2018.05.13 published
【Tokyo・Shinjuku】Do you know Janice Wong?
In spring 2016, a shopping mall directly connected to Shinjuku Station, called 'NEWoMan', opened in Tokyo. ♡
It is a popular spot filled with stylish fashion brands, trendy restaurants, and dessert shops...
Among them, do you know the shop 'Janice Wong', which is attracting particular attention from young women?
Janice Wong is a restaurant produced by Janice Wong, who was named Asia's Best Pastry Chef in the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants awards.
It's not just stylish; there are some significant differences compared to a regular restaurant.
All dishes served are desserts ♡
The dishes that entertain customers at Janice Wong are all “desserts”! ♡
Janice Wong is a top-level female pastry chef who trained under masters like Pierre Hermé.
Janice Wong offers a unique dessert-only full-course dining experience, which is rare even in Japan.
What is served is not just a dish piled with pre-made cakes, but freshly made desserts presented like restaurant dishes. In France, this type of dessert is called “assiette de dessert,” which translates to “dessert on a plate.”
Let's take a look at an example of the dessert from Janice Wong's offerings! ♡
Uniquely creative ♡ A variety of desserts from Janice Wong’s menu*
A cute dessert shaped like a round pink sphere with scattered petals. This is a dish called 'Cassis Plum'.
Inspired by Japan’s cherry blossoms, Janice Wong created this plate.
It is accompanied by yogurt-flavored espuma (foam), along with shiso, plum, yuzu, and shiitake mushrooms.
Those who have tasted it say, “This is food on a different dimension from regular sweets.”
Although I can't imagine what it tastes like at all, it looks extremely delicious…!
This is a dish that at first glance does not seem like a dessert.
'Satoimo Shio Caramel', combining taro and caramel. It features crispy chips on top, allowing for a delightful contrast in texture.
The use of a tree stump as a plate is also excitingly unique.
Janice Wong's theme, edible art, encompasses not just the presentation but also the dishware itself as part of the art. ♡
This dish looks like a flower garden. It’s called 'Berry Plants', featuring fluffy mousse with leaves coming out of it.
You can sense Janice Wong's playful spirit in both the presentation and the name of the dish.
The violet mousse served with it is frozen right in front of you with dry ice. It's an exciting experience with a novel taste and texture!♡
Enjoy pairing drinks with your dessert too! ♡
What Janice Wong is particular about is not just desserts.
You can enjoy original drinks created for each dish of the course together with the desserts.
There are pairing courses with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, so even those who are pregnant or don’t enjoy alcohol can participate! ♡
Enjoying drinks paired with desserts adds a special feeling that makes the experience even more thrilling!*
There are two types of 'Janice Wong' courses*
The dessert courses at Janice Wong are offered in two variations: 5 dishes and 7 dishes. The content changes with the seasons.
The pairing course comes with the same number of drinks as dishes, ensuring a fulfilling experience! ♡
It’s a perfect opportunity to visit on special occasions like anniversaries or friends’ birthdays.
