New Millets-day cheesecake at Yamanashi Art Museum

A Millet-inspired apple cheesecake served only on Millet Days.

At COLERE, the universal cafe and restaurant inside Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art, a new dessert menu launches on May 23, 2026: the “Millet Day Limited ‘Sowing’ Apple Cheesecake.” It is served only on the museum’s designated “Millet Days,” meaning every day with a 3 in the date.

The plate features a cookie inspired by Millet’s famous work “The Sower,” along with a homemade Japanese apple cheesecake topped with nuts. The concept reflects Millet’s hometown, an apple-growing region, and his background as the eldest son of a farming family. The menu also connects visitors more closely with the museum’s collection and identity. Other confirmed items include homemade apple cheesecake and homemade pudding.

During the rose-bloom season, a special version is offered on May 23, 30, 31, and June 3, with dried roses and rose syrup added to the plate. The regular version is planned to continue year-round at 850 yen, but only on Millet Days. It is a good option for visitors who want both art and dessert in one stop.
