Spring Sweets
[Limited Time] [Henri Charpentier] Spring Gateau Cui Assort S — ¥1,944

This spring-limited assortment includes three seasonal baked goods: a strawberry financier made with the gently sweet "Jiro" strawberry from Hyogo Prefecture, a rich matcha financier using "Samidori" matcha, and a langue de chat (cherry blossom flavor) where both the cookie dough and cream carry the taste of sakura. The set is rounded out with the brand's best-selling financier and bite-sized "Petite Gateau" in eight flavors. The packaging, adorned with cherry blossoms and strawberries, adds to the seasonal feel. Available until late April.
