| - Maybe I haven't seen the world enough, but this was probably my favorite/best dessert experience so far in my life. I was so excited from the moment I stepped inside. I was in search of dessert after dinner and just found this on yelp. I guess they've been open for 10 months. It's a Japanese dessert place.
The shop: It's mostly bar seating around an open kitchen. There are maybe 3-4 4 person tables on the side. My friend and I grabbed a seat at the bar. Best spot! I went to the bathroom, and srsly, my first time writing a review about it, but it had those Japanese styled toilets. Seat warmer, fancy buttons that I did not use. I've never been to Japan, but I'd imagine this is what it's like. Best bathroom ever. haha. The place is ran by a few Japanese ladies in their 30s/40s maybe? Very pleasant/nice/smiley staff. They make the dessert on the spot for you. Everything is precut/pre-baked, but they build the desserts on demand. So for example, your cake has a few layers, so they'll put it together like they're creating an art piece. It was very cool to watch. Kinda like sitting at the sushi bar with the sushi chef putting building your omakase dinner, but w/ desserts instead! The menu is made out of edible wafer that you can later rip up and eat with this fruit sauce they give you. The sauce was good, but the menu wafer wasn't really anything, but just a fun idea!
Drinks: They serve wine (and maybe other alcoholic beverages, didn't pay much attention) and tea! The portions are pretty small though. One pot per person in terms of serving size. We tried the apple green tea and peach black tea. Not sweetened. I liked both!
Desserts: We decided to go with the 3 course dessert, yes after dinner already. You can either do that or just get the "main dessert entree." With the prix fixe, we started it off with a small dollop of mango sorbet. It was just ok. I'm not a huge fan of sorbet to begin with. The main dessert entree we tried he Strawberry Tiramisu and Angel Cake (some pear thing). There were 5 choices I think. Hard to choose. The Strawberry Tiramisu didn't really taste like what I imagined from my Tiramisu experiences in the past, BUT it was soooo good!! The little cake on the bottom was amazing. I don't have any other descriptive words to use. The side is drizzled w/ some mousse/cream? so good!! and fruits. 5 star for dessert and presentation! The Angel Cake is like 6 star for presentation! It looks like an Angel! with a Halo and White Chocolate wings. The cream on the cake was very light and yummy. The Strawberry Tiramisu was probably 0.5 stars better than this Pear one, but still very worth it and good. The third course was a cream puff with your choice of vanilla or chocolate custard and choice of fruit filling. Pretty good. If I came again though, I could do without the 3 course thing and jump right to the main dessert entree!
Prices: Main dessert entrees were $12. Three course dessert was $19. Tea was $4.50. I would say a bit heftier in price, but not terribly high and totally worth it!
Overall, I think these desserts are very suitable for the Asian palette. I can see my parents liking it. I normally do ok with regular desserts, but at times it does get heavy and rich. NOT HERE!! Everything is so light! After we were done, I felt like I could do one more (just bc i wanted to try something else), but didn't as not to be a major fatty. Check their hours of operation as it differs depending on day of the week and is a bit tricky. I will definitely come back here when in town!!
