Chiboust Luire
Smooth cheese flan and silky strawberry sauce are wrapped in airy chiboust cream. A fragrant pistachio base adds an accent to the flavors. The presentation resembles strawberries spilling from a jewel box, creating a charming visual alongside the vivid contrast of ingredients.
Gâteau Printemps
A macaron cake inspired by spring. Vanilla ganache-filled macarons sandwich fresh strawberries. Inside, layers of strawberry confit and rose jelly are complemented by strawberry yogurt mousse.
Enjoy the harmony of spring's sweet-tart flavors and the delicate texture of macarons.
Ligne de Citron et Thé
Honey lemon mousse conceals a tangy lemon cream inside. Alongside the mousse sits lightly torched Italian meringue. Lemon tea ice cream provides gentle sweetness, while the cake delivers a crisp acidity that creates a pleasant aftertaste.
Perle Rosée Sakura
A pale, shimmering candy sphere holds house-made gelato made with cherry blossom bean paste, alongside raspberry and mascarpone mousse. Chewy cherry blossom mochi and a dacquoise base provide delightful textural variations.
Lychee jelly and cherry blossom chocolate add elegant decoration. Enjoy this ephemeral moment enveloped in cherry blossom fragrance, gentle as morning dew.
