Do you know the sweet "Tropezenne" that originated in Saint-Tropez, a resort area in southern France? A type of cream bun with orange-flavored custard cream sandwiched in brioche bread, which is a standard product in French bakeries.

Bakery "Brioche Dore"

Tropezenne, which is rarely seen in Japan, was released today from the bakery "Brioche Dore" on November 9th. The price is 350 yen (tax included).

Tropezenne

It looks cute and round with a colon. The upper surface is sprinkled with hail sugar and powdered sugar. In France, it seems that there are many cases where the cake is made large and flat and cut like a whole cake for sale.

This one is for one person, and the size is about the size of a large cream puff. When you put it on your hand, you can feel the weight of the cream sandwiched between them.


When you bite, the first thing you will encounter is the "hail sugar" on the top. Unlike the rough texture, it has a crispy and light texture just like hail.


Next is a soft and fluffy brioche. It is fine and melts in the mouth, and has a rich buttery taste.


And smooth custard. It melts and spreads soaked into brioche, filling the mouth with the rich flavor of eggs and the gorgeous orange scent.

The orange scent is due to the "orange flower water" mixed in the custard and the orange syrup applied to the cross section of the brioche. Orange flower water is unfamiliar to you, but it seems to be an essence often used to flavor sweets in France.

It has a rich taste and a refreshing orange flavor with a refreshing aftertaste. The custard is not too sweet and can be used not only as a snack but also for breakfast. Enjoy with coffee or tea.


By the way, Tropezenne means "daughter of Saint-Tropez" in French. The godfather is said to be the actress Brigitte Bardot, who visited his place for a movie shoot and liked the candy.

Tropezenne has an episode that is cute in appearance and has an outstanding taste that captures the hearts of girls. It will be a great souvenir for the girls' association.
