Indulge in the Sweet World of Goûter at France Expo 2025

From August 28 to September 2, 2025, the iconic Nihonbashi Takashimaya will showcase the enchanting world of French pastries and breads brought to you by [Goûter] -グテ-, led by renowned pastry chef and chocolatier, Sébastien Bouillet. This event not only marks a milestone as the first representation of Goûter in Japan but promises to deliver a truly unforgettable experience of delectable French sweets.

[Goûter], which translates to ‘snack’ in French, is no ordinary confectionery. It embodies the spirit of indulgence, providing a variety of unique treats that blend tradition with innovation. At the core of this brand is the philosophy of offering something that is neither simply bread nor mere sweets, but rather a special kind of “gouter” that enliven the senses.

As you step into the venue on the 8th floor of Takashimaya, you will be greeted by the warm and inviting scent of freshly baked goods. The display will feature an array of delightful goodies including financiers, madeleines, sweet breads, and savory pastries. Each item is infused with the masterful craftsmanship and playful spirit characteristic of chef Sébastien Bouillet.
