🍓 Strawberry Parfait: Worth Every Yen
As soon as I sat down, I ordered the signature Strawberry Parfait (いちごパフェ) without hesitation. Japanese strawberries tend to be more tart than Korean ones, but Kajitsuen Liebel uses premium strawberries selected for their sweetness.
1. Stunning Presentation
The moment the parfait arrived, I couldn’t help but gasp. Strawberries fill the glass from bottom to top. Unlike budget parfaits that bulk up with cornflakes, this one relies purely on fresh cream, ice cream, and fruit.
2. Taste & Value Analysis
- Price: ¥2,680 (tax included)
- Strawberries: Perfectly ripe, juicy, and fresh—not a single mushy spot
- Cream: Lightly sweetened and rich, complementing the fruit without overpowering it
- Hidden Layers: Sherbet and vanilla ice cream inside add wonderful texture
At around ¥2,680 (about 25,000 KRW), it might seem pricey, but considering the sheer amount of fruit, it’s actually great value. This is easily one of the most satisfying dessert cafes in Tokyo.
🍯 Morning & Lunch Pro Tips
The best way to avoid crowds and save money is to visit during morning hours.
🌞 Morning Set (09:00–11:00)
If you visit before 11 AM, you can enjoy a set that includes one drink at a discounted price. (Note: Morning sets include only 1 drink, not unlimited refills!)
