Shiseido Parlour will be offering a limited-time menu inspired by "Azuma Odori" from Tuesday, May 12, to Saturday, May 31, 2026.
"Azuma Odori," which began in 1925 (Taisho 14), conveys the unique "iki" (chic and sophisticated) of Shinbashi, woven by geisha and traditional restaurants, to the present day. To celebrate its 101st performance in May 2026, the Ginza Main Store Salon de Cafe will feature the "Azuma Odori Parfait," popular every year for its Japanese modern ambiance, and the "Shimbashi Color Ice Cream Soda," inspired by the kimono colors favored by Shinbashi geisha. Furthermore, the Ginza Main Store Shop will offer the "Azuma Odori Parfait Cake" for a limited time. Please enjoy these special annual menus, recalling the episode where Shinbashi geisha, after finishing their shamisen lessons, would take a break with soda water before heading to the teahouses, a tradition from Shiseido Parlour's founding.
