Featured Limited-Time Sweets
Nounours Remerciement
The star of the show this Mother's Day is undoubtedly the
Nounours Remerciement, charmingly designed as a bear-shaped financier. This treat is crafted with a combination of strawberry paste and freeze-dried strawberries. The adorable bear, affectionately named “Nounours,” holds a bouquet, making it a perfect messenger of gratitude. The moist texture and gentle sweetness of strawberries make this confection a visible and palatable delight. Priced at ¥432 (including tax), it will be available until May 10 (Sunday).
Religieuse
Adding to the charm is the
Religieuse, a double cream puff covered in raspberry glaze. Delicately filled with smooth pastry cream and berry confit, this sweet treat balances sweetness with a hint of tartness. The top decoration, reminiscent of a carnation, gives it an elegant flair, making it an impeccable choice for Mother's Day celebrations. The
Religieuse is priced at ¥540 (including tax) and will be sold from May 8 (Friday) to May 10 (Sunday).
