Located about a 5-minute walk from Harajuku Station towards Omotesando, I visited this place because I felt like eating fruits for lunch. I arrived around 1 pm on a holiday and there were about four groups waiting in line. Luckily, I was able to enter the store in about 5 minutes. The interior of the store has many female customers. I ordered the Holiday Lunch combo set, which costs 1760 yen and allows you to choose a main dish and a fruit sandwich. I chose the Shrimp and Crab White Sauce Doria for the main dish and the Seasonal Fruit Sandwich with Fresh Cream, which today was made with grapes and kiwi. The fruit sandwich was delicious. There was also an option for a sour cream sandwich. I also added some fruits for an additional charge after the meal. The musk melon was the most delicious. Today's fruit juice was banana juice, which I haven't had in a while and it was really tasty.

I used it from the evening. It seems to be relatively easy to enter at night, although it is crowded during the day and feels like a hidden spot. I ordered the Omotesando Select, which is available from 16:00, and you can choose appetizers, two main dishes, and a drink. I chose Fruit Squash, Fruit Salad, Beef Stew, and Fruit Sandwich. It was a light dinner, but I enjoyed it in various ways. I was able to have a relaxing meal, it was delicious, and the location is good, so I will use it again.

Visited around 2 pm on a day off. It was a bit late for lunch and a bit early for tea time, but the restaurant was still full of customers. I ordered the seasonal fruit assortment and mini hayashi rice. The hayashi rice was delicious in a classic way. My companion ordered the fruit curry, which was also tasty, incorporating the fruit flavor while still being a proper curry. The main fruits in the assortment were watermelon and mango. The mango was especially delicious, with a melting texture and a powerful natural sweetness. It's my favorite fruit of the season. I was very satisfied as it was a somewhat aspirational restaurant for me. Next time, I'd like to try their cakes during tea time!

It's been a while since I visited Omotesando! I was hoping to try a trendy cafe or restaurant that you can only find in fashionable Omotesando, but my friend wasn't feeling well and really wanted to eat gratin. Despite saying anything was fine, they occasionally show a strong ego. Feeling a bit annoyed in the heat, we searched for a restaurant and ended up at this place with gratin. Huh? It's Chihana but there's hardly any line! Not many people! Lucky! However, the table we were seated at was honestly not great. It was cramped and there were empty seats nearby. The lunch set was a choice between a sandwich and a main dish. The taste didn't really stand out as exceptional. Whether it was because of my friend's mood, the service, the seating, or the taste, overall I felt that I wouldn't visit again. Sorry for being critical.

The restaurant was quiet during the day, so I was able to relax and enjoy my time there. It's nice to have a place like this when the city center is crowded and tiring. I had a melon parfait and apple or peach flavored tea. The prices are high, but it was worth it for the peaceful atmosphere. I was able to eat slowly and comfortably.

No, it's delicious, but honestly, I just found out it's different from the Ginza Senbikiya for the first time. It's more expensive compared to Ginza Senbikiya, and the staff quality is low. There is no explanation of the origin of the fruit, and they can't answer immediately even if asked... The bottom of the parfait only has fruit sorbet. Well, it's delicious though. Next time, I will go to the real Senbikiya.

For dinner, I had a hearty Italian meal, so I decided to have a light lunch around Omotesando to Harajuku before 2:00 PM. The cafe was bustling during lunchtime. To keep it light, I skipped the lunch menu and opted for fruit waffles and tea instead. It cost around 2600 yen in total, which is quite pricey. After about 10 minutes, my drink arrived, followed by the waffles 5 minutes later. The waffles were topped with kumquats, mandarins, and strawberries, giving a seasonal touch. There was also vanilla and strawberry ice cream on top. The waffles were served slightly warm, which was nice. Personally, I prefer hot things hot and cold things cold, so this combination was a bit of a dilemma for me, but I enjoyed the warm waffles. The fruits were delicious, especially the kumquats with a hint of acidity. The ice cream didn't exceed my expectations, but the fruits were the star of the dish! Although there were 3 groups waiting, I thought it wouldn't take too long, so I lined up. It took around 15 minutes to be seated. Despite being alone, I was seated at a table for 4, which made me feel a bit guilty. However, I wasn't rushed, so I could take my time, but I felt the urge to leave once I finished my meal and left. Thank you for the meal!

