The Strings Omotesando, in Kita-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo, is joining the "Pink Ribbon Movement," which promotes early detection and proper treatment of breast cancer. To mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, running October 1 (Thursday) to October 31 (Saturday), 2026, The Strings Omotesando is serving photogenic pink ribbon-themed sweets and drinks at its first-floor "Cafe & Dining ZelkovA" and basement-level "TIME NEST BAR LOUNGE."
Pink Ribbon Shortcake and Drinks at Cafe & Dining ZelkovA
Cafe & Dining ZelkovA is offering a takeout-only "Pink Ribbon Shortcake" and "Pink Ribbon Drinks." The shortcake is built on the cafe's popular strawberry shortcake and finished with a large pink ribbon for a charming, photogenic look. The sponge is soaked in strawberry syrup for a moist texture with just the right sweetness, while the cream is whipped into a light texture the chef designed to be easy to eat. It also makes a fitting takeout choice for birthdays and other celebrations.
Two Pink Ribbon Drinks are available, one alcoholic and one non-alcoholic, so guests can choose based on mood or preference. The alcoholic option, Pink Ribbon Drink "ロライロ ロゼサングリア," is built on a rosé sangria base with the elegant aromas of passion fruit and rose. The non-alcoholic option, "Pink Rose Lemonade," combines the fragrance of rose with refreshing lemon.
Pink Ribbon Drink at TIME NEST BAR LOUNGE
At TIME NEST BAR LOUNGE, guests can enjoy a limited-time mocktail with a grown-up flavor distinctive to a bar lounge, the "California Rose Lemonade." A non-alcoholic syrup crafted to evoke the flavor of whiskey is paired with a fragrant rose lemonade for a refined drink, its glass rimmed with a pink ribbon motif befitting the lounge's calm atmosphere.
Throughout the special menu period, The Strings Omotesando will also hand out a free "Breast Awareness" educational booklet on breast cancer inside the venue.

About the Pink Ribbon Movement
The Pink Ribbon Festival has brought together local governments, companies, and organizations that support its mission since 2003, marking its 24th year in 2026. Under the slogan "MY PINK ACTION – Get to Know Yourself and Breast Cancer," the campaign shares accurate information about breast cancer, promotes "breast awareness" (a lifestyle of paying attention to one's own breast health), and works to raise breast cancer screening rates, with the aim of reducing the number of lives lost to the disease.
