Tokyo patisserie Criollo is holding a "Lemon Fair" from June 1 (Monday) to July 31 (Friday), 2026, at three locations: the main store in Kotakemukaihara, the Nakameguro store, and the Azabudai Hills store. The event brings together a collection of lemon-inspired sweets that highlight the citrus fruit's appeal through the delicate craftsmanship of a dedicated patisserie.
Note: Availability periods vary by item.
Featured Items
Tarte Citron — ¥780 (tax included)
A crisp tart shell is layered with a refreshing lemon cream. A rich almond cream base gently envelops the lemon's vivid acidity, resulting in a smooth, mellow flavor that avoids being overly tart.
Chou Citron — ¥570 (tax included)
A light cream puff that lets the natural flavors of its ingredients shine. Custard cream made with lemon puree and zest is paired with an accent of lemon jam, which further elevates the lemon flavor.
Available at the Nakameguro store in June only.
Rare Cheese Citron — ¥650 (tax included)
A heart-shaped no-bake cheesecake featuring a rich, milky cheese mousse brightened by a tangy lemon jelly. The lingering citrus finish leaves the palate feeling refreshed.
Available at the Nakameguro and Azabudai Hills stores in June only.
A rectangular sliceable version (¥1,980 per piece, tax included) is also available through select Criollo online shops (excluding the Amazon shop).
Rime Lemon — ¥780 (tax included)
Inside a pleasantly tart lemon mousse sit a bittersweet jelly and a rich praline cream. Dacquoise and dried crêpe provide textural contrast. Finished with lemon jam and lime zest, this elegantly fragrant piece is well-suited to summer.
Available in July only.
Chou Chou Lemon — ¥760 (tax included)
A new creation that pairs the gentle acidity of lemon with rich chocolate. Light lemon jelly and deep chocolate cream are layered together, then coated in a crisp almond chocolate shell — delivering a variety of textures in every bite.
Available in July only.
Phantom Lemon Cheesecake — ¥1,980 (tax included)
A seasonal limited-edition flavor based on Criollo's most popular item, the "Phantom Cheesecake." The signature cloud-like, melt-in-the-mouth texture is preserved, now accompanied by a refreshing lemon aroma. A subtle hint of lemon zest bitterness adds a pleasant accent to the sweet-tart profile.
Also available through select Criollo online shops (excluding the Amazon shop).
Cake Citron Earl Grey — ¥2,160 (tax included)
A pound cake created using trimmings from the "Phantom Cheesecake," upcycled into a moist and satisfying treat. This sustainable confection features a lemon-infused batter layered with the gentle fragrance of Earl Grey tea, finished with a lemon glaze for a full-on citrus experience.
Available at the main store and Nakameguro store only.
