Azuma Pâtisserie

Lately I have been craving for the light and delectable Japanese cakes, and found my solace in Azuma Pâtisserie. Not quite the first-rate level as compared to the desserts in Japan, nevertheless I gladly settled with Azuma Pâtisserie. Azuma Pâtisserie offers a delightful array of Japanese desserts and sweets. It also offers Japanese teas, coffees and their house specialty Iced Green Tea Cappuccino and Green Tea Frozen Yogurt. The Green Tea Frozen Yogurt is the perfect treat for a light afternoon snack. It is light and not too milky, but as a green tea lover I prefer it to have a more intense green tea flavour.

Azuma Pâtisserie is owned by Kimitaka Azuma, who owns the famous award winning Chefs Hat restaurant Azuma at Chifley Plaza. He also owns Azuma Kushiyaki and Ton Ton which are located on the same premise as Azuma Pâtisserie at Regent Place, George St.

Occasionally, when I am served with a cake full of cream I will remove the cream to the side and only eat the cake. But it's a different story altogether with the cream on top of the Green Tea Rolled Cake! The cream is full of green tea flavour, light and definitely not one to be discard. The fluffy sponge has a mild green tea taste and the chestnut adds a textural contrast. 

Strawberry Layer

The Strawberry Layer was a far cry to the ones I had in Japan. The sponge is not as feather-light and overall it is lacking the strawberry flavour. Nonetheless, I enjoy the thin layer of cream and only wish that they put more fresh strawberries.
