Kinokuniya is now offering its summer-limited, homemade 'Meringue Lemon Pie' at all stores.
This popular dessert is crafted with four layers: Italian meringue, lemon cream, whipped cream, and a pastry base, offering a refreshing and luxurious taste.
■Refreshing Lemon Sweets Perfect for the Hot Season
We have layered fluffy Italian meringue, tangy lemon cream, and mildly sweet whipped cream. The harmony between the lemon acidity and the richness of the cream makes it a perfect, easy-to-enjoy treat for the warm season.
■Improved with a 'Lunette' Pastry Base
This year, we have changed the pastry base from traditional pie dough to our popular 'Lunette' baked good. This adds the distinct aroma of Lunette, resulting in an even more flavor-rich creation.
Enjoy the luxurious experience of overlapping notes of zesty lemon, sweet whipped cream, and the fragrant Lunette.
■Summer-Exclusive Popular Dessert
'Meringue Lemon Pie' is available from May through August. Please enjoy this seasonal flavor during tea time or as an after-meal dessert.
