Mon Chere Elevates Japanese Patisserie with 27℃ Launch in Tokyo
Since its inception in 2003, Mon Chere has been a beacon of joy with its flagship offering, the iconic Dojima Roll. As the company marks its 23rd anniversary, it ventures to a new frontier: the introduction of its high-end patisserie brand, 27℃, in Tokyo. On July 4, 2026, Mon Chere will unveil its first permanent location for 27℃ at the prestigious Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store in Tokyo.
The name '27℃' holds special significance, as it reflects the ideal temperature used during the chocolate tempering process to achieve optimal aroma, gloss, and mouthfeel. This connection underscores the brand's commitment to premium quality and exquisite confectionery craftsmanship. Each dessert tells a story, characterized not just by its ingredients but also by the artisan's touch, creativity, and respect for the ingredients used.
This opening represents a significant milestone for 27℃, marking its debut in Tokyo's vibrant culinary scene. The brand aims to resonate with discerning customers who appreciate fine pastries.
