Like Jiangjiang, where did the customer come from is also located in a courtyard south of Sanlitun, in fact, these two cake shops that are almost next to each other have more in common - they are both Internet celebrity stores that have become famous in the capital in the past two years. The "Kaiseki Desserts" set is the best embodiment of its Japanese-style cakes, and of course, the price is also rising, leading to some evaluations that "2/3 of the price is used on the location and tableware". Still, there is a lot of room for people coming from, and there are waiting times almost all day on holidays, and some of the most popular cakes even need to be pre-ordered.
The exterior of the store is designed in Japanese dry landscapes, with sand and rockeries creating a miniature space in a few square meters of space, with five cubes carved with the traditional name of the store combined with each other, seemingly random placement actually corresponds to the theme of "food and customers". The store is divided into three floors, with white as the main color and light yellow lighting, which is neat and bright, in line with the Japanese theme of emphasizing simplicity and sophistication. However, due to the limited structure of the building, each floor is rectangular in shape, and there are few tables that can be placed, and most of them are small tables with less than three people, and even if the roof area is opened, the capacity and the surging passenger flow are still disproportionate. In addition, the store's cutlery such as knives and forks are very good-looking, and the prices are naturally expensive, including luxury brands such as Gien, Bernardaud, Hermès, etc., and cutipol's forks and spoons are even provided by gender, with the dazzling Gold series for girls and the low-key Black series for boys; At the same time, many cups are specially purchased from Japan, which can indeed be seen to be different and exquisite, which can be said to be very relevant to the pain points of the target audience.
Rice wine mousse combines creativity and beauty, and the minefield is small, so it has become a must-order item for many guests. The main body is the mousse commonly used in Western-style cakes, but the addition of traditional Chinese rice wine (said to be Hakka smoked liquor) turns from light to strong after entering the throat, and the aroma of the rice wine begins to disperse, but it always maintains a restrained sweetness, smooth and delicate. The addition of Guangdong horseshoe granules adds a sweet and crisp taste, and with the small and unique shape of the bamboo tube, it is very fresh.
Another popular dish is the tiramisu glutinous rice ball, which is filled with rum-soaked raisins mixed with crushed biscuits and coffee cream, wrapped in a sticky rice crust and served with salty meat floss. However, this salty and sweet combination may also cause unaccustomation, and the saltiness of the meat floss overshadows the tiramis, so that some people think that they are eating Chef Bao's seaweed meat floss cake, but it is also related to personal taste.
Whether it is jasmine or matcha flavor, the biggest highlight is that the layering is excellent, and the layering is an important factor affecting the taste of a mille-feuille cake. The sweetness of jasmine and matcha is well controlled, especially because of the addition of Ito Kuemon's small green matcha powder to the matcha, the taste is pure, not too astringent, and there is a sweet aftertaste. Due to the special needs of matcha mille-feuille, the crust of this cake is relatively thick, but it is still within the normal range. The disadvantage of the store's mille-feuille cake is that the cream between the layers of the crust is not made of Japanese pure cream, but it is seasoned, which may be more pleasing to the mouth, but it loses the sweetness of pure cream. The mille-feuille collection is very popular, so if you want to make sure you get your favorite style, we recommend calling in advance.
As for the "Kaiseki Sweets", which is an innovative dessert set meal in Japanese cuisine, you can try it by adjusting the menu according to the gender and season of the guests. The price of 188 yuan per person seems to be on the high side, but considering that the average price of cakes in the store is about 80 yuan, the set meal with 3 desserts is very cost-effective. Generally speaking, the customer's attention to the environment and tableware has caused a premium in the product, but the attention to the selection of materials and the creativity of the design in the production of desserts really make people feel the sincerity of the store.
