The popular store " Dominique Ansel Bakery " in New York, USA is about to land in Japan, and cronuts and, by extension, "hybrid sweets" are becoming more and more popular these days.

Meanwhile, cute hybrid sweets have also appeared from the gastronomic brand "FAUCHON" from Paris, France. " Tourbillon (chocolate) " and " croissant scone "!


Tourbillon (chocolate) is a hybrid sweets bread that combines brioche using two types of cocoa and croissants. It is baked with chocolate chips and almond cream.


When I tried it, I thought it was a refreshing croissant ... but when I went deeper into the layer, it turned into a soft and moist mouthfeel, and even melted chocolate chips appeared! Bitter cacao is entwined with the rich buttery scent. Because the dough is rolled up, the texture and taste go back and forth. What is this happy dungeon ...!


On the other hand, croissant scones are, as the name suggests, a hybrid of croissants and scones. The outside is fragrant and the inside is fluffy and moist. The dough is packed with butter-rich croissants and scones, so this one is perfect for eating. Enjoy with coffee or tea.


There are three flavors: vanilla, framboise, and chocolate.

The moment you put it in your mouth, vanilla spreads the romantic sweetness of vanilla beans and the aroma of butter. Delicious without any mistakes that you can recommend to people with confidence!



Franboise tastes much easier than you might have imagined from its vivid colors! When placed on the tongue, the gorgeous sweet and sour spreads softly, but the taste and aroma are not too strong, and when chewed, the gentle taste of wheat and the aroma of butter fill the mouth. Contrary to its slightly flashy (rude) appearance, it actually takes a step back and enhances the deliciousness of the scones. If this is a human girl, it will definitely be popular.



Chocolat has the most delicious and rich taste of the three. Chocolate chips are kneaded into the chocolate-flavored dough, giving it a great cacao feel. The texture of the thick chocolate chips that you often encounter in the soft and fluffy texture is also nice! It is a flavor for adults with a low sweetness that has a strong bitterness.



By the way, the one I liked the most this time was the croissant scone Franboise. Not only was I impressed by the deliciousness of the croissant and scone hybrid with the scent of Franboise, which I had never encountered before, but the gap between it and the gentle taste that I couldn't imagine from the color of the appearance made me "moe!" It depends.
