Sembikiya Azabudai Hills: Musk Melon Parfait & Brand Differences (2026)
Tokyo Mate
Sembikiya Azabudai Hills musk melon parfait prices and full menu guide. Here is an up-to-date 2026 overview of the three Sembikiya brands — Ginza, Nihonbashi, and Kyobashi — and the items that are exclusive to the Azabudai Hills branch.
About Sembikiya
Sembikiya began in 1834 in Tokyo and is one of Japan’s leading high-end fruit specialty shops. It is known today for musk melons, fruit gift sets, and fruit parfaits, but it originally started out as a shop selling fruits and vegetables.
Over its long history, branches of Sembikiya became independent, and today there are three separate brands: Nihonbashi Sembikiya Sohonten, Kyobashi Sembikiya, and Ginza Sembikiya. They share the same name but are separate companies, and their menus and atmospheres differ slightly.
The Azabudai Hills branch introduced here belongs to the Nihonbashi Sembikiya Sohonten line, where you can enjoy the classic fruit parlor menu and the musk melon parfait.
Ginza vs Nihonbashi vs Kyobashi Sembikiya: What’s the Difference?
Sembikiya shares a name across three brands today — Nihonbashi Sembikiya Sohonten, Kyobashi Sembikiya, and Ginza Sembikiya — but each is run as a separate company, so the menus, signature products, and store atmosphere differ.
If you are looking for travel gifts and souvenirs, Ginza Sembikiya is the one most people go to. For a classic fruit parlor experience with a musk melon parfait, Nihonbashi Sembikiya Sohonten is the place. Kyobashi Sembikiya is best known for seasonal limited desserts and premium fruits.
① Nihonbashi Sembikiya Sohonten (Founded 1834)
This is the root brand that all other Sembikiya branches trace back to. It is known for the classic fruit parlor, the musk melon parfait, and the fruit sandwich. The Azabudai Hills branch covered here is also part of the Nihonbashi Sembikiya Sohonten line.
② Kyobashi Sembikiya (1881)
Independent from Sohonten, this brand’s strength is premium fruits and seasonal limited desserts. It is especially popular among those looking for the musk melon parfait or seasonal parfaits.
③ Ginza Sembikiya (1894)
The flagship brand in Ginza, an area with strong demand for gifts. It is especially known for musk melons, fruit jellies, and gift sweets, and many visitors stop by specifically to pick up travel souvenirs.

A premium parfait you can only get at Sembikiya Nihonbashi Sohonten, packed with Queen Strawberry, a winter-season strawberry. Its showy tiara-motif presentation has made it popular.
Queen Strawberry is ripe red all the way through the flesh, juicy, and well balanced between sweetness and a clean tartness. Paired with rich vanilla ice cream, it makes for an elegant strawberry dessert.
Assorted Fruit Selection Tea Set ¥5,390 (Azabudai Hills Exclusive)
An afternoon-tea style three-tier plate featuring musk melon along with tropical and seasonal fruits. Its showy presentation has made it popular. Comes with a black tea or coffee set.
