Japan has lots of delicious fruit throughout the four seasons of the year. “Fruit parlors” are places where you can enjoy this fruit in beautifully arranged desserts that will take your breath away. Actually, “fruit parlor” is a Japanglish term combining the two words, with “parlor” meaning a room for conversation and relaxation. Such fruit parlors, kind of coffee shops serving desserts combining fruit with ice cream, fresh cream, and other delights, appeared in Tokyo more than a century ago.
