UN GRAIN, a patisserie specializing in mignardises (pinch-sized sweets), will be offering the parfait "Parfum Parfait ~Rose~" for takeout for a limited time from Sunday, June 28th to Tuesday, July 28th. The vibrant colors of edible flowers and the scent of roses are combined with the refreshing taste of grapefruit, mint, and basil for an early summer taste. Be sure to enjoy this special parfait, with its gorgeous petals and fragrant aroma.
UN GRAIN's first parfait is a rose parfait that focuses on fragrance
Until now, UN GRAIN has offered single-plate desserts and course meals in the eat-in space within the store, but with the desire to allow more people to enjoy our special desserts, a take-out only parfait has been created.
The first parfait is a rose-scented parfait with a beautiful pink gradation. Chef patissier Konbu has created this dish focusing on "fragrance", with the taste of early summer, featuring the gorgeous scent of rose, the bitterness of grapefruit, and the refreshing feeling of basil and mint. The rare edible rose that dances on top adds even more fragrance and elegance.
"Parfum Parfait ~Rose~"
Sales period: Sunday June 28th – Tuesday July 28th, 2020

*Take-out only
The delicacy and precision of mignardises in a parfait
Rose, grapefruit, mint, basil, raspberry…a feast of layered aromas and textures, this intricate balance was born from the delicate techniques unique to UN GRAIN, a mignardise specialist store. The elegant scent of rose gently spreads as you put it in your mouth, accompanied by the refreshing taste of grapefruit and herbs. As you continue to eat, various elements combine to ensure you enjoy it until the last bite.
Rare and highly fragrant edible roses from Polepole Farm in Abiko, Chiba
●Successfully cultivated incredibly fragrant and vibrant edible roses
The edible rose petals used in "Parfum Parfait ~Rose~" are rare edible roses grown at Polepole Farm in Abiko City, Chiba Prefecture, without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers or herbicides. Polepole Farm's roses are grown without the use of chemical fertilizers, reducing the bitterness and astringency that are typical of roses and boasting an astonishingly powerful fragrance. In the same greenhouse, other plants such as bell peppers, komatsuna, chamomile, and legumes (which help fix nitrogen, which serves as fertilizer, in the soil) are planted, and weeds are also allowed to grow, creating a biodiverse natural environment.
Polepole Farm's edible roses are available at EDIBLE GARDEN, a store specializing in commercial edible flowers.

■UN GRAIN ‖ Un Grain
"UN GRAIN" means "a single seed" in French. Using ingredients lovingly grown from a single seed, each sweet is carefully crafted with the maker's thoughts in mind, and it is this sweet that will eventually be reborn as the seed of a new emotion within our customers. The name "UN GRAIN" was chosen with the hope of slowly and carefully nurturing the "single seed" that is "UN GRAIN" while proposing a fun and happy moment to each and every customer. This patisserie has an attached kitchen, and the eat-in space also hosts seasonal events.
■What are mignardises?
In French, mignardises refer to pinch-sized sweets that mean "elegance and elegance." Generally, in French cuisine, they refer to small desserts served with an after-meal drink as the finale to a course meal. However, at UN GRAIN, the term is used to refer to small, chic sweets that express hospitality not only after meals, but also during moments spent with family, friends, and other important people.
