- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)

To hull the strawberries, grab a small paring knife. Hold a strawberry by the stem and carefully insert the knife tip into the pointed end opposite the stem. Use a gentle sawing motion to remove the core, then repeat with all the strawberries.
prepare kiwi and peach:
Wash and Place a kiwi on a flat surface and carefully cut off a thin slice from each end with a paring knife. Peel away the skin with knife or peeler.
Peel the peach and remove pit:

Use a sharp knife to carefully cut the peach in half along the groove and remove the pit and cut in 4 wedges.
- Pat dry Fruits:Once you've prepped all your fruits (strawberries, kiwi, peaches, etc.) arrange them on a nice platter or tray. If there's any surface moisture on the fruit gently pat them with a clean paper towel.
- Whip Cream:
Find a medium-sized metal or glass mixing bowl. Make sure the bowl is clean and dry! Even a little moisture can affect whipping cream.
Nestle the metal mixing bowl on top of the larger bowl filled with ice water.

Place two slices of japanese milk bread (shokupan) on your work space, spread generous amount of cream on each slice. Than add your fruits.

- Draw Cut Line:
draw a line on the plastic wrap of each sandwich to mark your cut line with the attractive cross section or you can use a clean, food-safe toothpick to gently nudge a few slices of fruit right in the center, where you imagine the cut line would be. This will give you a visual cue when you cut without marking the wrap.
- Refrigerate:
