This Cafe in Japan Makes Parfaits That Are 4 Feet High

Parfait construction is becoming very competitive in Japan. Some are made with raw tuna and others come with entire slices of cake on top. I don’t know which restaurant makes the most extreme parfaits, but the Cafe Olympic in Nagasaki is surely a contender. It specializes in huge parfaits, the largest of which, named the “Nagasaki Dream Tower” is nearly 4 feet tall. It’s a combination of ice cream, ice cream cones, cakes, cheese cakes, jello, whipped cream, corn flakes, and more. It’s so huge that eating one (or more, I suppose, if you’re still hungry) requires the use of a special spoon, which is pictured below.
