Sébastien Bouillet, a patisserie with locations in Lyon, France, and Japan, along with the bakery and confectionery shop Goûter's Gakugei-daigaku location, is rolling out limited-edition sweets to brighten up the Halloween season.
The lineup brings in autumn flavors like pumpkin, sweet potato, and cassis, dressed up with playful motifs such as ghosts, black cats, and jack-o'-lanterns. It's a selection well suited to tea time at home or as a Halloween gift.
From September 16 (Wed): Halloween Assortment at All Sébastien Bouillet Stores
A Halloween ghost-patterned, house-shaped box holds a set of three baked treats made with autumn ingredients like pumpkin and sweet potato.
The set includes three treats: the bear-shaped, moist "Nounours Potiron" pumpkin baked treat; the sweet-potato-flavored "Sablé Patate Douce," accented with a black cat; and the "Tigré Cassis," a tangy cassis batter topped with spider-web-patterned chocolate.
It lets you fully enjoy playful Halloween motifs alongside the flavors of autumn.

From October 2 (Fri): France's Goûter Treats Also Get a Halloween Look
A crisp, fragrantly baked pie crust wraps generously around a smooth pumpkin filling finished with a rich, Western-style butter flavor.
This jack-o'-lantern-shaped pumpkin pie fills the mouth with the pumpkin's natural sweetness and the pastry's rich flavor, its cute look adding to the appeal.
Halloween Pie

It goes on sale first at Goûter's Gakugei-daigaku store from October 2 (Fri), followed by Isetan Shinjuku from October 9 (Fri).
The dough, shaped like an adorable bear, is topped with pumpkin-flavored chocolate in vivid Halloween colors.
A rich chocolate dough, gently fragrant with cinnamon, is baked moist around a filling of rich chocolate ganache.
With every bite, the elegant spice of cinnamon layers with the chocolate ganache melting in the mouth for a deep, complex flavor.
It's a special treat available only this season, offering a fun contrast between its cute look and its serious, well-crafted flavor.
