| - I couldn't resist and finally stepped into Sasaki to try their famed daifuku. Normally I am only a fan when it is the ice cream kind, straight from the freezer, but there was so much talk about them being amazing, I had to try it for myself... and it did not disappoint!
They are now $2.60 each. I tried houjicha, black sesame, matcha and strawberry. I am already a huge red bean fan, and with the matcha, it was just divine. Houjicha and black sesame are my favourite macaron flavours and they are also very good in the daifuku. I wish the strawberry one reminded me of the yummy ones in Japan, but even though it didn't, it was still refreshing. Of course if there was chestnut flavour today, that would have been a no brainer. Would have picked it up in a heartbeat!
The shop is located in J-Town's supermarket - at the far end (opposite of the cafe).
Give Sasaki Fine Pastry a try today, you'll be glad you did! :)
