Dalloyau Shinsaibashi (Osaka, JAPAN) ★★★☆☆

The roots of Paris-based Dalloyau goes back to 1682 when Charles Dalloyau first impressed Louis XIV with his creations. From that year on, the Dalloyau brothers started serving the royal court of Versaille Palace. Over the years, Dalloyau has slowly evolved into a prestigious French culinary brand associated with the royal heritage. Dalloyau boutiques can now be found in different corners of the world including right here in Osaka. 



Dalloyau is often credited with inventing (or re-inventing) the famous Opera cake. But other than the popular Opera, Paris-brest etc, the Osaka branch also offers a few Japanese influenced cakes which are not available in Paris.

This looks like a millefeuille but with thin slices of chocolate cake on top and bottom. It was very disappointing. Would rather have the regular millefeuille instead.



Marron Glacè - I haven't seen this one in Paris before. It tasted like a marriage between meringue and marshmallow with marron in the middle. Not bad.
