In Tokyo’s Nishi-Ogikubo, there’s a traditional house cafe called “Nishiogi Sanji (Nishi-Ogikubo 3 o’clock)”. Their Japanese-style parfaits and gelato are very popular.
The cafe offers Japanese-style gelato and parfaits, and also features Sogi tea from Nagasaki, which is rare in the Kanto region. They have an extensive matcha-based menu, including matcha lattes and matcha gelato. As a general rule, all items are available for takeout.
The parfaits come in a variety of standard and seasonal flavors, each with a dazzling jewel-like appearance. The combinations that unfold in your mouth are carefully calculated for flavor, texture, and sweetness, allowing you to enjoy a marriage of various ingredients.
The cafe is spread over two floors and tends to attract many female customers and couples during business hours. It’s particularly busy during the day on weekends and holidays. The cafe recommends making a reservation by phone.
