Cute and delicious Japanese bakery. My friends and I tried 5 of the desserts: the matcha crepe roll, cassis noir mousse, Kyoto matcha mousse, truffle cake, and strawberry shortcake. I also got a matcha latte. Everything was good.
Matcha crepe roll -- filled with a red bean cream with just the right amount of sweetness. It was a lot of cream, which I normally don't like, but it was light and fluffy and not overwhelming.
Cassis noir mousse -- loved the tartness of the cassis to balance the sweet. My only nit would be the cake part at the bottom was neither cakey nor crunchy, so I was confused by the texture (flavor was good though).
Kyoto matcha mousse -- good, but not as memorable as the two above.
Truffle cake -- surprisingly good (I've come to expect not-so-good chocolate desserts at Asian bakeries, but this was good). The cake was dense, but not dry, and the mousse part was also rich, which works for me since I like chocolate (and prefer richer, denser chocolate over airier mousses).
Strawberry shortcake -- pretty good as well. As is often typical of Asian bakery cakes, the cake was a lighter chiffon cake. A tad sweet for my liking, but good overall.
