Hotel New Akao (1993-250, Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture) will start selling two types of summer-only parfaits at its on-site café, Restaurant & Sweets Flower Fairy, on June 1.
The menu includes “Izu New Summer Orange Parfait – Fragrance of Early Summer” (2,200 yen, available until July 14) and “Parfait of Two Kinds of Rich and Fragrant Mangoes – Essence of Izu Lemonade” (2,400 yen, available until August 31).
New summer oranges are a specialty of Izu and are in season in early summer. The parfait glass is filled with layers of jelly filled with juice and pulp, compote simmered in Izu wine, fluffy chiffon cake made with Shizuoka black tea, mousse, vanilla ice cream, and more.
The parfait is lavishly made with apple mango and Thai mango, which vary in sweetness and flavor, and is infused with lemonade made with Izu lemon and a special mango jelly accented with fresh ginger. Coconut blancmange and baked sweets are also added to create a tropical dish.
Cafe “Flower Fairy” faces Sagaminada Sea and offers a panoramic view of the sea and sky from its classical and relaxed atmosphere. Parfaits are served during tea time from 10:00 to 17:00 (last order at 16:00). During lunch time from 11:00 to 15:00, plates using seasonal Izu ingredients and seafood curry are also available.
From JR Atami Station to the hotel is a 10-minute free shuttle bus ride (get off at the Horizon Wing Entrance side).
