji Parfait

The most popular Japanese parfait with the image of a mountain from Tenryu-ji Temple, a World Heritage Site, where you can see autumn leaves and beautiful deep greenery in summer.

Uji’s organically grown matcha tea and roasted green tea, which represent Japan’s representative tea culture from ancient times, are served with ice cream, and the sweetness is modest in consideration of the atmosphere of an adult.
You can enjoy Shiratama, Warabimochi, seasonal sweetness, Yatsuhashi, and Kyoto-ness in one plate. It goes well with warm matcha.

Millennium Love Parfait

It features a color reminiscent of the faint love of the Heian period represented by the Genji story.
This parfait is also accented with an umbrella, topped with Uji matcha ice cream, which is made with purple and the season is coming soon. This sweet is recommended for those who want to experience an elegant atmosphere.

Katsura River Parfait

A parfait in a glass with the image of the Katsura River flowing under the Togetsu Bridge, which is one of the most famous sightseeing spots in Kyoto, Arashiyama. It is a dish that you can feel the wabi-sabi that is a habit of fusing black honey kinako ice cream & purple sweet potato ice cream with kinako warabi mochi and shiratama.

* Each parfait bowl varies depending on the store.

Sending a story that lives in the city of Kyoto

When you go sightseeing in Kyoto, you will often see the buildings that are unique to Kyoto, which has a long history as a capital. On the other hand, Kyoto is a place where many attractions are packed, not just buildings. The three types of Japanese parfaits at eXcafe express the charm of Kyoto, and all of them are based on the themes of “buildings,” “story,” and “nature” that represent Kyoto.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

[Shinjuku Gyoen x Naked] NAKED Autumn Foliage in Shinjuku Gyoen 2023 to be held

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
