Delimo Parfait

Patisserie & Cafe Delimo] opens for the first time at Kyoto Station! Specializing in new chocolate sweets

Hello everyone. The WebLeaf editorial department has received information that another new store has opened at JR Kyoto Isetan, where new stores are popping up one after another. We were told that there was a preview of the opening, so we went right away!

The location is in front of the JR West Exit ticket gate, formerly known as "Subco JR Kyoto Isetan. When you go up to the third floor of the newly opened restaurant area "JR West Gate Eating Paradise," you will see the word "Delimo.

Chocolates and cakes lined the showcase in front.

Delimo has several stores in Tokyo, and this is the second store in the Kansai region, following Kobe. Mr. Eguchi, the Japanese chef chocolatier, told us, "I created this store with the intention of opening a completely new store in Kyoto, rather than recognizing it as a 'Kyoto store.

Once inside, the left side of the room is filled with chocolates, financiers, and other gifts that make great souvenirs.

A café space was spread out on the right side as one entered the restaurant.

Delimo Parfait

What an extravagant parfait!

Also available only at the Kyoto store is a special parfait, called "Melange Fruie KYOTO Matsuri" for 2,484 yen.

Champagne jelly is topped with fresh strawberries, cookies, green tea and chocolate ice cream, and golden blonde chocolate. The best part is the optional rich chocolate sauce. You can enjoy it by pouring it over the top as you like.

The parfait is ideal: the rich chocolate and ice cream go perfectly with the tartness of the strawberries, and the cookies are lightly refreshed by the jelly. The various textures kept me from getting bored, and before I knew it, I had finished my meal.

When you visit [Patisserie & Cafe Delimo Kyoto], which offers a variety of other menu items, be sure to stop by and enjoy the limited-edition flavors when you visit Kyoto Station.
