These are best enjoyed with homemade jams made from pear and yuzu, alongside clotted cream enriched with hazelnuts and almonds.
The bottom tier presents a flavorful assortment of savory options, including the crispy "Ham and Fig Croffle," which combines delectable layers of ham with sweet figs, and the "Seafood Risotto Croquette," which reveals a golden risotto inside when bitten into.
