Crazy Cream Puffs from Japan
2008 June 11
A new bakery in Tokyo has started selling Totoro Cream Puff, based on the lovely character of Totoro, in the movie “My friend Totoro”. Totoro is a friendly forest spirit which is weird combination of a cat and an owl.
The new bakery calls itself Shirohige no shou cream kobo, which is translated into White-bearded’ cream puff workshop. Don’t miss out the beautiful bakery website.
The bakery is a huge success, and all of 100 puffs made for each day are gone in 10 minutes from opening. Custard and raw cream puffs are sold for $3.60 (390 yen), maron and maron cream puffs are sold for $3.90 (420 yen). All of the ingredients are carefully chosen, and some of them are organic or imported.
