千疋屋フルーツパーラー 日本橋総本店 (Sembikiya Fruit Parlour)

First visit. An old and prestigious high-class fruit shop, which I never thought of going, but my friend wanted to try so we thought we would just “look at the menu first outside the shop”, but before we knew it, we were guided and seated and handed the menu inside the high-ceiling hotel-style parlour….^^;; But surprisingly, the price was not that ridiculous. My peach parfait, was only 1575yen, and it had shockingly yummy cream, fresh peach, peach sorbet, vanilla ice-cream and more peach at the bottom. My friend had the regular parfait with different kinds of fruits and mango ice-cream…I have never seen her squeal like that. ^^;;

After a rather bad dinner with a friend, utterly not full and not satisfied, we went upstairs in the same building to this fruit parlour for desserts. I had Special parfait with banana ice-cream and mango ice-cream and strawberry sauce at the bottom, very good~. Ended up too stuffed~

Duck and spring onion stick, this is good! Some fried little fish…not sure the English name, a bit easy to get tired of the taste.

A udon set where you get to try 3 types of udon: hot soup one, cold udon with radish and spring onion and sweet soy sauce, and cold udon with simple soy sauce and fresh lime. The set is only 1200yen, very cheap for the amount of food you get. The udon has strong and chewy texture - my favourite kind!

Udon with grated yam, very good!

UPDATES! (Mar 2008)
This place used to be in Ginza but have now moved to a different location in Hibiya. Price is still very reasonable, even during dinner time, and the seating is much more comfortable than before(used to be very crowded). Food I had in the new location:

Tarako and butter udon. Cabbage and butter udon in soup. Was feeling adventurous and ordered some weird options….hmm I think I will stick to the normal kind next time.
