Which Do You Like Better, Plenty of Chocolate or Heap of Fruits? 3 Cool Parfaits in Kyoto

In Japan, the idea of relieving the summer heat has been called ‘Noryo’ (納涼, Cooling) for a long ago and is included in daily life. For example, ‘Kimodameshi’ (肝試し, test of courage) makes your blood freeze with fear, ‘Noryosen’ (納涼船, a summer pleasure boat) where you can enjoy the cool evening while feeling the night breeze and ‘Noryosai’ (納涼祭, summer night festival) where you can enjoy summer traditions such as fireworks and food stalls are an event that can be said ‘Noryo’. It’s a smart idea that makes you feel cool, isn’t it? In this situation, there is no doubt the effect of cooling will be doubled when you eat cold food. This time, we’re going to introduce the recommended cool sweets.

The restaurant ‘SAVORY’ operated by the Kyoto supermarket ‘KYOTO YAOICHI’ where you can find the selected vegetables and fruits offers parfaits using fresh seasonal fruits. In summer, the peach parfait using one or more peaches is very popular! It’s so exciting the gorgeous look of decorating a whole peach. The parfait glass is full of cold and smooth sweets such as milk ice, lemon custard ice, tea bavarois and plum puree. It’s a perfect dessert for relieving your thirst. *The photo is an ECO strawberry parfait cultivated on a private farm.
