in tokyo, japan (jan’24)

another pastry shop i’ve been dying to try and thank you fairy godmother for inviting me. they take normal reservations from omakase for afternoon hours, but around dinner time or after 20:30~ are members only, so actually a great spot to hang out for desserts after dinner.

since it was strawberry season, had to try her parfait and infamous shortcake. loved the simplicity in her parfaits, just highlighting the jewels of the season, comprised of strawberry jelly, pickled strawberries before her cream, fresh strawberry and grated iced strawberries were added. also tried her strawberry daifuku which i loved more than the parfait, it had pastry cream with nuggets of mochi inside, ice-cream, anko, and diced strawberries.

her shortcake was also very very good, different style to ucchi’s i’d say, this had a richer eggier sponge and a very light cream - versus ucchi’s which is definitely creamier and milkier. so i really enjoyed this as a post dinner dessert with huge chunks of strawberry inside. to each their own, both shortcakes were incredibly good and worth trying for sweets lovers like myself.

also tried her freshly baked financier and slices of maple basque cheesecake to go which we devoured the day after. would really love to be back for her other parfaits, shortcake flavours and her canele. thank you for having me!
