​"SWEETS & WINE LITRE" is located about 2 minutes on foot from Issha Subway Station. Afternoon tea and seasonal parfaits are popular cafes.

The restaurant also offers an extensive lunch and dinner menu, with a plate lunch featuring meat or fish for lunch, and pizza, ahijo, pasta, wine, and other dishes for dinner.

In this issue, we will introduce you to many of LITRE's popular afternoon tea and parfait menu items.

* Information at the time of coverage in November 2022.

A stylish space with enchanting decorations

If you walk a little from Issha station, you will see the signboard of "LITRE".

Outside, there are delicious-looking menu pop-ups. At the time of the interview, many passersby were looking at the menu pop-ups.

The entrance is on the right side of the building with a large "LITRE" sign in front of it. It has a cute appearance with a wooden door as an accent. You can't help but want to go in.

Upon entering the restaurant, we found a crisp, stylish space lit by warm lights.

Look up and you will see dried flowers! They accent the interior of the store.

There are table seats, sofa seats, and private rooms (seats up to 6 people).

The design of the chairs changes depending on the shape of the table, giving you a glimpse of the attention to detail. The plaid pattern on the sofa is also fashionable.

There are stylish interior goods and miscellaneous goods placed here and there in the store, creating the atmosphere of the store.

The most eye-catching part of the restaurant is the counter. The counter is illuminated by lights, and a large glass vase is placed on the counter where seasonal plants are arranged. The hanging glasses also shine brightly, creating a space that begs to be admired forever.

Introducing the recommended menu!

At LITRE, they have a full lunch menu, tea time menu, and dinner menu.

Among them, we recommend afternoon tea and parfait using seasonal fruits.

An elegant afternoon tea

Christmas afternoon tea ¥4000 per person (tax included). All-you-can-drink included.

The day I visited for the interview was just during the Christmas afternoon tea period (until late December 2022). The three-tiered afternoon tea is beautiful and photogenic.

<Lower row>
・Fried chicken mini cheeseburger
・Crab quiche
・Grisini prosciutto ham roll
・Cherry Mozzarella Caprese
・ Stollen-style scones
·cauliflower soup

At the bottom of the Christmas afternoon tea, Santa Claus and reindeer warmly watch over your meal. The red and green accents in Christmas colors are lovely.

<middle row>
・Yogurt and honey verrine
・Glass short of strawberry confiture
・Macaron chocolate blanc
・ Mini tree chocolate blanc
・Amber sugar
・Champagne truffle
・Cassata

The middle row is full of sweets. The sweets are lined up as if it were snowing, and the Christmas mood is heightened. The combination of transparency and cuteness will make you want to look at it forever.

Santa Claus and a tree are inside the snow globe...! Let's have sweets while being healed by cute Santa Claus.

<Upper row>
・Pavlova (with sparkling syrup)

And the top row is a cake called "Pavlova".
It's crispy when you eat it, but it's moist like a marshmallow and has a texture that just melts in your mouth. The sourness of strawberries is also effective, and it goes on and on. I love the contrast of red and white.

The day I visited for the interview was during the Christmas afternoon tea period, but at LITRE you can enjoy various afternoon teas depending on the season.

Around June: June bride afternoon tea

"June bride afternoon tea" that was made with the image of June bride. They mainly come in cool colors such as light blue, pale purple, green and white, and refreshing flavors that are easy to eat in early summer.

Around September: Traveling afternoon tea

A greedy “Traveling Afternoon Tea” that brings together sweets from around the world under the theme of travel. The main dish is a film cake with a Taiwanese-inspired marble-patterned cream flowing down like an avalanche as soon as the film is removed. The contents are fluffy Taiwan castella.

There are also garlic shrimp from Hawaii, black tea scones from England, Ispahan from France, chocolate teddy bears from Germany, tiramisu from Italy, and cream soda from Japan.

Around October: Masquerade Afternoon Tea

Chic "Masquerade Afternoon Tea" with rose pink and purple as the main theme, with a masquerade theme.

The main is berry and black cocoa gimmick cake. When you insert a knife into the cake finished with bright pink cream, a black sponge and colorful chocolate candies appear from inside.

In addition, there are Halloween-like ingredients such as purple sweet potato Mont Blanc and pumpkin scones, frittata using squid ink, bamboo charcoal bread maritozzo and black sesame panna cotta, etc. It is a black afternoon tea that excites the Halloween feeling.

Please note that if you want to enjoy afternoon tea at LITRE, you must make a reservation for 2 or more people by 12:00 noon the day before.

Reward yourself for working hard every day! seasonal fruit parfait

Whole pear parfait ¥1,900 (tax included)

Next, we will introduce a parfait that uses seasonal fruits.
At the time of the interview, it was during the period of "Marugoto Pear Parfait" (until December 18, 2022). So I ate it!

The contents of "Whole pear parfait" are as follows.

・Whole pear compote (half)
・Caramel ice cream
・Pear sorbet
・Tea and cranberry cake
・Walnut sugar coating
・Pearl cracker white
·Fresh cream
・Pear compote slice
・Orange jelly
・Yogurt panna cotta
・Orange caramel sauce

The pear compote on top of the parfait had a sweet and sour taste, and the moment I put it in my mouth, I was filled with happiness.

Under the pear compote, orange jelly, yogurt panna cotta, cake, pear, and bitter caramel ice cream were layered in a mille-feel shape, maintaining an exquisite balance of sweetness, bitterness, and sourness.

At the time of the interview, it was also the period during which the “Silk Thread Mont Blanc Parfait” was offered.

They squeeze 1mm thin Japanese chestnut paste right in front of customers, allowing them to enjoy delicate, freshly squeezed Mont Blanc. This autumn-only parfait allows you to enjoy the flavor of butter-scented, shop-baked croffles and softly unwrapped Japanese chestnuts.

In addition, at LITRE, you can enjoy various seasonal fruit parfaits for each season.

Around January: Winter Strawberry Parfait

LITRE's standard strawberry parfait in a rich winter version.

The parfait is filled with pistachio ice cream, bitter gateau chocolat, and sparkling jelly, while keeping the classic spilled strawberries. It is served with an optional chocolate sauce.

Around June: Mango Parfait

A summer parfait made with plenty of fresh mangoes.

Inside, refreshing taste ingredients such as "yogurt ice cream," "mango & passion fruit ice cream," "mozzarella cheese," "ginger julep," "mango sauce," and "mango mousse" are combined to create a refreshing finish for the hot season.

Around September: Shine Muscat parfait

A cool looking parfait with transparent jellies and pale milk tea color with muscat green. Inside, the saltiness and richness of the cheese is followed by a succession of refreshing aromas.
The top is topped with a luxurious branch of selected large, brightly colored, bouncy, ultra-premium Shine Muscat.

As for the seasonal parfait, although you can order without a reservation, it is recommended that you make a reservation if possible. If there is a rush of orders on the same day, those with reservations will be given priority.

A small reward for yourself

The store name "LITRE" seems to be derived from "Little Treat".

As the name suggests, parfait and afternoon tea that are beautiful to look at and stimulate the appetite are enjoyed by people who visit LITRE as a small reward.

The beautiful parfaits and afternoon teas that make you smile just by looking at them will blow away your daily fatigue and fill you with happiness.

How about enjoying LITRE's sweets as a "little reward" for yourself who works hard every day?
