Hakone Emoa Terrace by Onko Chishin Launches Second Collaborative Sweet with Hakone Lalique Museum: Summer-Only Dessert Inspired by Heart-Shaped Perfume Bottle

Hakone Emoa Terrace by Onko Chishin (Location: 186-1 Sengokuhara, Hakone-machi, Ashigarashimo-gun, Kanagawa Prefecture; General Manager: Kenji Kato), operated by Onko Chishin Co., Ltd.—a company that produces destination hotels that become travel destinations in themselves—will launch a summer-limited dessert, "Cool Joyau," starting July 1, 2026 (Wed), as the second installment of a collaboration with the special exhibition "Cultural Exchange of 'Kawaii' between Japan and France as Seen Through René Lalique" currently held at the adjacent Hakone Lalique Museum.

An original dessert inspired by the perfume bottle "Cool Joyau" featured in the exhibition

Marc Lalique, Perfume Bottle "Cool Joyau," 1944

"Cool Joyau" was the first fragrance created by the global fashion brand Nina Ricci.

This perfume bottle, designed in 1944 by Marc Lalique, son of René Lalique, is characterized by a central hollow in the shape of a heart.

True to its French name meaning "heart of joy," its delicate and elegant form has captivated many admirers over the years.

The dessert features a mousse made of fromage blanc and white chocolate, with a hidden layer of raspberry jelly inside and a base of yomogi-scented biscuit at the bottom.

The surface is coated in white chocolate, with passion fruit sauce poured into a heart shape, adding a vivid golden shimmer.

The contrast between the creamy richness of the cheese and the refreshing tartness of raspberry and passion fruit creates a light, summery flavor profile.

Please enjoy this sweet treat as a delightful continuation of your art-viewing experience.

Second installment of the art-and-cuisine collaboration dessert series

This initiative is part of a series of seasonal collaborative desserts offered throughout the run of the special exhibition at the adjacent Hakone Lalique Museum, which continues until December 6, 2026 (Sun).

Following the first spring-limited dessert "Sakura Chiffon," this second offering takes inspiration from a perfume bottle currently on display in the exhibition.

This exhibition reinterprets the works of glass art master René Lalique through the lens of "kawaii" (cuteness). Hakone Emoa Terrace offers a unique experience where art and cuisine intersect.

Special Exhibition: "Cultural Exchange of 'Kawaii' between Japan and France as Seen Through René Lalique"

This exhibition explores the aesthetic connections between Japan and France through the jewelry and glass artworks of René Lalique, a leading French artisan of the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements, viewed through the lens of "kawaii."

In the late 19th century, "Japonisme"—a fascination with Japanese ukiyo-e prints and crafts—became popular in Europe and significantly influenced French decorative arts.

Lalique's works, often featuring motifs of nature, plants, insects, and female figures, display delicate and ornamental expressions that resonate with Japanese aesthetics.

These artistic styles eventually made their way back to Japan, influencing the Taisho Romantic era and the development of Japan's "kawaii" culture.

The exhibition highlights the charming motifs and graceful designs in Lalique's works, unraveling the shared sensibility of "kawaii" that has evolved through mutual cultural influence between Japan and France.
