wittamer


Yesterday I had a dentist appointment. Since I was in Umeda and since Satoshi had a drinking get-together and didn't need dinner, I decided to buy my lunch, dinner and a little dessert.

The little dessert were macarons by Wittamer. Wittamer is a Belgian confectionery who happens to have a counter at the Hanshin Department store. :)

I was never into macarons before moving to Japan, but now that I have tried several "brands", I think I may be hooked!

From the top, counter clockwise, brown (chocolate with a dark chocolate ganache), pink (raspberry ganache), yellow (mango ganache), light green with red specks (pistachio with strawberry ganache), in the center, beige with brown specks (hazelnut ganache) and another chocolate one. These were very delicious and good sized too.

Luckily, I came home when I did too, the afternoon brought over 100mm/hr of rain, along with lightning and thunder--shaking our apartment at times! Scary!

  3. Oh, so perfect and so round! I'm kind of glad I can't buy them in Melbourne - otherwise I'd never stop eating them!

  6. Hey Kat! The Hazelnut one sounds good. I'm fine getting ready to travel to Boston. Have you been there? If so any restaurant suggestions? Praying for a safe journey. Hope it's not too muggy over there. Take Care!
