A new Japanese cafe in the Yonge and Sheppard area that offers different selections of mochi, madelaines, angel hat cake, cheese cake and ice cream. They just opened so looks like they're still ironing out the kinks but for now I give them 3 stars. We got:
- Orange daifuku mochi: It was interesting! Basically a whole mandarin orange wrapped in mochi. I prefer the daifuku at Tsujiri, but this was still worth a try. They also offer other interesting ones like kiwi (ice cream filling)
- Banana daifuku (ice cream filling and banana): delicious. I am hooked!!
- Strawberry chocolate daifuku - good
- Sakura no bake cheesecake: It was a bit too sweet and jelly-like for my taste. Though I heard they are affiliated with Uncle Testsu so I may go back and try their "angel dome" ones (matcha flavour).
- Mochi- found it sweet. We tried the sakura, sesame and matcha.
- Ice cream: It comes in a cute "decorated" cone. Stand out flavours were black sesame and taro (strong taste), while mango and ginger were like ones you get at the ayce places. They also have other flavours like matcha, strawberry, chocolate. Great value - $5 for 2 scoops.
- Original flavour Angel hat cheesecake - ok
Overall, think this place shows promise. There's lots of competition in the area though so let's see if they can step up their game :) The ice cream is competitively priced but the daifuku and mochi are expensive at $4 each.
