01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Vibrant gradations of sorbet, jelly, and whipped cream layered in tall glassware define the Strings Parfait, the signature confection at Rhythmos Cafe And Bar. Offerings rotate with the calendar, from spring compositions like the Sakura Strawberry—blending cherry blossom perfume with tart berries—to layered showcases of melon or dekopon citrus, each tier calibrated for contrasting texture and aroma. The seasonal afternoon tea services follow suit, pairing delicate pastries and scones with thoughtful savory bites for a measured, leisurely midday break.
A well-curated tea program complements the sweet counterpoint. The cellar list features aromatic options such as The Strings Original Blend, infused with bergamot peach and citrus peel, alongside TWG's Royal Darjeeling with its apricot-like fragrance and sweet chocolate berry teas. For an intermission of salt between confection courses, truffle-flavored fries can be ordered alongside selected beverages.
Occupying a high-floor aerie on the Konan side of Shinagawa Station, the venue features high ceilings and generously spaced tables conducive to quiet conversation. As dusk arrives, the space shifts naturally into a bar setting serving house cocktails and wine. Advance table reservations are accepted, making it easy to schedule anything from an afternoon celebration to an evening rendezvous.
