Well, it's never too late to make amends so immediately following our touch-down in Narita, I brought mom to one of my favorite dessert bars in town and there's really not many of them.
No, this is NOT a re-post from my last trip. I am visiting Pâtisserie Toshi Yoroizuka again but this time it was mom sitting right beside me. I told her I must have gotten my sweet tooth from her.
A small corn soup to start things off.....
My mom has never been an adventurous person to begin with so soon after I told her about Pâtisserie Toshi Yoroizuka's signature creation, Ukishima ("The Floating Island" - 1,350yen), she decided to go with the house specialty.
I have always enjoyed having the front row seats to the open kitchen here and it just added a whole new dimension to this dessert experience. Mom seemed to agree as well.
Chestnut cream, whipped cream and red bean paste topped by a scoop of toasted tea ice-cream and they finished by showering the whole thing with a silky smooth green tea sauce. Lovely.
I noticed that they have tinkered with the menu a little bit and removed a number of the older items. As the more adventurous of the two, I decided to go with something new - Gratin aux Kakis (1,350yen).
This is kind of like a pudding with kaki (or Japanese persimmon 柿) and custard cream inside. Not a bad choice if you like persimmon.
We still got time to stroll around Roppongi before dinner at Restaurant Ryuzu (飯塚隆太).
