Las Vegas Japanese Dessert Shop β So Delicious! π
When I told the chef this was my favorite dessert spot of the year and that Iβm from New York, she asked me β "Do you know Chikalicious?" I said, βThatβs been my top dessert place in NYC for the past eight years!β She smiled and replied, βOur owner is friends with Chika, and this place is inspired by Chikalicious.β No wonder β the moment I walked in, I thought, This feels just like Chikalicious!ππ Being a friend of Chikaβs truly shows β flavor and beauty in perfect harmony! ππππ Blueberry Champagne Sorbet A beautiful blue champagne jelly topped with a little flower β so pretty!ππ The champagne flavor is subtle but balances the tangy blueberry sauce perfectly. The blueberry sauce is a tad tart, but overall delightful. πππππ Chocolate Cream Puff Soft, flaky shell with rich chocolate cream inside β a flawless match! πππππ Matcha Sesame Sponge Cake My favorite of the year π Looks absolutely stunning, but tastes even better than it looks! Matcha cream over fluffy sponge cake with a light layer of black sesame paste. Garnished with strawberries, chestnuts, red bean paste, matcha powder, and white sesame seeds. So many layers β every bite made me smile! π¬ πππππ Mango Cup Like an elevated mango pomelo sago β prettier and more refined, not too sweet. Contains mango sorbet, fresh mango chunks, and mango purΓ©e, paired with cream and pudding. Oh my goodness β so good! I also had my eye on the peach crΓ¨me brΓ»lΓ©e, but I was too full β saving it for next time! πΈ I ordered the dessert set, which lets you pick two desserts. πΈ They also offer a savory & dessert set with sandwiches and other savory bites. πΈ Prices are very reasonable β about half the cost of similar dessert bars in NYC! Comparing to Chikalicious β I love them both π π Chika uses simpler ingredients, focusing on perfecting each element. Plating emphasizes color harmony with the dish pattern. π§‘ Raku uses more layered ingredients, blending diverse flavors beautifully. Plates are white, letting the dessertβs own beauty shine. βοΈ Name: Sweets Raku βοΈ Address: 5040 Spring Mountain Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89146 #DessertDiary #LasVegasEats #JapaneseDesserts #SweetToothHeaven #FoodieFinds
