Signature Dishes
Chestnut King Pie
The chestnut version contains house-made chestnut paste, almond cream, and blackcurrant; its pastry is savory and fragrant, and the filling is not cloying. When shared as part of a set meal, the portion was once a small slice.
Red Bean Bread
The red-bean filling has a beany texture and is sweet without being cloying; it also contains a particle that may or may not be a nut, adding flavor. The bread is soft and springy.
Original Crisp Croissant
Crisp outside, soft and layered inside, with a sweet sugar coating on the outermost layer and a rich overall texture.
Japanese Salt Croissant
The interior has distinct layers and is airy with some spring; it has light saltiness, a rich butter aroma, and a well-balanced sweet-salty taste.
Cranberry Butter Toast
The toast is soft inside, with cranberry aroma paired with a buttery topping for a richly layered flavor.
