"LEXUS MEETS ..." in Tokyo Midtown Hibiya. It is a brand experience facility where you can easily experience the new lifestyle proposed by LEXUS.
One of them, "THE SPINDLE," is a concept cafe where you can experience the world of LEXUS through "food." You can enjoy various scenes from lunch with sandwiches and colorful deli, tea time where you can enjoy sweets with your favorite coffee, and luxurious dinner. To go is also fulfilling, such as a picnic dereset that you can take for a test drive of LEXUS.
I ordered "Okukyu Ji Egg Custard Pudding" (680 yen) from the abundant menu. I got a number tag because it would carry me to my seat, but this number tag is cute like a car! Playful productions are scattered everywhere.
The long-awaited pudding arrives in a silver bowl. Finished so that the shape will not be lost even if scooped with a spoon. With a sticky, fluffy texture, it spreads the sweetness smoothly. It is also a high point that you can feel the richness of the egg firmly.
Caramel that shines at the bottom to tighten the rich pudding and milky cream. It adds a bitter accent. The overall balance is good, and the deliciousness that makes you want to repeat it many times.
Another ordered "THE SPINDLE ALE" is a beer in collaboration with "RISE & WIN BREWING CO." And "LEXUS", a microbrewery in Kamikatsu Town, Tokushima Prefecture. An original craft beer made by pickling cypress grown in Kamikatsu after fermentation. The price is 700 yen for half pint.
If you enjoy the rich scent and then put it in your mouth, it will be filled with mild bitterness. What remains is a deep finish. Surprisingly, it goes well with pudding and gives a rich sweetness to the back of your throat. Ah happy.
The spacious interior is cozy and makes you want to stay longer. Not only car lovers, but also delicious food and drinks are enough to satisfy you.
