The store is Tokyu Hands Ikebukuro store. It seems that it is being sold in collaboration with Patisserie Swallowtail ahead of the creators market "Cat Alley IKEBUKURO 2016" that will be held at the same store from March 31st.
Except for the showcase installed in front of the entrance on the 1st floor, cats, cats, cats, neko ... cute cat cakes are lined up.
There are 6 types of lineup: Kuro, Mike, Russian Blue, Bengal, Scottish Fold, and Abyssinian (500 yen each, tax included, same below). In addition, two colors of cookies shaped like paws (Nikukyu = 299 yen) are available.
Everything seems to be made with attention to detail. For example, Mike has different colors for the left and right ears, and Bengal also reproduces the characteristic spots on the body. Russian Blue is a grayish blue like Russian Blue itself, and each has its own individuality.
In addition, next to the cat cakes, cakes of the popular character "Cat Dayan" were lined up. The product name is "Cat Dayan vol.1" (750 yen). This is a collaboration with the ongoing "Cat Dayan Fair". There was also a macaron.
The En-eating editorial department takes home Dayan and Scottish Fold! Even if you take a closer look in a bright place, there is no gap of 1 mm.
First of all, Dayan. The brown chocolate mousse is shaped up to the front legs. Dayan stares at us with his big eyes. If you look closely, it may be the forest of "Wachifield", surrounded by green cream and pistachios. How fine ...!
Inside is a cocoa-colored sponge and a refreshing orange cream. The sweetness and sourness, the smooth mousse and the sponge, and the contrast between the taste and texture make you never get tired of eating. I wonder if it tastes like women.
On the other hand, the Scottish Fold, whose ears are properly reproduced, is based on white chocolate mousse. The gray crush that expressed the coat was coconut. What was the beard?
The chocolate cream inside was quite sweet. It also has a bitter side.
I thought it was a little expensive, but I have no complaints about the quality of this product. Rather, it even feels affordable. Thank you to all the staff who will be busy making cats every day, and for the wonderful cakes!
By the way, if you bring one Dayan home, you will get one coaster as a purchase privilege. It's thick and sturdy enough to buy for a few hundred yen. This is too profitable !!
The cat cake, which is so cute that you will want to buy up everything, will be on sale until April 22nd, just like the event. How about "one cat per person" as a souvenir or as a gift?
