Ichigo Art of Strawberry
Aman Kyoto (located in Juminecho, Okitayama, Kita-ku, Kyoto) is a private resort nestled in a secluded forest garden in the northern part of Kyoto. For those who look forward to this red jewel every year, The Living Pavilion by Aman has prepared two plans for you to savor strawberries. "Ichigo Art of Strawberry," an eight-layered parfait featuring large, artistic candy-crafted strawberries, will be available until mid-April 2021, while "Strawberry and Cherry Blossom Afternoon Tea," modeled after Japanese sweets, will be available from March 1 to April 30, 2021.

■Strawberry Art of Strawberry
These large, eye-catching strawberries are delicate candy sculptures, each one handcrafted in the pastry workshop led by Executive Pastry Chef Matsuo Hiroyuki. When you open the lid of the strawberry-shaped candy container, fresh strawberries from Kamigamo, Kyoto, who have been playing hide-and-seek, suddenly pop out, revealing a soft, melt-in-your-mouth condensed milk espuma, sweet and sour strawberry compote, and light and fluffy genoise. Accented with the elegantly sweet taste of wasanbon cream and yuzu jelly and jam, and combined with the crunchy texture of white chocolate corn flakes, this luxurious parfait is layered with eight different flavors. A seasonal offering that awaits you with anticipation of spring, "Strawberry Art of Strawberry" is sure to satisfy your soul. Please also enjoy chocolates that look just like real strawberries.
