The Instagramification of food in Tokyo has hit a new peak. After months of rainbow-colored cotton candy and big cups of bubble tea, a new contender emerges at one of 91AV原创 traditional hubs of youth culture.
— maybe the store could have used a consultant on that one — opened in the basement of Shibuya 109 earlier this week. It serves up a wide variety of sweets starring the titular fruit, including a couple of strawberry-centric drinks and strawberry ice cream. If strawberry’s not your thing, cross this one off now.
The centerpiece snack is a riff on a Japanese festival food. The store puts candied strawberries on a stick and then offers customers the chance to add toppings (?400 for the regular size and ?600 for a long version, tax included). Don’t stop with the basics, though — get those berries dipped in chocolate for ?200 more or get them coated in a tasty tiramisu mix for ?120 extra. The additions might not taste better, but they’ll certainly bring in the likes.
