Chocolat Panin Parfait｜A dish filled with the charm of chocolate

Chocolat Panin Parfait is truly an indulgent dish for chocolate lovers. The parfait is multi-layered in composition and packed with a variety of chocolate ingredients. Different textures and flavors can be enjoyed from top to bottom in this luxurious parfait, with caramelized bananas andbanana and rum gelato enhancing the sweetness, and crunchy chocolate accented with prickly dried fruits and hazelnuts.

Hokkaido milk and chocolate soft serve ice cream, Earl Grey ganache, and a moist homemade gateau chocolat are also added to this dish for a taste sensation. This parfait is served year-round, so you can enjoy its charm any time of the year.

To complement the sweetness of the dessert, we ordered hot coffee. It has a firm bitterness that goes perfectly with the sweet dessert.

Alternating between the hot coffee and the cold parfait created a complex harmony of flavors in my mouth.

Cheesecake and Gelato Set｜The homemade gelato is superb!

My friend ordered the cheesecake and gelato set. What especially caught my eye was the cheesecake plate served in a lovely bowl. The attention to detail was evident, and the appearance was pleasing to the eye as well.

Of course, the homemade gelato made with seasonal fruits and Hokkaido Kushiro Nemuro special milk was also excellent, and I would like to try other flavors next time.
