Lady M Cakes — I love how the shelf has layers similar to a millecrêpe
It is funny (and honestly kind of scary) how quickly time seems to be passing me by. It’s somehow already been a month since my last post. I have gone back to Kinokuniya 3 or 4 times already–it’s something of a weekly pilgrimage for us now. There is also the most lovely cake boutique nearby there called Lady M, so after shopping I usually grab a slice or two to take home. They offer a variety of cakes, but their Signature Millecrêpe is far and away the best. I find that it is the perfect balance of feeling decadent while still not overly sweet.
Mini Wow-Tart from Keki
On the topic of sweets, I’ve had so many good ones recently. Cream puffs from Beard Papa’s, mango juice with sago at Mango Mango, black sesame shaved-snow with mochi and strawberries in Koreatown, and most recently, the cheese-filled “Wow Tart” from Kēki in Chinatown. Next on my list is Uncle Tetsu’s cheesecake, which looks unbelievably fluffy and soft. Ha…I’ve really made myself hungry writing this 
Besides all of that, I don’t have much of interest to report. I tried going to Japan Fes a few weeks ago, but it was far too crowded (I can withstand a good queue now and then, but 90 minutes for takoyaki is pushing it). It was so bad that all of the lines were wrapped around each other, and we couldn’t tell which line was for what..so we just left. They are supposed to be hosting another one this month at a larger venue, so hopefully that will work out better. If I manage to go to that one, I will post pictures here.
I’m still salivating after reminiscing about sweets, so I’m going to go get myself a snack. Bye for now~
Elise looks so adorable with that Wow-Tart! Also, all this talk of sweets is honestly so tempting. I’ve been intending to find a new dessert haven for myself around my current home, but I haven’t really put much effort in. Maybe soon….
I’m glad to hear that you’re having fun excursions so regularly! It’s always a good thing to have lots of fun in life, and making sure to make good memories is so important. Plus, it sounds like these trips are frequent enough (i think you said weekly?) to add something to look forward to every week! 🙂
Have a great day!
Your friend,
Luna
I agree so, so much about the importance of making good memories. The COVID pandemic really made me realize that I was taking a lot of life for granted, so I have put in a lot more effort into going out and try different things.
As always, thank you for leaving such nice comments on my posts, and I hope you get to eat some yummy sweets soon ^_^
