Our Adventures in Japan: dominique saibron

dominique saibron

We recently tried some items from Dominique Saibron. His main shop is in Paris and he also has several shops in Tokyo, and this is the first one in Kansai.

Satoshi and I shared the following items for breakfast the other day....Escargot (Pistache), what Americans would call a "snail".

This one was a puff pastry style danish filled with pistachios...I love how even though we ate it a day later there was still a nice sheen to it.

Pied noir chocolat...a soft milk bread filled with mini chocolate chips.

I like that the amount of chocolate wasn't skimped on.

Pain au chocolat...this had just the right amount of chocolate and the pastry was flaky.

All very good.

He also has some chilled items like macaron and flan (what the Japanese call pudding).

And there is also a cafe area but I'll wait until the crowd dies down to check it out.

Nami | Just One Cookbook said...: Did you like them? Looks so delicious. I miss bread stores in Japan. Pretty good quality everywhere (I won't say all). Here... there is no good bakery unless we drive a few miles. I wish there is a good bakery in walking distance.; 3:51 AM, May 18, 2011
K and S said...: so true K, I hate it when there is not enough chocolate in there.

Rowena said...: escargot! Too cute...it's like how they say lumachine (snails) or girelle (swivels) for cinnamon roll-type pastries in italy.; 10:23 PM, May 19, 2011
