"Senbikiya Sohonten", a fruit specialty store that has opened for over 190 years. A special course of fruit & sweets that can only be tasted at the Nihonbashi main store is "Treat myself Myself-A Reward for Myself". We will introduce plenty of charm to the course, which is exactly the right reward for yourself, with plenty of fine fruit.

A long-established luxury fruit store with a 190-year history "Senbikiya Sohonten"

Tenpo 5 (1834), Japan's oldest fruit specialty store, "Senbikiya Sōhon"; its Nihonbashi Main Store is located at "Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower", directly connected to the underground passage of Mitsukoshi-mae Station on the Tokyo Metro.

This time the destination, the fruit parlor, is on the second floor.

The light shines through the large glass windows inside the shop, and the feeling of openness is as you can see. You can also enjoy the historic cityscape of Nihonbashi.

The ceilings are also high, and Swarovski chandeliers create a special space; the refined and fine atmosphere also enhances nature and mood.
"Nibashi Mitsui Tower" has an elevator dedicated to "Senbikiya Sohonten", and the special feeling is also outstanding. Please use it when visiting from underground passage.

A long-established reward for fruit fruit

"Treat myself Treat Myself-A Reward for Yourself-" that can be tasted only at the Nippon Bridge Main Store 8800 yen ~ is a special course where you can enjoy the popular menu at the fruit parlor of "Senbkiya Sohonten" at once.
As it is fully booked, make sure to make a reservation from the official website. It is offered only on weekdays but it is a very popular course, so early booking is recommended.

As for the aperitif, you can choose "glass sparkling wine" or "freshly squeezed fruit juice", but after all, you can choose fruit juice. You can also choose juice from orange, grapefruit and pineapple.
At the time of the interview (* September 2024), pink grapefruit was used, but with a moderate acidity, elegant sweetness, and above all, freshly squeezed freshness, it is a taste that can catch the heart from the beginning.

The appetizers are "two assorted chef-specific hors d'oeuvres."
It is a volumey one dish that also used smoked duck, vegetables and mango in marinated seafood such as shrimp and squid.

Mango varieties are chosen the most delicious of the time. "Senbikiya Sohonten" selects fruits not only from Japan but also from all over the world, so for example, Mexican products are used. You can enjoy the taste of the world in one dish.

In "vegetable cream soup", the vegetables used change depending on the season. At the time of the interview (* September 2024), it was cold corn soup.
The corn's umami taste is solid, but sometimes it's cold, so it's a refreshing soup with an aftertaste.

Next is a meal-based menu that you can choose from "Mango Curry Rice", "Pineapple Hash de Bee Rice", "Omurice", and "Doria of the Sea".
This time I chose "Doria of the sea", which is also popular in the grand menu.

I'm glad that it's a good size, 1/3 size of the grand menu! The texture of the shrimp and the balance of the rich white sauce and cheese are exquisite, and it's also a very popular taste.

"Shizuoka Prefecture Muskmelon" has a great presence even in 1/12 size. Speaking of "Senbikiya Sohonten", it is still an image of melon, but if it is one ball, you can taste the surprisingly high-grade melon from Shizuoka Prefecture in this way, it is this course that can be enjoyed in luxury.
The fruit of the garnish seems to change depending on the season, and at the time of the interview (* September 2024), it was banana and pione, and orange.

As you sip, the fresh sweetness of the perfectly ripe melon spreads through your mouth; the melting tongue and mellow aroma are also irresistible.
At "Senbikiya Sohonten", you can taste fruits that are cut by an exclusive fruit patissier who knows the ingredients and bring out 100% of the seasonal taste. It is a moment when you can enjoy the technique of turning fruit into sweets, which is unique to fruit parlors.

"Fruit sandwich" is also a popular dish on the grand menu. This is a half size of 4 slices.
The fruits used are strawberries, pineapples, kiwi and papaya, which have become visible in the beauty of the cross section.

The "fruit sandwich", which focuses on the balance of sweetness and sourness in consideration of the combination of whipped cream and fruit, has a light finish. The bread dough has a subtle salty taste, and the cream with less sweetness also makes the fruit stand out more.

And it's finally parfait coming.
You can choose from "Senbikiya Special Parfait", "Banana Chocolate Parfait", "Seasonal Parfait" and "Muskmelon Parfait (1100 yen)", but this time select "Senbikiya Special Parfait", which is the most popular fruit parlor store.
It is a luxury parfait with seven kinds of seasonal fruit, and at the time of the interview (* September 2024), it was watermelon or pione, but it seems to be persimmon in the autumn season. The sauce with strawberry pulp and the layer of mango sauce are beautiful.

In addition to vanilla ice, sorbet and rich banana ice are arranged under the whipped cream of sweet honey, and the difference in the texture of each fruit is also an accent, so you can't stop eating.
It seems that there are many people who can eat surprisingly while tightening the course with plenty of volume.
Parfait is the same size as the grand menu. "Senbikiya Special Parfait" may cost 3410 yen for a single item, so there are plenty of rewards. “Treat myself = a treat to yourself” is worthy of the finale of the concept course, and you can have a blissful parfait time.

After-meal drinks can be selected from coffee or tea or herbal tea. Black tea is served in a pot, so two are plenty to enjoy.

After enjoying the course, it is also recommended to purchase souvenirs at the main store on the first floor.

For an anniversary or a reward for yourself who is doing your best every day, at a long-established fruit parlor, why not try to taste seasonal fruit in a luxurious course?
