Zhihu celebrity Yu Qingpu studied in Japan when he studied at the Tokyo Confectionery School, and after returning to China in 15, he founded one of the few Japanese confectionery cake shops in Beijing. Its cakes are mainly French desserts that are biased towards Japanese tastes, which are closer to the taste of Chinese people while reducing the sweetness, and the price is not high and the shape is unique, so it is highly respected by many cake lovers.
Cheesecake is a standard in cake shops, but if you're not careful, it's easy to get bored, but Koto's double-layered cheesecake is perfectly balanced between aroma and freshness. The low flour is mixed with Cream Cheese to form a roasted cheese layer, and the mascarpone cheese is added on top to form a moist frozen cheese layer, which is distinctly layered, and the pale yellow cheese layer is all tantalizing your eyes and taste buds. It is worth mentioning that when the cheesecake was just taken out of the freezer, the frozen layer had a slight ice ballast, which was probably related to its high moisture, and it tasted almost ice cream at this time; When the temperature rises and the cheese layer thaws, the aroma of the cheese reappears. At present, I have not encountered such a layered cheesecake in other cake shops in Beijing, and it is worth recommending.
The shape of the snow in Bitan is very pleasing, the bottom of the chocolate cake creates three-dimensional waves, and then it is laid out with matcha powder, just like the rippling pool of blue waves, and a few points of shredded coconut are sprinkled on it, and the artistic conception is elegant. However, the taste is still sweet and greasy, especially the matcha powder is slightly lacking in sweetness, and the chocolate steals the limelight, but fortunately, a piece of grapefruit sandwich is added in the center, and the slightly bitter and fresh taste of the grapefruit neutralizes the sweetness.
Zhou is the heaviest cake in the confectionery, chocolate sponge cake base, 71% concentration of dark chocolate composition shell, the inner layer of red and green sandwich, respectively, cranberry jam and pistachio mousse, there is a lot of taste; Finally, add edible gold leaf to show the stars in the universe and hit the nail on the head. This cake has a high sweetness, so it is recommended to taste it at the end so as not to affect the taste of other categories.
The existing Higashidahashi store is located on the B1 floor of the Shangdu West Tower, at the end of a small corridor, adjacent to a gym. The environment is small, not as good as other cake shops, and it can even be called simple, but according to Yu Qingjia's information on Zhihu, the new store of Joy City will open in 2018, and interested friends may wish to pay attention.