I used to go there a lot as a child. It's been a while since I last visited Senbikiya. The fruits are delicious, so there's no way the fruit assortment could be bad. I enjoyed some delicious fruits. I used to like their shortcake when I was in elementary school, but I'm not a big fan of cakes now. However, it was still delicious enough to enjoy. #Senbikiya #Fruits #FruitParlor #WantToConnectWithPeopleWhoLikeFruits

When I go to Tokyo, I always make sure to eat at this place. While curry is popular during lunch hours, my go-to choice is always the fruit waffle! I love the fruit waffle from Sembikiya, and I have tried it at various locations, but I personally think the one at the Harajuku store is the best! The way the fruits are arranged, cut, their freshness, the perfect waffle texture... it's a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. Since the fruits change with the seasons, I always look forward to seeing what fruits are on top during the current season. The Harajuku store is spacious with seating on the first floor, but I recommend sitting on the second floor by the window facing Omotesando. The view is great and adds to the experience. Whenever I go to Tokyo, I always make sure to eat here. This is my legendary dessert!

Just tried the high-end variety of pear called Le Lectier for the first time. It came as a set with mini desserts and coffee for 2,700 yen, which is quite expensive (lol). It didn't have a crisp texture, but rather a smooth mouthfeel, which may be a matter of personal preference. Personally, I found it delicious but not something I would want to eat again (lol). Not a criticism, just my thoughts. #Harajuku #Parfait #Pear #LeLectier #KyobashiChihikuya

At Senkichiya Omotesando, they offer a monthly adult night parfait that uses alcohol (available from 4pm). I visit every month to try their creations. While Senkichiya is known for their classic parfaits, this night parfait series is a bold attempt by the patissier to cater to the current parfait trend. In October, they served a "Muscat Meets Mojito" parfait, which consisted of mascarpone, vanilla ice cream, shine muscat, spearmint, white rum, lime, white chocolate plate, and mint lime granita. I have also attached a photo of the "Adult Melon Parfait" from June. Senkichiya is really putting in the effort. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Today I had some business in Omotesando! After finishing my errands, I checked the time and it was already 3 pm. I thought about relaxing somewhere and having some sweets, but I didn't know the area well, so I quickly checked "Tabelog" (Japanese restaurant review website). The first hit was "Kyobashi Senbikiya Omotesando store". I love Senbikiya, so I decided to visit immediately. The store is located on the 2nd floor of a building and is surprisingly spacious, which was a bit surprising. But from the outside, it looked like a nice place, so I had high expectations! When I entered, I saw a showcase with cakes and desserts, giving off a vibe of a "high-end fruit parlor". The staff greeted me promptly, confirmed the number of people, and then guided me to a table in the back. I sat down and looked at the menu on the table. The menu included parfaits (one of the purposes of my visit this time) and drinks like juices, as well as light meals. Since I was there for "Omotesando sweets and relaxation", I decided to order the parfait that was listed first on the menu. There are various types of parfaits using seasonal fruits, and this time I chose the grape and fig parfait. I was torn between the two, but I had never seen a fig parfait before, and next to the photo was the word "Harajuku store exclusive" (I'm a sucker for limited edition items), so I decided on the fig parfait. I ordered the Large size of the Fig Parfait (¥2,970). When it was brought to me, the "Fig Parfait" looked even better than the photo on the menu. The amount of figs seemed to be more than shown in the photo, and the color looked appetizing. I tried it immediately, and as expected, the figs were really delicious! It wasn't overly sweet, but had a rich fig flavor. The cream and ice cream at the bottom were not too sweet either, and they matched well with the figs. The volume was also satisfying. It was a perfect parfait. I also ordered an "Iced Coffee" which was aromatic and really delicious. Overall, this visit to Kyobashi Senbikiya for "Omotesando sweets and relaxation" was a success. The place serves delicious sweets, has a nice atmosphere, and the service was great. It was definitely the right choice based on my initial purpose. I'll definitely visit again when I'm nearby.

