Miravile Impakt: Home-made Dessert with Renkon Chips.

Miravile Impakt is an intimate (read: small) restaurant specialising in upmarket desserts that can be found a short walk away from Yurakucho Station on the Yamanote Line in Tokyo.

I went with a group of friends, baulked at both the high prices and the concept of eating just dessert and ordered the fish dinner set. It included the fish of the day, soup, bread, salad, one dessert and coffee. Sounds a lot, but the fish/soup/bread/salad all came at once on one small tray. My friends, all of whom had selected the ‘five desserts of your choice’ option, had an endless parade of dishes. Some of it was even made with gold.

At least my Mongozo banana beer was good. I’ve never tried a flavoured beer that successfully balanced both flavours like this one did. Highly recommended.

In conclusion, when at a dessert restaurant, order dessert.

    It might not have tasted great, but the fish set *looks* very impressive!

    Thanks for the pictures in general – they’re the kind of things that make me think, “can we try this at home?” (especially the apple)…

      The fish set was great (excepting the salad) — but very small and came all at once.

      The apple was delicious, but I wouldn’t know where to begin in recreating it.

    That looks delicious! All of it!
