From March 3 to 31, 2026, Shiseido Parlour will offer a series of special collaboration menus across its Ginza flagship building, timed to coincide with the exhibition "Singing Nakajo, Dancing Nakajo — Letters, Pictures, and Shiseido" at Shiseido Gallery (running March 3 to June 28, 2026).
The menus pay tribute to graphic designer Masayoshi Nakajo (1933–2021), who created the Shiseido Parlour logo and a wide range of playful packaging designs for the brand. Each item draws inspiration from his works and personality. Customers who order or purchase any collaboration menu item will receive an original exhibition sticker as a gift (while supplies last).
Period: March 3 (Tuesday) to March 31 (Tuesday), 2026
Location: Tokyo Ginza Shiseido Building, 8-8-3 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo
1F — Shiseido Parlour Ginza Main Store Shop
Camellia Sandwich No.01
¥1,080 — Set of 3 pieces, limited to 5 sets per day
A sandwich confection shaped after the camellia flower found in Nakajo's designs. Strawberry-flavored buttercream and pâte de fruit are sandwiched between charcoal sablés evoking the lacquer black of his plate work, finished with a chocolate coating for accent.
3F — Shiseido Parlour Ginza Main Store Salon de Café
Cherry and Chocolate Parfait Cherrys So Bop!
¥2,800 — Limited quantity
A dessert drawing inspiration from one of Nakajo's plate designs. Sweet-tart cherry cream and bittersweet chocolate sorbet are paired together, topped with a soft puff of cotton candy for a pop and humorous presentation that invites both the eyes and palate.
Not available on March 8 (Sunday) and March 9 (Monday).
4–5F — Shiseido Parlour Ginza Main Store Restaurant
Pop'n Plum
¥990
A refreshing drink made from Nanko plum syrup and honey syrup combined with amazake and soda. The color palette references Nakajo's art direction for the Hanatsubaki magazine cover (January 1983 issue), with a pop heart-shaped jelly added to the glass for a lighthearted finish.
An additional 10% service charge applies at the restaurant.
11F — BAR S (Bar Es)
U-Ra-Ra Oh là là
¥2,500
A cherry-blossom-based cocktail with soft, nostalgic foam — an homage to Nakajo, who was known for his love of sake and Ginza. The name blends the Japanese haru urara (serene spring) with the French Oh là là, capturing the mellow afterglow of a spring evening in a glass.
A cover charge of ¥1,000 per person applies at BAR S.
An original exhibition sticker is gifted with each collaboration menu order or purchase. Available while supplies last.
