I bought a tart made with rare Spanish fresh figs today. There were various types such as white fig tart, violet fig tart, and peach melba fig tart. They were all crispy and delicious, especially the peach melba dessert. The marinated peaches tasted fresh and the balance of sweetness was perfect. The light mousse had a good texture and the overall taste was addictive. The restaurant had a stylish interior with European antique furniture. Thank you for the delicious meal! ✨

A famous shop in Kyoto that closed down and was missed by many has now been reopened by one of its apprentices. They offer about 5 different types of cakes, and this time I tried their classic strawberry shortcake. The shop only offers takeout, but if you want to enjoy your cake with a drink, you can take it to "TONTON" just a few meters north and order a drink there. I took my cake to go and headed to "TONTON". It had been a while since I had a shortcake with fresh cream, and this one had a fluffy sponge and sweet cream. It was a delicious and simple shortcake. Thank you for the meal!

I visited the restaurant around 12:30 on Sunday afternoon. - Black fig shortcake for 550 yen The sponge cake was quite sweet, but the whipped cream had a nice level of sweetness. The fig was juicy and delicious, although the skin left a slight residue in the mouth. Overall, it was enjoyable.

I followed a cake shop on Instagram, and they recommended their financiers that will be featured in a magazine. I decided to purchase some freshly baked ones. The mini choux cream was a perfect size, slightly smaller than the regular size. I hesitated between getting the regular size and the mini size, but I chose the mini size for a taste test. The financiers were not fluffy but rather crispy and firm, with a strong sweetness. They would be best enjoyed with coffee or something similar. Thank you for the delicious meal!

After finishing the PanWEST Hyakumeiten tour in Kyoto, my wife and I decided to take a break. I remembered a nice-looking shop on the way to the bakery tour. It was my first visit to Patisserie Les Moineaux. The address of Patisserie Les Moineaux is 208-5 Kamimyokakuji-cho, Oike-dori, Imaegurinishi, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto, a 5-minute walk from Kyoto Municipal Subway "Karasuma Oike" station. We arrived at the shop at 4 pm. Just as the staff was seeing off customers, I asked if we could eat in, and they said they only offer takeout but nearby two other shops (cafe & bar TANTON, Sumiyoshi) allow eating in with an order of one drink (from 6/2). There is an explanation at the entrance curtain. The current business days are Wednesday to Saturday, from 12 pm to 6 pm (closing time may vary depending on sold-out items). We disinfect both hands with alcohol at the entrance and enter the shop. After getting permission from the staff to take photos inside, I ordered "Gâteau Frais" and "Forêt Noire" for my wife. When I mentioned that we wanted to eat in, they provided us with a map showing the locations of the two neighboring shops. After paying, I thanked the staff at Patisserie Les Moineaux and left the shop. We then moved to cafe & bar TANTON. We disinfect both hands with alcohol at the entrance before entering the shop. After getting permission from the owner to take photos inside, we sat at a table in the back. I ordered two iced coffees for us. They lent us plates for the cakes. The Gâteau Frais was for my wife. It was delicious, with a moist sponge, strawberries, and cream that melted in the mouth. The Forêt Noire, a seasonal limited edition starting from June 8, was rich with American cherries, light chocolate mousse, cream, berry sauce, and Kirsch-soaked biscuit. It offered a satisfying taste experience with changing flavors as we ate through it. After finishing the cakes, I thanked the owner and said we would come back again.

I went to the store in the early afternoon on Sunday, May 15, 2022, but there were no customers inside. Today, I bought pudding and cream puffs. I wanted to eat something custard-based... When I bought them and came back, I made coffee and enjoyed them. But when I looked closely, the cream puff was really big! I cut it in half with scissors and enjoyed it. It was fragrant and delicious. The pudding was also lightly made and not bad. The restaurant's rating has improved since the last time I ate there.

Wednesday 12:20 I went to Patisserie Le Moineau. The sudden transition from spring to summer has left my mind feeling a bit sluggish. There was only one customer ahead of me in the small shop, which seems to have a limit of two customers at a time. The display case was filled with refreshing puddings in cute cups, cream-filled pastries, and fresh cakes. Among them, a particularly vibrant cake adorned with edible flowers caught my eye, and I decided to try a slice of the fresh fruit tart. I chose the Fruit Tart for 690 yen. The colorful appearance of the cake was very eye-catching and elegant. I was pleased that the cake was fruit-focused rather than cream-based. Although it had slightly softened from being out for a while, it was still delicious and enjoyable. My family also enjoyed it. It's not a place I visit often due to its location, but I will definitely come back again. Thank you for the wonderful treat.

