Parfait
The parfait is a dessert that originated in France and has become highly popular in Japan. While the original French parfait was more of a custard, the iconic dessert enjoyed in Japan today is actually based on the American parfait, which is believed to have come into being in the late 1800s. Made with fresh ingredients like fruits glazed in syrup and a variety of traditional Japanese sweets layered with ice cream and freshly whipped cream, the Japanese parfait has evolved into its very own modern Japanese dessert.