There is a fruit parlor located in Omotesando that offers a special large size parfait made with figs, which is exclusive to the Harajuku store. There are about six different parfait options available, with three seasonal limited edition parfaits featuring the large size.

After having lunch, I decided to have some fruit as well. I entered the restaurant alone. Even though I had already eaten lunch at another place, I ended up ordering curry. The curry I ordered was "Shrimp and Avocado Curry" which not only had shrimp and avocado but also dried fruits in it. The restaurant had a high percentage of female customers. The atmosphere inside was filled with loud laughter from women. The staff's attitude was good, but their voices were sometimes too soft to hear clearly, which was a bit of a drawback.

After seeing the FF7 exhibition at Uniqlo in Harajuku, I was thinking about having another drink because I didn't feel satisfied with my meal at Inokashira-ro. However, I was drawn in by this poster and ended up coming here. Personally, I feel like this place is a bit too upscale. The mango parfait for 2750 yen is a bit much, don't you think? But since the Chinese food was not very filling, I ended up ordering it impulsively. I even got the melon as well. Well, the taste is truly top-notch, fresh, sweet, and delicious as expected from Sembikiya. Maybe it's better to save this for a special occasion, like when you get a bonus.

I had strawberry manju from the Kyobashi Senbikiya store in Omotesando Harajuku, as well as a white chocolate parfait with strawberries and two types of domestic citrus fruits, and orange jelly. The manju had a distinctive "千" character on it, and the orange jelly was made from real oranges, which was delicious.

I went shopping at Meiji Jingu-mae Station after a long time. I wanted to buy some sweets, but the shop I planned to go to was unexpectedly closed. Many shops in the area close not only at night but also during the day, which is inconvenient for food bloggers. So, I decided to go to Kyobashi Sembikiya, an elegant shop in front of Meiji Jingu-mae Station. As a fruit specialty store established over a hundred years ago, they are known for selecting the highest quality fruits. The cakes are a bit pricey, with the top choice being the Muskmelon Bavarois at 972 yen. However, the sweetness and freshness of the muskmelon make it worth the price. The Valentine Berry Mousse at 810 yen is a limited Valentine's Day treat with a refined sweetness and sourness that is typical of Kyobashi Sembikiya. The second most popular choice, the Chestnut Mont Blanc at 864 yen, showcases the wonderful sweetness of Japanese chestnuts. The third most popular choice, the Strawberry Shortcake at 702 yen, was a surprising choice as it's a classic dessert. However, the cake's focus on the sweetness of the strawberries sets it apart. Overall, all the cakes were delicious and satisfying, but buying multiple cakes can be quite expensive. Kyobashi Sembikiya is a bit pricey for everyday use.

In December 2021, I visited Harajuku and found a shop called "Kyobashi Senbikiya" which specializes in high-quality fruits. The shop has a long history of over a hundred years and is known for selecting the best fruits for its customers. I tried their Blanc et Viole parfait, which is made with Niigata's rare and fragrant pear "Le Lectier" and cassis orange cocktail. The parfait was beautifully presented with various components such as rosemary, orange and celery confiture, gorgonzola ice cream, cassis white chocolate ganache, ginger earl grey ice cream, and more. The flavors were rich and sophisticated, with a mix of sweet, sour, and creamy elements. It was a high-class parfait experience that I enjoyed while admiring the winter illuminations on Omotesando Avenue in Harajuku.

I strolled from Omotesando to Harajuku and found a calm cafe to relax in. I came across "Kyobashi Senbikiya Omotesando Harajuku Store" and decided to go in. I ordered the 140th Anniversary Parfait and the Fruit Waffle (half size). The 140th Anniversary Parfait was filled with plenty of melon and reasonably priced. The Fruit Waffle, despite being half size, was very filling. The fruits from Senbikiya were delicious as expected. I finished it in no time. Thank you for the meal.

I always buy fruits from this store, but during lunchtime, I decided to try their lunch menu! Yeah. I realized once again that the cakes for tea time at the store where I buy fruits and cookies are excellent. I recommend getting it for takeout! The fruits are delicious!
