"Ueno PARCO_ya". It is a commercial facility that opened its grand opening on November 4th as "a little above, adult, parco".
"Kurogi otona Kurogi" entered the first floor. A Japanese cafe and bar produced by the owner chef of the popular Japanese restaurant "Kurogi".
A black entrance that suddenly appears inside the store on the floor. At first glance, it's hard to tell what kind of store it is, but its mysteriousness is also attractive.
The interior of the store is almost all black. There is a private room separated by blinds and a modern Japanese space where you can relax.
The menu you are interested in is sweets, snacks such as pickles and rice crackers, and drinks. It also features a wide selection of shochu, whiskey, cocktails, sake, wine and alcohol.
This time, we chose "Kuromitsu Kinako Parfait" and "Kurogi Sandwich" from the sweets menu.
Kuromitsu Kinako Parfait
Kuromitsu Kinako Parfait is a Japanese parfait that combines two types of ice cream, kinako and vanilla, astringent skin chestnut, kinako castella, shiratama, warabi mochi, salted cherry blossoms, kinako warabimochi, anko, and agar. Sprinkle black honey if you like. The price is 1,700 yen (tax included).You can enjoy the lively texture and taste of richly melted ice cream, plump warabi mochi, warm chestnuts and smooth agar. The salted cherry blossoms that tighten the sweetness of the ice cream are a nice accent!
Kurogi Sandwich
Kurogi Sandwich is an assortment of two types of hot sandwiches, bean paste and matcha cream cheese. The price is 1,100 yen (tax included).An butter has a taste that brings out the elegant sweetness of bean paste with the saltiness of butter cream. Rich with plenty of butter cream. Bread is crispy like a pie. The light and fragrant texture is impressive!
Matcha cream cheese is an exquisite harmony of bittersweet matcha bean paste and rich cream cheese. It is rich in flavor and has a refreshing aftertaste, making you want to eat as many as you like. I personally recommend it.
The garnished broad bean pepper senbei is also delicious. The crunchy texture and the spicy and salty pepper make it perfect for retouching.
"Kurogi" is a place where sweets lovers and liquor lovers can enjoy together. I think the calm and mature atmosphere is perfect for a break after a date at a museum.
