Tendou is now Patisserie Kirin, which is located in the same plaza but on the other side, next to Gal's Sushi. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. We were excited to order our fave Black Sesame soft serve since we had no luck with our last visit to Tendou when we found out they were temporarily closed. Unfortunately it was not available due to the machine not working. We then ordered the Matcha soft serve - Warabi Mochi and they sold out of that mochi. Isabelle, who was taking our order, felt so bad, apologized and offered the other mochi that was available for free. We agreed and decided on a Matcha Soft serve and a Kirifuda opera cake.
While having our dessert, Isabelle came over to tell us the machine was working again and offered us a cup of the sesame soft serve on the house! We were absolutely impressed with her service!
Matcha Soft Serve -
It was a bit too gritty, icy for our liking and it lacked a bit of sweetness. The mochi without the red bean, lacked sweetness as well.
Kirifuda -
I love anything Black Currant! So this was a must try for me. I was able to taste the black currant in the cremeux and I loved the praline crunch on the bottom layer.
Black Sesame Soft Serve -
Loved the strong sesame flavour! Although I've noticed that it was a bit icier than the one we loved at Tendou.
Overall we give them 3 stars, as we were really happy with the service provided. Apparently I was informed that their grand opening is on June 2 so there is definitely room for improvement. We will be back to give another try.
