This parfait dessert from Japan's Restaurant Yuzuan ventures into new territory—and people are raving about it.
Berries and chocolate are some of the parfait classics that you won't find topping this fish parfait, but not everything essential has been left out of this dessert. Restaurant Yuzuan pairs whipped cream and ice cream with a grilled sashimi bonito, balancing the sweetness of the dessert items with the savory profiles of the fish, garlic and ginger.
Although this unusual fish parfait is presented in a tall sundae-style ice cream glass, patrons at this restaurant have the option to be served additional items like rice and a side of miso soup to make it more of a filling dinner meal.
