What also appears to be trending is the number of luxury automotive brands partnering with cult foodie favourites from Porsche with Baker & Cook to Audi with Burnt Ends Bakery, and Lexus has now teamed up with local artisans from French bakery Paatisserie CLE to create the Lexus Aichi Miso Cake, which is exclusive to the Lexus Boutique.
The unique, handcrafted cake takes inspiration from Lexus’ headquarters in the Aichi Prefecture of Japan, featuring hatcho miso, a dark and rich red miso made with high-quality soybeans and salt that’s aged for three winters. The robust ingredient is known for its bold flavour and adds a deep umami complexity with hints of sweetness, which guests can sample alongside the Bespoke Lexus Symphony Tea.
According to Lexus, the tea, a luxurious blend of white monkey green tea, or baimao hou, infused with fragrant osmanthus flowers, is just the sort of small but important element in the sensory journey designed to evoke a sense of harmony in the thoughtfully curated space. For customers new to the brand, the Lexus Boutique on level 1 is where they can peruse new car models while the Lexus L Gallery on the second storey showcases the more prestigious L series models.