On a holiday afternoon around 12:30, I bought a strawberry and pistachio tart for 690 yen (tax included), a mini choux au noix for 290 yen (tax included), and an eclair for 460 yen (tax included). I had come to buy the eclair as requested, but there was only one left, so I also got the mini choux and the tart I wanted. The strawberry and pistachio tart had a crispy crust, plenty of small strawberries that were juicy and not too sweet, and a cream that was just right in sweetness. The eclair had a strong coffee aroma but wasn't overpowering, and it was delicious. The choux au noix was also tasty. I would like to try other cakes from this place in the future.

Chocolate tart for 637 yen. Strawberry and pistachio tart for 658 yen. Red fruit blancmange for 432 yen. There aren't many options, but there are still some room temperature items and baked goods available. Baked goods seem to be their specialty. The cakes are extremely simple and rustic.

I want to revisit because Blancmange was so delicious last time! This time, I purchased the following four items: 1) Blood Orange Tart 2) Strawberry Blancmange 3) Strawberry Chiboust 4) Cheese Tart. The Blood Orange Tart had a nice bitterness from the orange peel. The Strawberry Chiboust had a good match between the smooth cream and the firm pie crust, with a balanced sweetness and a hint of strawberry acidity.

I purchased the following 4 items this time: Strawberry and Pistachio Tart, Strawberry Blancmange, Strawberry Shortcake, and Cream Puff. Among them, the Strawberry Blancmange was really good with its smooth texture and just the right amount of sweetness, complemented by the acidity and sweetness of the strawberries.

I happened to pass by a cake shop and decided to go in to buy some cream puffs. As I was looking at the showcase, I saw some delicious-looking custard pudding. I was also tempted by the strawberry shortcake next to it. I was struggling to decide when I noticed a mouth-watering cheese tart. I ended up choosing the cheese tart. When I brought it home and tasted it, I was pleasantly surprised. It was incredibly delicious. Now I can't wait to try the cream puffs, custard pudding, and shortcake next time.

I purchased the following items: ① Peach Melba ② Hojicha Cream Brulee ③ Tart au Fromage ④ White Fig Tart ⑤ Gateau Frais ⑥ Madeleine ⑦ Golden Financier. The Peach Melba had a smooth texture and was very delicious. However, the small opening of the container made it a bit difficult to eat the fruits inside. The Hojicha Cream Brulee reminded me of creme brulee and had a nostalgic taste. The Gateau Frais had a good amount of whipped cream and was very tasty. Overall, everything was delicious.

I visited around 17:45 on a regular day. There were no other customers. I had the Gâteau Frais for 648 yen. This was not my first time ordering it, I love the perfect firmness of the dough. It looks gorgeous with its yellow color and tall height. The cream and strawberries are delicious too. Even though there are other cakes available, I keep coming back to this one regularly.

I visited around 17:30 on a regular day. There were 3 customers already there. I tried the Forenoir for 669 yen. It didn't have much of a cherry liqueur taste. The deliciousness of the chocolate mousse on top combined well with the acidity of the dark cherry sauce on the bottom. They use glass containers that can be reused as cups.

A very lovely patisserie has opened by a talented individual from Le Cordon Bleu. I tried the beautifully crafted hojicha crème brûlée and choux cream, and they were amazing. This patisserie is definitely going to be one of my favorites!

The store near Gojo Station, pâtisserie Les Moineaux, renovated from a traditional Kyoto townhouse, has a unique and stylish taste! The cakes may look ordinary, but the taste is exceptional! I also tried their baked sweets, and it's clear why they have many fans!

I visited the shop around 12:30 on Saturday. There were no other customers. I bought a Madeleine for 200 yen. The Madeleine was freshly baked and just about to be displayed in the shop, with a hint of lemon scent. It was warm and had a simple, delicious taste. Personally, I prefer it a bit warmer, so I heated it up a little in the toaster.

I visited the restaurant around 13:40 on Saturday. There were no other customers when I arrived, but someone came in right after me. I tried the Financier for 240 yen, the Dacquoise for 260 yen, and the Choumouano for 360 yen. They all had a straightforward and delicious taste. The Financier was on the well-baked side, but I prefer it a bit softer. I was curious if Dacquoise is the same as Duckwaz, so I looked it up and found out that Duckwaz is Japanese-born, while Dacquoise is something from France.
