| - This is a gem of a Japanese bakery. You will pay Japanese prices, though. We love going here to pick up some kreme and an pan. Those go for $1.75 a piece. The kreme is a little more eggy than what I ate in Japan, but it is still very good. The an pan is wonderful, too.
They do have the strawberry cake, of course. This is the one thing that they seem to have the reputation for. It doesn't come cheap. $3.75 a slice is very reasonable but be prepared to spend $28 for a 10" cake. They have various sizes, I do not know who many, but they do have an 8" cake as well as larger. Japanese strawberry cake is prized in Japan and is a lighter, less sweet cake than what we are accustomed to. I haven't tried theirs yet, but look forward to another visit.
They have flan (Japanese flan is better than Mexican flan, IMHO), green tea cake, and other goodies. They also serve Japanese style lunch sandwiches and you better get there early before they sell out.
They all speak Nihongo, so if you are First, Second, or Third generation and speak the language, you will feel right at home here.
