Cafe & Dining ZelkovA, located on the first floor of The Strings Omotesando in Kitaaoyama, Tokyo, will be serving a new Honey Lemon Pancake from May 26 (Tuesday) to July 6 (Monday), 2026. The dish evokes an early summer flower garden visited by adorable bees, designed to complement the lush greenery of Omotesando's iconic zelkova tree-lined avenue.
Cassata and a Floral Honey Blend That Celebrates Early Summer
The pancake is topped with generous portions of cassata — the classic Italian ice cake packed with nuts and dried fruits — delivering a chilled, refreshing texture that suits the early summer season. The flavor is elevated by a blend of elderflower syrup and lemon syrup combined with honey, which highlights the fresh, sweet-tart character of the house-made domestic lemon compote. Each bite offers a floral sweetness followed by a bright, lingering lemon finish.
Light and Refreshing Yogurt Pancake Batter
In keeping with the warming season, yogurt is generously worked into the pancake batter, resulting in a moist yet light and clean-finishing texture. Paired with the house-made domestic lemon compote and fresh blueberry sauce, the refreshing taste carries through to the very last bite.
Playful Bee-Themed Decoration
The plating features delicate honeycomb-patterned chocolate and charming bee motifs, along with edible flowers in full bloom — evoking an early summer flower garden in every detail. Guests can enjoy this photogenic teatime experience on the terrace, with views of the beautiful greenery lining Omotesando.
