On Christmas Eve, I went to a nearby Aeon where a cake shop tenant was selling Christmas cakes. They were only selling whole Christmas cakes on the day, no shortcakes. I left it to my partner this year, but they said they hadn't made a reservation on the day. I didn't want to go to Tomita because it would definitely be crowded. So I decided to go to Aeon, where the sales area was crowded and all the cakes were around 4000 yen. My partner said they wanted a Noel cake, which is chocolate-based, so I decided to get one. Let's make some fried chicken for dinner and have frozen pizza. Merry Christmas! It turned out to be a better night than I expected. Thank you for the meal.

One of my favorite seasonal limited edition items is the "Peach Fragrance" from Cake House An Ito in every year I always look forward to this. They hollow out the peach seeds and fill it with custard cream ❤️ The base is a crispy tart. The peach is delicious on its own, but it's even more delicious in this cake ❤️ Very satisfying!

I pre-ordered a Mont Blanc size 4 for takeout and it was delicious! The tart crust, Mont Blanc cream, and candied chestnuts were all tasty. The cream had a perfect balance of sweetness and chestnut flavor. I'm not usually a fan of Mont Blanc, but I ordered it because my partner loves it. Surprisingly, even though I was full after my meal, I found the Mont Blanc to be very delicious! I will definitely buy it again.

I made a pre-order and purchased a 4-inch Swan Decoration Cake for takeout! I thought the swan cream puffs were just decorations, but they actually had custard cream and whipped cream inside. It was a delicious cake where you could enjoy both fruit cream cake and cream puff at the same time.

The peach cake on Instagram, with so many peaches, is truly mesmerizing when you see it in the showcase. The glossy and juicy tart with a big peach on top... it's irresistible. Most people would lose their self-control and end up buying it. The taste was just as expected, with the natural sweetness of the peach balancing well with the tart base. The watermelon jelly, on the other hand, might be left uneaten if the kids don't like it. Thank you for the meal. I wonder if peach season is already over this year.

From May 29th to June 8th, I had to work for 11 days in a row, with no time for eating out. After the 11-day stretch, I now face the heavy self-restraint on going out for the rest of June. A follower on Instagram posted a lovely photo of melon balls and cake from House An, which is operating as a dream season in Kitakyushu. The store is located in Asakawa, Yawata Nishi-ku, famous for its Asakawa choux, a popular souvenir from Kitakyushu. Even after moving to Fukuoka, I used to go all the way to Kitakyushu to buy the beloved Asakawa choux, but there is a branch in Kashii as well. However, it's too late now. The Atago choux from Sugar Bear in Niihama, near my house, is tastier than the Asakawa choux. That's House An for you. The store has expanded without me noticing, and now it has branches all over Fukuoka Prefecture. I was planning to go to Kashii to buy melon balls, but then I realized there is one in Ion Itoshima. The melon balls at the Fukutsu store on Instagram had both red and green, but at Ion Itoshima, they only had either red or green. I was asked which one I wanted, and even though there were plenty of green ones left, there was only one red one, so I bought the red one. The melon was firm, not as soft and juicy as I like, but still sweet and delicious. Beneath the fruit were sponge cake and custard cream. As expected from House An, known for Asakawa choux, the custard cream was undeniably delicious. I headed to Atago Beach to take a photo with the cake and Fukuoka Tower in the background. Surprisingly, there were quite a few people there, all looking at me curiously as I placed the cake on the pier for a photo. It's true, not many people take pictures with cake on the waterfront.

On the first day of the consecutive holidays, I went to Aeon Mall Fukuoka Itoshima. It was my partner's birthday last week, so I went shopping for a present. The request was to replace the well-worn backpack. I chose a simple one from Muji. After going down to the first floor, we decided to have sushi for lunch. We bought some beer for a toast, and of course, we also got a cake. We went to a newly opened store behind the register. My partner got a chocolate cake, while I, who wasn't very interested in cakes, got a Piyoshi cake. As a bonus, my partner also bought a matcha opera cake. When we got home, we planned to enjoy the cakes right away, but after toasting with beer, switching to highballs, and getting into drinking, I suddenly realized it was already evening. I fell asleep after dinner and watching TV, without even having a chance to eat the cake. The next day, I apologized and finally tried the cake. I'm sorry, I can't describe the taste well. Inside the jelly, there was a fromage-like mousse with a cream that looked like egg yolk paste in the middle. Overall, it was sweet, but the citrus acidity balanced it out. I chose it for the novelty factor, so please forgive me if it's not the most delicious. I didn't properly celebrate my partner's birthday, so I'm sorry. Thank you for the meal.

I bought two types of Mont Blanc for Father's Day offerings. The chestnut one was sweet as it looked, while the matcha one had a slightly bitter taste in the matcha part only. It didn't have a special feeling, but it was a smooth Mont Blanc.
