You can also enjoy rare dried fruits.
Among the various shops on the second basement floor of Shibuya Hikarie, FAR EAST BAZAAR Shibuya Hikarie is a shop that stands out with its jars of dried fruits and nuts. You’re sure to find something you like, not only for its naturally sweet dried fruits and nuts, but also for its gelato and smoothies.
Chic wallpaper and jars of dried fruit line the shop’s landmarks.
Among the wide variety of dried fruits available, Egyptian dates and Jari pineapples are highly popular and highly recommended.
Egyptian dates were the first dried fruit to be imported.
Jari pineapples, in particular, are in limited supply, making them a lucky find. Inca berries, popular with women for their tart flavor, are also popular in winter chocolates. Pairing them with chocolate creates a harmonious blend of sour, sweet, and bitter. Green raisins, often seen as a curry topping, are also a popular choice for women, thanks to their high iron content. Apparently, the refreshing aftertaste has many customers returning. A great way to eat them, even for first-timers, is to soak the green raisins in yogurt overnight. They recommend soaking them in yogurt overnight, as they are easier to eat when they are still moist and jiggly. The shop staff also said that adding Andalusian peaches is their favorite way to eat them.
Green raisins are delicious just as they are
You can also enjoy gelato in the eat-in space.
Among the dine-in options, the gelato, available in two flavors, is a popular choice. The especially popular nectar milk is also available in a vegan-friendly nectar soy milk flavor, with some customers choosing both to compare. The fig flavor, which contains alcohol, offers a rich aroma and flavor. With a subtle hint of alcohol, it’s perfect for those seeking a more mature taste. Seasonal flavors are also available; when I visited, they were offering the summertime passion pineapple. This vegan-friendly flavor boasts a tart taste with a satisfying fruit texture, making it a perfect treat for when you’re feeling tired.
A wide variety of popular gelatos are available.
The shop also recommends the Rikyu, a combination of dates and matcha, or dates and gianduja. While the colors suggest a strong flavor, the natural sweetness of the dates complements each other, making it a delightful treat to enjoy until the very end. Both the cups and cones are decorated with nuts and flakes for more than just a cute look. Enjoying them with the flavors adds to the nutty aroma and texture, making for an even more enjoyable gelato experience.
The cone is topped with nuts, and the cup with nuts and flakes.
In addition to nectar soy milk, we also offer mango as a standard vegan flavor.
We also offer vegan smoothies.
Enjoy even a small amount and discover new things
The shop’s recommended way to pair dried fruit is with nuts. The apple, banana, and pecan combination is a favorite among staff members when they want to splurge a little.
Dried domestic fruits are also available depending on the season. At the time of our visit, they also had seasonal watermelon dried fruit.
They also offer the store’s own “Hikarie Mix,” which is a combination carefully designed for each store, as well as custom combinations tailored to your budget.
They also offer combinations tailored to the store and the season.
They also offer small quantities of dried fruit by weight, allowing customers to try out their favorite varieties without hesitation. This allows you to enjoy not only your favorite varieties, but also products that interest you.
Enjoy a little at a time with each product you’re interested in.
Not only are many customers giving them as gifts, but recipients often come back to buy them themselves. It’s also a great idea to bring your own containers when purchasing by weight, so if you find a product you like, consider bringing your own container and contributing to the environment.
