L'OCCITANE, the brand born in light-filled Haute-Provence in southern France, now brings a taste of the region's elegant lifestyle to its café spaces. L'OCCITANE Café has unveiled a collection of seasonal desserts featuring luscious strawberries, available for a limited time starting today. Visitors to Shibuya or Karuizawa are invited to stop by and experience these special treats.
Strawberry & Lavender Parfait: A Feast for the Eyes and Palate
The standout among the limited-edition strawberry offerings is the visually stunning parfait. This dessert layers strawberry ice cream, lavender-scented berry sauce and jelly, rare cheesecake, almond crumble, and whipped cream. Each spoonful delivers a harmonious blend of delicate fragrance and gentle sweetness.
Additionally, the popular "Croissant Waffle" menu now includes a seasonal strawberry variation.
The "Croissant Waffle Strawberry & Chocolat Chaud" features a buttery croissant waffle drizzled with honey and topped generously with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, and sliced strawberries.
To finish, rich hot chocolate (chocolat chaud) is poured over the top. The aromatic, freshly baked waffle paired with the indulgent chocolate creates a truly comforting experience.
In addition, a subtly sophisticated dessert with a hint of southern French flavor has arrived for the season.
The "Strawberry and Orange Fraisier with Pastis Aroma" is a limited-edition cake that sandwiches strawberries and oranges with custard and rich mousseline (a cream made from custard and butter) between layers of sponge cake.
A touch of pastis, an anise-flavored liqueur beloved in southern France, serves as a hidden accent, adding an elegant, grown-up finish to the dessert.
In addition to these offerings, a wide range of menu items are available to suit various occasions, from lunch and dinner to a relaxing break during shopping. Enjoy the flavors of the season in the warm, inviting café atmosphere.
*At the Karuizawa location, the "Strawberry & Lavender Parfait" features strawberry ice cream, lavender-scented berry sauce and jelly, granola, and whipped cream, priced at ¥1,780.
