Shinjuku Takano Fruits Parlor on Postcard

"Japan's fascination with flawless fruit is one of those aspects of the country's culture that surprises many visitors. A great way to indulge in it is with a fruit parfait or a glass of freshly squeezed juice at Takano Fruit Parlor. Just minutes from Shinjuku Station, Takano features a menu that changes seasonally to showcase aromatic and juicy fruits at their peak of ripeness. Parfaits are made with precisely cut fruit that's served with waffles, soft cream, or custard pudding. This is a chance to try the famous muskmelon, which can go for hundreds of dollars, in a fruit parfait that is available year-round."

3.5 overall. Didn't make a reservation and waited probably 30-45 mins - there are seats to wait in. To be honest, I didn't find anything special about the dishes besides it being aesthetically pleasing. Maybe it takes ordering the much pricier fruit dishes but it just didn't fulfill the value to quality to price . You do see a lot of posh folks here with $2000 shoes. Not an experience for me. The food was just ok.

Enjoyed everything strawberry at the fruit parlor. The strawberry-themed items were delicious. The drink I ordered was tasty without being overly sweet, allowing the true strawberry flavor to shine. The club sandwich was light and delightful. Came back again in August, it's peach season, so definitely try what is in season.

We went before noon on a Wednesday and did not need reservations. Aside from it taking just a little longer than I would like for our order to be taken, the display of food is, as advertised. Do expect it to be a little spendy, but aside from that, you'll get some social-media-ready photos. The taste is decent, although I'm not certain it is worth the cost. The atmosphere is appropriate for the price of the fruits offered.

Drop by this fruits parlour if you’re in this part of Shinjuku. We really loved the melon and strawberry parfaits we got. The blend of ice cream and fresh fruit was really refreshing. Fruits were really sweet too. But come prepared, the items here are definitely pricey! Also, the line into the shop can stretch for quite a bit. We queued for around 20 minutes and we came around 3.30ish in the afternoon on a weekday.

Went twice to both the basement branch and the 5th floor one. Basement one has a quick counter-style eat ins with about 8-10 seatings. The menu was mainly fruit-based ice cream parfaits. The 5th floor one is a bigger space with more variety of fruit-based dessert menus (depending on season) including parfait ice creams. All desserts we ordered were tasty and refreshing though.

A very popular place with long waits. If you want the all-you-can-eat option it's 5500 yen. The strawberries weren't as sweet as I expected but the variety was good.

A fruit speciality store where you can enjoy seasonal fruits in a dessert from. 🙂 Strawberry is in season so I ordered Strawberry Parfait. The strawberries were plumped & sweet and the different layers in the parfait were well balanced. Loved the lovely presentation too. 😍 The colourful Fruit Sando anchored by strawberry, mango, kiwi & banana in whipped cream sandwiched between two slices of pillowy milk bread was pretty and delicious. It also came with a small bowl of yogurt topped with fruit pieces. 🙂 Presentation is a show stopper at Takano and everyone snaps a picture before devouring. 😃
