Summer is the perfect time to enjoy Japanese peaches, which are particularly juicy and sweet around this time. Peaches go well with red bean paste, cream and a variety of other flavours, which is why you will be seeing a lot of peachy desserts this summer. You just have to try them!
Today, Instagrammer meme, who is a big fan of cute and stylish cafés, will be introducing you to peach parfaits that you absolutely must try in Aichi prefecture.
BLUE STAR CAFE（ブルースターカフェ）／Nagakute
BLUE STAR CAFE has started selling a peach parfait. The peaches are so sweet and juicy that I was moved to tears. The parfait is made up of fresh cream, vanilla ice cream, peach sherbet and frozen peach. It is simple, delicious and very satisfying.

Halleloo Garden（ハレルゥ ガーデン）
I was just waiting and waiting for Halleloo Garden to release their peach parfait and I was far from disappointed. Just looking at the pretty pink peaches is enough to get your mouth watering. When you cut into the peach, it will explode with colourful popping boba. What a fun parfait.♡
The parfait is made up of a variety of fruits including melon, blueberries, grapefruit and apple. It also contains vanilla ice cream, custard, fresh cream, and dried fruit too. Be aware that the contents of this parfait will change according to the season.
This peach parfait also comes with peach-flavoured black tea with boba. Add this to your parfait and notice the change in flavour as your parfait becomes a milk bubble tea! This was my first experience of popping boba. It was such a fun experience to bite into the boba and feel them explode, flooding my tastebuds with a delicious juicy flavour. Whether Halleloo Garden can serve this parfait seems to be dependent on whether they can receive peaches from their supplier, so I recommend phoning up the café before you turn up to if you want to try this.

merry café（メリーカフェ）／Toyoake
merry café serves a beautiful peach parfait that looks just like a bouquet of flowers.
The simple peach compote allows you to enjoy the natural deliciousness of the peaches. During this season, finding peaches that are highly sweet can be a bit of a hit or miss, however there is no doubt that they will be sweet when made into a compote. It was a delicious peach parfait. ♡

Hi, everyone! I'm Heir from MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON's editorial team. Our office is based in Harajuku, Tokyo's hub for fashion and youth culture. When summertime rolls around and brings the sweltering weather with it, it's ubiquitous to see people walking the streets of Harajuku with bubble tea or iced coffee in their hands to cool down. Personally, I really love the drinks sold at convenience stores and can drink them whenever. They are cheap and tasty with many new drinks stocking the shelves all the time. There were a lot of popular drinks that began sales in June. Today, I want to recommend three of these cool beverages to you, all of which saw much attention on Japanese social media. 1. Coffee Beverage | Starbucks Iced Orange Brûlée Latte
This chilled Starbucks drink was released on June 11 and comes in a very summery flavour: Iced Orange Brûlée Latte. Lattes mixed with fruit are always my weakness. This drink is extremely tasty, mixing full-bodied coffee with velvety milk, orange and crème brûlée. Its cute packaging and refreshing flavour make it the perfect choice for the start of summer. Released: June 11, 2019Price: ¥200 (Before Tax)Available: At convenience stores, supermarkets and department stores in JapanProduct Page: https://www.starbucks.co.jp/beverage/rtd/4901777338579/ 2. Carbonated Beverage | Gabunomi Soda Float From the popular Gabunomi drink series comes the new Soda Float flavour. Its packaging alone is enough to cool you down. The drink itself is a cute blue colour which is what made me want to buy it. It's soda mixed with a creamy ice cream float which has an authentic flavour. As is always the case with Gabunomi, they have the perfect balance of sweetness in their carbonated beverages. This drink just makes you want to buy one and head to the seaside! Released: June 24, 2019Price: ¥140 (Before Tax)Available: At convenience stores, supermarkets and department stores in JapanProduct Page: https://www.pokkasapporo-fb.jp/products/soda/gabunomi/JE88.html 3. Carbonated Beverage | Coca Cola Clear Lime Clear Coca Cola became a topical drink on social media around the world when it was first released last summer. This summer, the drink is receiving a lime upgrade. By combining the colourless Coke with lime flavour, you can feel super refreshed during the hot and dry weather. Be sure to pick up a bottle if you're in Japan this summer! Released: June 10, 2019Price: ¥140 (Before Tax)Available: At convenience stores, supermarkets and department stores in JapanProduct Page: https://www.cocacola.jp -
If you are wondering what Japan is particularly good at, matcha desserts is definitely one of them. However, you don't have to go to a shop that specialises in matcha sweets to get your fill. Matcha desserts can be easily obtained from the convenience store and once you start, it is hard to stop. Today, Instagrammer Yukko is going to introduce you to three delicious matcha desserts that you can get from Seven Eleven.
Dorayaki Pancakes Filled With Matcha Cream ￥278 (before tax)Seven Eleven is always selling some kind of delicious matcha cream-filled dorayaki. This time, the name has been changed slightly. This dorayaki is just ￥3 more expensive than last time, however it looks just as good as it always has. You just will not be able to resist buying it. As you take your first bite of this high-quality snack, the scent of the matcha will reach you first, followed by the flavour of the matcha which spreads instantly through your mouth. The matcha is rich yet so light that it will instantly melt on your tongue. The pancakes sandwiching the large creamy matcha filling are both fluffy and thick. Cut it in half and you will not be able to resist. This is a wonderful snack to sink your teeth into while you walk. If you want to keep your hands clean, you could even use a spoon to scoop out the filling. Enjoy it in your own unique way as it is tasty no matter how you choose to enjoy it! Matcha and Matcha Parfait ￥278As the name implies, this matcha parfait is the perfect opportunity to taste a variety of matcha flavours in one single tub. From the bottom, the cup is filled with matcha jelly, followed by matcha mousse, milk mousse and matcha whipped cream. Within the layers of matcha whipped cream you will discover a goldmine of matcha jelly and a dorayaki pancake core. The matcha flavour of the jelly is quite weak, however its wobbly and springy texture contributes to the deliciousness of the parfait. The moderately sweet whipped cream combined with the matcha flavour is perfectly balanced. The milk mousse has a rich, milky flavour. It may be sweet, however the matcha mousse underneath it is slightly bitter, so enjoy them together for a delicious overall flavour. The fluffy matcha mousse and rich matcha is unbelievably delicious. The dorayaki centre is soft, fluffy and thick which accents the flavour. Overall, the parfait is not overpoweringly sweet and the matcha flavour is gentle on your tongue. Uji Matcha Cream Mochi: ￥110 (before tax )Uji Matcha Cream Mochi is a soft, thin and chewy dough that is rolled out thin and then wrapped around a large spoon of uji matcha cream. This is always a popular pick. Last time, they served the uji matcha chocolate mochi. I wonder how the Uji Matcha Cream Mochi will taste! This time, the mochi has a slightly more springy texture. The outside is chewy, yet the inside is gooey. This mochi cake is bursting with matcha so you can really enjoy the matcha flavour. The bitter matcha flavour is perfectly balanced with a touch of sweetness. This dessert even come with a fork so that you don't have to get your hands dirty. I know, it is hard to choose which matcha dessert to try. Convenience stores are always refreshing the varieties of goods they sell, so if you are particularly attracted to any of the desserts mentioned above, it is probably best to try them before they are replaced. Mogu Mogu Yukko introduces lots of desserts and sweets that are easily found in convenience stores and supermarkets on her Instagram so please check out her other posts: Photos and Text: Mogu Mogu Yukko -
