| - From social media to word of mouth, Raku Sweets has somehow been brought to my attention one way or another... And it's for a real good reason.
What sets this spot from the rest (that I've seen so far) is the interior decor. It is the cleanest design and color scheme... It compliments their product, delicious and colorful desserts. For a place that has earned the "I must take a photo/video" accolade, you must have the best background, and Raku has achieved that.
For a small room, this is worth the wait. Be appreciate of that wait because you will wait for the desserts as well. This is food at its best, prepared and presented like it was intended as, Food Art. We went for the two course dessert, chocolate croissant, and Peach hot black tea.
Every little detail of the room is amazing. A lot of is authentic of a food spot in Japan. Even the bathroom is authentic with a Japanese automatic bathroom and a hand-washing well.
The presentation of silverware starts off the experience. You become excited. Then the hot tea was presented and boy was it delicious. You should look into hot teas as it compliments sweet dishes very well and the hot temperature helps cuts the richness of the dessert.
Chocolate croissant was heated up and served. My Lord was this pastry FLAKY and CRISPY. I could eat these things for days!!! I was then started off with a watermelon, lemon mousse, wine jelly, and a creme fraiche. This was over-the-top light and refreshing... So delicious! Crisp fruit, tart mousse, and a nice complimenting wine jelly.
Let's get to the final part, the main dessert: Riyku. A mix combination of classic Asian flavors: black sesame, matcha green tea, red bean with the compliments of strawberry, chestnut, and vanilla creme. I love the light and fluffy composition. Such a beautiful dish as well.
For what this place is worth, the price point could be MUCH higher. Make the effort and experience this place.
