| - It's a small store located by Durango and Warm Springs in the plaza with the Sonics and behind the Jiffy Lube. There are only a few tables, I believe two or three tables, there was only one group of two there when I went, they happened to be speaking Japanese too.
I went without knowing what to expect, as I've been disappointed with Japanese food in Las Vegas (being from Japan and spending most of my life there, I tend to know what tastes authentic). But to my surprise I was quite pleased with this place!
I got the strawberry shortcake and green tea cake. They were about $2-4 each (will check prices next time), but that's actually basically considered "normal" in Japan so I don't mind the prices too much.
The strawberry shortcake tasted just like the ones I've had in my local bakeries back in Japan, there's a slight difference, but it's hardly noticeable. I will definitely be getting more of them! They aren't sweet and some may not like it because it definitely isn't like American sweets at all. It's like a sponge cake base but it is not as fluffy as American sponge cake, it may seem a little bland to some (my friend felt it was bland).
The green tea cake is just like matcha green tea taste. If you're a fan of green tea and something not super sweet this is another good one, it also tastes like the ones from Japan as well.
The two I've tried so far have very authentic tastes from Japan, I will definitely be coming back to try other things!
