The Westin Tokyo is celebrating its 25th anniversary in October this year and in anticipation of this momentous occasion the hotel is presenting an indulgently themed parfait event, Evening Surprise — Twilight Parfait, until Aug. 31.
Available in the evenings from 5 to 9:30 p.m., the twilight series of parfaits sees patisserie chef extraordinaire Kazuo Suzuki weave his magic creating three decadent desserts. Designed to tantalize the taste buds without breaking the bank, the parfaits are priced at ¥2,200 apiece and are available at The Lounge in the lobby of the hotel and at The Bar.
Rum and chocolate make for decidedly grown-up partners. Fragrant and redolent of this pairing, the rum chocolate parfait sees sophisticated ingredients such as raw chocolate, cacao nibs, almond sorbet and a rum granita offset banana and a passion fruit sorbet to balance the bitter and the sweet.
