Seasonal fruit parfaits, juices, and light fare with muskmelon.
"Fruit in Japan is special, and sometimes very expensive. To protect the flawless appearance of some fruit, Japanese farmers may individually wrap, say, grapes to keep them in pristine condition. Or to really concentrate the flavors of a melon, sometimes farmers will only allow a single melon to grow on a vine, tending to it by hand for over 100 days. At Shinjuku Takano Fruits Parlor, you can taste the literal fruits of their labor through an impressive selection of seasonal parfaits, fresh juices, just-cut fruit plates, and other desserts, like strawberry waffles or sandos filled with whipped cream. Dine in for the full fruit experience—there’s also a reservation-only dessert buffet—or visit their standalone fruit shop to ogle at the $400 melons or $200 mangos." - kiera wright ruiz

"Japan's fascination with flawless fruit is one of those aspects of the country's culture that surprises many visitors. A great way to indulge in it is with a fruit parfait or a glass of freshly squeezed juice at Takano Fruit Parlor. Just minutes from Shinjuku Station, Takano features a menu that changes seasonally to showcase aromatic and juicy fruits at their peak of ripeness. Parfaits are made with precisely cut fruit that's served with waffles, soft cream, or custard pudding. This is a chance to try the famous muskmelon, which can go for hundreds of dollars, in a fruit parfait that is available year-round."
