Description
Inspired by Hokkaido's dairy heritage, the shop uses a traditional Japanese recipe adapted with local ingredients to capture that signature flavor. Beyond the classic cheese filling, the menu includes flavors like chocolate hazelnut, raspberry, mango, and matcha. The fillings are consistently soft and creamy, though the crusts draw mixed feedback: the shop offers two types of crust that are generally crumbly, though some patrons find the pastry shells to be occasionally tough. Bottled Harney & Sons teas are also available.
