Colorful and visually striking, this carefully crafted parfait has earned a strong following among women.

  • A Taste of Fresh, Juicy Seasonal Fruits

    Drawing on market experience gained as a buyer, the owner continues to visit growing regions and source fruit personally selected after careful inspection, with the aim of serving fresh fruit at its most flavorful. The distinctive menu showcases these carefully chosen fruits.

Preferences regarding disliked fruits are discussed in advance, allowing the selection to reflect flavors unique to the season and making it an approachable choice for first-time visitors. Options range from individual plates of neatly cut and beautifully arranged fruit to colorful hors d'oeuvre platters adorned with jewel-like pieces of fruit. Made entirely with fruit, the selection also suits diners who are less fond of cake or sweet desserts. Custom orders are available, with advance consultation possible for specific requests. The fruit arrangements work well for parties, gatherings with friends, anniversary celebrations, surprises, and a variety of other occasions.

Opened in February 2026, this fruit parlor offers an uplifting atmosphere from the moment of arrival. Fruit-themed objects and tableware decorate the stylish interior, creating a photogenic setting throughout. The second floor, designed like a secret hideaway, features sofas and tiled tables where guests can spend a leisurely time in a homey atmosphere. The space is equally approachable for solo visits and groups.

A message from the owner

A commitment to supporting people working in agriculture lies at the heart of this approach. After four years working with fresh produce at a supermarket and another two years as an assistant store manager, the reality became clear that fruit was often passed over in shopping baskets compared with vegetables. Since then, efforts have continued to share the appeal of fruit and encourage more people to include it in everyday life.

From the Tabiiro Editorial Team

The stylish, hideaway-like interior features a selection of alcoholic drinks, while the second floor offers an imaginative space designed around the concept of a secret base. Along with dishes featuring generous amounts of fruit, the owner's fruit-cutting techniques are another highlight, clearly reflecting a wish for more people to eat fruit. The shop also offers opportunities to discover fruits that may not usually be part of everyday meals, bringing a sense of new discovery with each visit.
