BAKE CHEESE TART will be baking up another fresh flavour which will be released in BAKE CHEESE TART shops across the country from November 15. The new featured flavour is of a Japanese Satsuma sourced from Shizuoka prefecture called Mikka Mikan. The brand new Mikan Cheese Tart will be sold at BAKE CHEESE TART shops countrywide.
The Mikka Mikan Satsumas used for the cheese tart are sourced from Shizuoka, which is renowned for its deep history of producing Mikka Mikans, which are a kind of Satsuma Mandarin (Unshu Mikan). The Mikka Mikans are used to make a purée and powder which is then mixed with an original recipe cheese mousse for the tart. This flavour first arrived at BAKE CHEESE TART's PARCHÉ branch in Shizuoka to celebrate its grand opening back in November 2018. The tart was intended to be a delicacy limited to the Shizuoka branch and to only be sold for a limited time. However, following its immense popularity, the Mikka Mikan Cheese Tart is going to be released again this winter for a limited time. The mild and fresh cheese mousse is perfectly balanced with the tangy sweetness of the Mikka Mikans. The subtle sweetness of the biscuit base makes for the perfect match with the soft cheese mousse which will melt in your mouth. BAKE CHEESE TART is also running an Instagram campaign involving the hashtag #おすそわけタルト. Those who purchase the Mikan Cheese Tart and post a photo of it on Instagram during the limited time period have the chance to enter a prize draw for a BAKE CHEESE TART coupon. Warm up your heart with a soft and sweet, freshly-baked cheese tart and join in the campaign fun. Information

Every year choux pastry shop CROQUANTCHOU ZAKUZAKU sells 2 million of their unique, crunchy and creamy choux pastries. This Halloween, these white angelic sticks of heaven have been possessed by the Halloween spirit and will be sold from October 1 - 31. The devilishly delicious Black Zaku and Black Zaku Soft Serve Ice Cream were overwhelmingly popular when they were first sighted last year. Now they are being revived again for the Halloween season and will be haunting practically all CROQUANTCHOU ZAKUZAKU branches across Japan.
Black cocoa powder is infused into the crunchy choux pastry. The empty shell is then filled with a molten custard core which is made using Hokkaido milk and purple sweet potato paste. Once you take your first crunchy bite, you will be completely possessed by the Halloween spirit. This Halloween, the original pure white ice cream has been inverted. From the ice cream to the wafer cone, the Black Zaku Soft Serve is completely black. The ice cream is incredibly soft and creamy and full of flavour. The black colour comes from white chocolate dyed with bamboo charcoal. This chilling ice cream is only around for the Halloween season and tastes wicked! There is more than just Halloween treats at the shop. The regular Croquant Chou Zaku Zaku and regular Zaku Zaku Soft® are also being served. Head to a store with an adjoining kitchen to sink your teeth into freshly made delicious treats. There is no better trick to treating yourself this Halloween than to indulge in a beautiful, black, crunchy and creamy sweet treat! Information

Cream puff extraordinaire chain Croquant Chou Zakuzaku has unveiled two new crunchy chocolate delights that will be available from January 14 to February 14: the Choco Zaku and the Choco Soft.
The Choco Zaku has a crunchy exterior made from an almond crunch base and is filled with chocolate flavoured custard cream made with milk from Hokkaido. The entire puff is drizzled with chocolate sauce and topped with chocolate flakes. The crispiness of the hardened chocolate sauce and flakes add an additional crunchy layer to the outside. This means you get three different chocolate experiences from the cream, sauce and flakes. The Choco Soft is made with rich soft serve ice cream that tastes almost frozen and has been dipped in chocolate sauce. It is crowned with chocolate flakes and croquant, allowing for a deliciously cool harmony between the crunchy texture and the milk in the ice cream. As well as these seasonal options the stores will continue to serve their regular cream puffs and ice cream all made fresh. Information
Choco Zaku & Choco Soft
