As you can guess from the name, the founder of Shibata Pastry is a Japanese. Japanese cakes are deeply influenced by French desserts, and in the last century, cake chefs were organized to study in France on a large scale, and after these chefs returned to China, they integrated Japanese delicacy and freshness into elegant French desserts, with a unique style, and created a batch of new French sweets with very memorable points.
Against this backdrop, in 1995, Takeshi Shibata opened his first Shibata West Pastry in his hometown of Tajimi, and in more than 20 years, he expanded his territory to Japan, opening stores in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Hong Kong and other cities. In Shanghai, where French sweets are everywhere, Shibata pastries do not follow the old way of flashiness, but are reasonable and restrained and innovative, and have always been very popular among local cake lovers.
The "goddess" is definitely Shibata's façade, Araguani's 72% dark chocolate wraps the cream mousse inside, a layer of wafer and a few wine-stained cherries are hidden in it, crunchy and sweet and sour neutralize the bitterness of the high chocolate, rich in layers, rich in richness with lightness, it is a must-order sign. It should be reminded that this cake has a strong flavor and is suitable for relieving greasy with Earl Grey tea or mint tea; If you choose several types of cakes at the same time, it is advisable to postpone the order in which they are tasted so as not to affect the taste of the other cakes.
If the "goddess" emphasizes nobility and elegance, the plate-covered mousse brings out the taste of love with its vibrant shape and taste. The red chocolate crispy skin is shaped into a heart shape and has a bright red color for an eye-catching appearance; At the same time, the tender and mellow mousse and the sweet and sour sandwich on the plate form the filling, and finally the soft and glutinous almond cake is the backing, the whole cake is rich in taste and agreed on the whole, which shows the chef's ability to control the taste matching.
Lightning puffs are relatively ordinary in appearance, but they have a variety of flavors and are also popular styles in the store. The CBS in the name is the initials of caramel, butter, and sea salt, indicating that this puff has three flavors: sweet, salty, and oily. The puff skin is filled with full of caramel cream, and then coated with a layer of caramel sauce, and the top layer is sprinkled with British Maldon sea salt and French Philippe Olivier butter, the taste is warm and silky, and the sweet, salty, bitter and greasy aromas are integrated and spread in the mouth, overcoming the shortcomings of the single taste of ordinary puffs and reaching the middle and high level of the industry.
In addition to dine-in, Shibata West Pastry also has a wide variety of whole cakes, and the premium is not serious, and the cost performance is high. Although the sweetness has been adjusted for Asian tastes, many customers still feel that Shibata's desserts are too sweet and greasy, and they need to be paired with coffee or strong tea to balance the taste. Despite the sincerity of the staff's attitude and repeated apologies and replacements, it can still be seen that there is room for improvement.
