Beauty Connection Ginza will begin offering a new menu using seasonal melons at its fruit course specialty store, Fruit Salon, on the second floor of the facility from July 1 to August 3, 2020.


Our restaurant offers full course menus with attention to detail, featuring seasonal fruits, and our new July menu is a four-course meal that makes luxurious use of domestically grown melon, which is in season now and is also known as the "king of summer fruits." Melon, with its juicy, elegant sweetness and plentiful nutrients, has been completed as a full course of refreshing fruit sweets. Its rich, full aroma and fresh texture make it a noble taste worthy of its title as the king of fruits.

The third dish, a gorgeously colored and beautiful parfait, catches the eye and uses a sorbet made from Higo green melon, known for its soft flesh and high sugar content. The dish is enhanced by unique supporting ingredients such as jasmine jelly and sparkling wine granita, which bring out the sweet and juicy flavor of the melon. The intentionally left-over space in the glass allows the ingredients to blend as you eat, allowing you to enjoy changes in taste and texture right up to the last bite. This 90-minute full course, available by reservation only, satisfies your senses with sights, tastes and more, creating a special summer experience.


Melon full course 4,400 yen (tax included) Available from: July 1st (Wed) to August 3rd (Mon)
