Baked by @chefyamashita exclusively for the Tochigo Prefecture event at @japanrailcafe (1-3 Dec), this dessert was my ultimate bias among all! 💖 Laying atop a crisp, fragrant almond tart lies sweet, juicy strawberries, blueberries and smooth, light and fluffy whipped cream. Not only was it photogenic but the taste was just as great with the almond tart carrying off a lingering buttery fragrance and having a tart shell that came with an ideal crisp perfection ❤️. The portion was just nice for one, without being too overwhelming for the palate and the slight acidic notes from the berries provided a tangy dimension to alleviate the sweetness. The whipped cream was also cotton-like and smooth, with a melt-in-the mouth texture. And the main highlight- Tochigo strawberries air flown from Japan that was really juicy, fresh with a slight lingering tanginess amidst the natural fruity sweetness. Sincerely hoping that @chefyamashita would consider having this as a permanent item in their menu hehe! XD
