A first in Japan! Visiting [Milk], the fresh cream specialty shop

Have you ever come across a fresh cream specialty shop? [Milk] is a fresh cream specialty shop that became quite the hot topic in Japan a while back.

Today I will introduce some confectionery from [Milk] that focuses on fresh cream, which is usually a side ingredient.

3 Principles of deliciousness

At [Milk] 3 principles are adhered to, to ensure the creation of delicious cream confectionery. First, the cows used to produce the cream are raised freely on wide open pastures. Second, cream of different fat content are mixed together to create the golden ratio. Third, air is incorporated into the cream to make it smooth.

Choux Cream Pastry

First, I would like to introduce the (Choux Cream Pastry) from [Milk].

The cream pastry is 350 yen (Tax Incl.), a piece.
The sweet and fragrant aroma of the pastry is bound to arouse your appetite. Also, it has a flaky texture but when you bite into it, it is sufficiently moist. On the other hand, the fresh cream is light, yet has a rich sweetness to it. As expected of a cream specialty shop, the cream pastry has the perfect amount of lightness and sweetness; the pastry is not overly sweet, making it easy to eat. If you buy one, I recommend eating it on the spot to ensure that you get to enjoy its fresh and delicious taste to the fullest.

Most Popular [Fluffy and soft milky cream chiffon cake]

Next, I would like to introduce the top item, the [Fluffy and soft milky cream chiffon cake].

The cake is 600 yen (Tax Incl.) for one.
There are spoons for the chiffon cake near the pick-up counter. I could not wait any longer to try the chiffon cake, so I sliced into the cake with my spoon. Doing so, the whole cake sank a little, showing just how fluffy it was.

Different from the cream pastry, the chiffon cake has mildly sweet fresh cream which has a stronger milk taste. Both items have their good points so it is difficult to decided which is better; both at equally delicious in my opinion. The chiffon cake has also has plenty of cream so I am sure it will satisfy any cream craving.

As seen in the picture, the chiffon cake is below, with the fresh cream sitting on top of it. The robust sweetness of the chiffon cake compliments well with the mild sweetness of the fresh cream. In addition, the chiffon cake is nice and moist, and almost feels like it melts in your mouth.

The place I visited this time was…

This time I visited the shop at Lumine in Tachikawa, Tokyo.

As shown in the picture, there is a cute cow figure, at the front of the brightly colored store, welcoming customers. Take note that there are other stores at Lumine in Shinjuku, in Harajuku, at Marui in Shibuya and at Namba CITY in Osaka. So if you are nearby, drop by the store and try some of their amazing confectionery.
