[Tokyo] Followers of Totoro– the cherished personality from the Workshop Ghibli motion picture ‘My Neighbor Totoro’, will certainly not wish to offer this a miss out on.
PSA: Ghibli Park has actually just recently opened up in the Aichi prefecture of Japan last month, offering abroad followers a lot more factors to check out Japan.
Shirohige’s Lotion Smoke Manufacturing facility is snuggled in the suburb of Setagaya-Daita, ideal beside Shimokitazawa which is understood for their pre-owned vintage apparel shops, book shops, songs stores, indie cafés and also bars.
The double-storey structure included both pastry shop: Shirohige’s Lotion Smoke Manufacturing facility on the initial flooring for takeaways and also Totoro coffee shop & & Bakeshop on the 2nd flooring for dine-in.
If you ever before see a lengthy line outside, this is the line for eating in upstairs whereas consumers seeking for takeaway can simply go into the entry to the initial flooring.
Opened up by the sister-in-law of renowned Workshop Ghibli founder/director, Hayao Miyazaki, Shirohige’s Lotion Smoke Manufacturing facility is really the only pastry shop worldwide with main consent from Workshop Ghibli to make confections in the form of Totoro.
I will extremely advise to go there early as the Totoro lotion smokes are just made daily in the early morning and also flavours do go out rather swiftly in the mid-day.
A total amount of 9 flavours are offered on their food selection, each distinctly distinguished by the bow, blossom or fallen leave hat on each Totoro.
Regrettably, the majority of the flavours are just made on specific months of the years, so it’s not feasible to attempt every one of them in a solitary browse through.
The just one that are offered all year about are the Custard Lotion (JPY 460, SGD4.60)– provided by an eco-friendly fallen leave and also Delicious chocolate (JPY 460, SGD4.60)– stood for by a blue bow hat.
Various other seasonal flavours consist of Strawberry (January to June), Sugar Banana (January to March), Matcha (April to June), Peach (July to September), Mango (July to September), Chestnut (October to December) and also Raspberry and also Lotion Cheese (October to December).
Each of them have to do with palm-sized, kindly piped with lotion within the choux smoke bread.
Made from Japanese wheat flour, the choux smoke is ventilated and also rather light, as opposed to the creamy smooth lotion inside.
I had their traditional Custard Lotion (JPY 460, SGD4.60), made from genuine vanilla beans and also fresh whipped lotion.
The custard was remarkably rather revitalizing and also smooth in appearance, fortunately without being extremely pleasant.
My favourite is the seasonal Raspberry and also Lotion Cheese (JPY 500, SGD5) that is just offered from October to December.
Kindly piped with raspberry puree which provides it a citrusy strike, well stabilized by the thicker and also richer lotion cheese.
Below at Shirohige’s Lotion Smoke Manufacturing facility, you will certainly have the ability to discover various other Totoro confectioneries such as Cookies (JPY 240, SGD2.40) and even present boxes as “omiyage” (keepsakes) which you can restore house.
