Discover the Sweet World of BROWN TABBY
A delightful new establishment,
BROWN TABBY, has recently opened its doors in the Ryogoku area of Tokyo. This bakery is dedicated to bringing moments of sweetness and enchanting narratives into the daily lives of its patrons.
At the heart of BROWN TABBY’s philosophy lies not only the exceptional taste of their baked goods but also the entire experience surrounding them — from the moment you pick them up to the lingering aromas that accompany each bite.
Focusing on classic baked items like
financiers and
madeleines, the bakery prioritizes the use of carefully selected ingredients that achieve a perfect balance of flavor, richness, and moist texture. The creators believe in subtlety, aiming for flavors that make you want to indulge again and again, flavors that gently become part of your everyday life.
Unique Flavor Combinations
One of the standout offerings includes six distinct flavors of
financiers and three innovative
madeleines, all incorporating traditional Japanese ingredients. These original flavor combinations provide a refreshing twist to baked goods. Some of the intriguing options available include:
- Kinako & Kokuto (roasted soybean flour & brown sugar)
- Wasabi & Raspberry
- Black Sesame & Wasanbon (refined Japanese sugar)
- Matcha & Sweet Adzuki Beans
- Edo Miso & Sansho (Japanese pepper)
- Japanese Chestnut & Matcha
- Yuzu & Pistachio
- Soy Sauce & Caramel
- Dassai Sake & Ginger
In addition to these remarkable flavors, BROWN TABBY also offers a special cat-shaped financier, crafted from an original mold that captures the charming silhouette of a cat, inviting patrons to pick them up. This playful design not only showcases their commitment to artistry but also adds a dash of fun to the classic world of baked goods.
Timeless Classics in Familiar Flavors
For those who prefer traditional tastes, BROWN TABBY provides a selection of classic flavors, including Plain, Chocolate, Earl Grey, Cheese, and Caramel Macadamia. Each flavor is crafted to express the true essence of the ingredients, ensuring a delightful experience with every bite.
Commitment to Quality Ingredients
The
financiers are crafted using 100% premium Marcona almond flour, known as the "Queen of Almonds," which imparts a rich depth and a moist mouthfeel. Furthermore, BROWN TABBY applies high-quality French Valrhona chocolate coatings to their special financiers, allowing customers to savor the lingering decadence of chocolate in their baked goods.
Instead of conventional white sugar, the bakery opts for Honwako sugar, which retains the natural flavors and richness of sugarcane. This choice enhances the tasting experience, allowing for a gentle sweetness that complements the intricate layers of flavor in every treat.
The Concept Behind BROWN TABBY
The name
BROWN TABBY itself is inspired by a type of cat fur pattern known as 'Kijitora.' Much like these charming cats that occasionally curl up beside us, BROWN TABBY aspires to become a beloved part of the lives of its visitors.
To enhance the enjoyment of their baked goods, the bakery also offers specialty coffee. This versatile blend of beans from Brazil, Ethiopia, and Colombia is roasted to a French style, perfectly complementing the sweetness and buttery richness of the baked treats. The goal is to provide a comforting cup that harmoniously ties together with the overall experience.
A New Sweet Experience Awaits You
BROWN TABBY not only aims to deliver sweetness in food but also creates moments of respite within the busy rhythm of everyday life. By offering a unique culinary experience filled with warmth and allure, the bakery invites you to pause and savor the simple pleasures.
