We tried two cakes from the popular patisserie EN VEDETTE in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, Koto-ku, Tokyo. They are "en vedette", a rum raisin cake named after the store, and "gâteau fraise", a shortcake.

EN VEDETTE

A popular patisserie located in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, Koto-ku, Tokyo. Its simple white exterior is a landmark. In addition to the Kiyosumi-Shirakawa store, there is also a Shibuya Scramble Square store and an online store selling baked goods.

Ambudette

A cake that bears the name of the restaurant. Layers of chocolate mousse with rum raisins, pine nut ganache, and hazelnut duckoise. The price is 648 yen (tax included).


The arch of white chocolate decorating the top is artistic. One raisin is placed on the top and one on the inside.


The chocolatey mousse is filled with chopped rum raisins. The flavor of rum and cacao is mellow and fragrant.


The base of the duckworth is moist. The crunchy texture and the aroma of hazelnuts can be enjoyed to the fullest.

The chocolate ganache adds a rich and satisfying finish. It is a taste for adults who can enjoy a variety of flavors and textures.

Gâteau Fraise

Moist sponge with rich whipped cream. The price is 561 yen.


Looks like a standard shortcake. The sponge is soft, fine and sweet. The cream, which is not too sweet and has a richness that stands out, is a well-balanced combination. The sweet and sour juicy strawberries add a gorgeous accent.


The sponge, which is neither too light nor too moist, is impressive. It enhances the mildness of the cream and the freshness of the strawberries.


In addition to the above two items, the bakery also offers colorful fresh cakes, baked goods that make great gifts, croissants, baguettes, and other bakery items. So, if you have a sweet tooth, be sure to stop by!
