"Move over, banana split: The ever-so-tempting, towering, intricately layered, and decorated parfaits of Japan have you beat. Though they may seem out of reach for vegans, the parfait-shaped void in your life can be solved with a trip to the Lumine 1 department store (directly connected to Shinjuku Station), home of Wired Bonbon. While the shop does have a lineup of vegan cakes and a few savory lunch plates, stay on target with the parfaits, which come in varieties like matcha azuki, caramel apple (a favorite), or berry chocolate banana. The desserts here are created in collaboration with vegan patissier Haruo Okada, who has more than 16 years of experience creating egg- and dairy-free sweets, with a particular genius for whipped “creams.”" - Chiara Terzuolo
