Ikebukuro's famous restaurant makes its debut! Princess Tart Ikebukuro opened on February 28th!

Tokyo dessert lovers, take note! On February 28, 2026, Princess Tart Ikebukuro, a fruit tart specialty store known for its gorgeous fruit tarts and specialty teas that have been lining up in other areas, will officially open in Ikebukuro. Featuring fruit tarts stacked like sundaes and 18 popular black teas, Princess Tart Ikebukuro will bring a new level of elegance to Ikebukuro's afternoon tea experience.

Operated by Princess Tart, the store's main focus is the perfect pairing of "fruit tart x black tea". Each season, about 10 seasonal fruit tarts will be launched, and the menu will be changed according to the seasonal flavors, so that you will encounter different surprises every time you visit.

A gorgeous tower of fruit stacked like a sundae.

Princess Tower's most distinctive feature is what is described as a "sundae-like assembled fruit tart". Unlike traditional tower desserts that are decorated with a single layer, the fruit tart here is layered with fruits, whipped cream, and a variety of textures, and the delicate design can be seen from the cut surface. It is like a princess dessert for yourself, with a sense of splendor for the eyes and the palate.

Each tower displayed in the window is a protagonist. From the first glance, to the flavorful aftertaste that gradually unfolds in the mouth, each tart is designed to be the star of the show. The restaurant emphasizes the proportion of the cuts and the way they are presented, so that the taste and aesthetics can be combined.

Four key points to create the ultimate fruit tower

1. Combination of flavors created by a powerhouse dessert chef

Each tower is created by a team of dessert chefs who have honed their skills in Tokyo, and each tower combines the creativity and techniques of several dessert chefs. The ratio of fruits to cream, the balance of sweet and sour, and the variation of flavors are all adjusted through repeated trials and tribulations.

2. Strictly selected fresh fruits in season

We use the most delicious fruits of the season. In-season fruits are not only sweeter and more flavorful, they are also more nutritious, revealing the most natural fruit flavors and layers.

3. handmade cream filling

To bring out the fruit flavors, all the creams are handmade. The cream is rich and smooth but not greasy, and blends perfectly with the crispy tart skin.

4. Repeatedly try to finish the crispy tartar skin

The crust has been tweaked many times, so that even on its own, you can feel the flavor and layers. It is crispy but not too hard, and it is the key base for the overall flavor, as it brings out the fruits without stealing the flavor.

18 Popular Black Teas for a Complete Afternoon Tea Experience

In addition to the fruit tart, the store also offers a selection of 18 black teas from the popular bakery and coffee shop, Flour+water. From fresh and floral to rich and fruity, there is a wide range of flavors to match with different tarts. The combination of dessert and tea makes the afternoon tea time more ceremonial.

Whether you're looking for a self-appreciation, a date, a birthday souvenir or a gift, this is Ikebukuro's newest dessert spot.
