I was near Umeda last night for an English lesson. Afterwards, I decided to roam around on the sweets floor of the Hankyu Department store. I came across these macarons by Angelina. The original store is in Paris. Located on the rue Rivoli, this tea salon was established over 100 years ago. The name, Angelina, comes from the owner, Antoine Rumpelmayer's wife.
The macarons were delicious! Here are the flavors: green = pistachio, yellow = mango, white = vanilla, pink = raspberry (framboise) & brown = chocolate w/chestnut (chocolat maron).In Japan, they are known for their mont blanc. I can't wait to try it!
Hope you are keeping cool and dry where you are!
those look so light and fluffy. i LOVE macarons but have never had them at angelina's. i didn't know they made them. angelina makes a wicked cup of hot chocolate though. (hard to think about now in this blazing heat!) they should sell a cold version of it.
ReplyDeletei posted a silly story about one of the last times i went to angelina not long ago. it's here fyi:
