Exterior: Crispy yet airy, with the buttery aroma of a croissant shining through. Filling: Sweet, velvety red bean paste paired with smooth, fragrant taro sauce—neither is overly sweet, and the combination is harmonious. Experience: Served warm, it’s crispy on the outside and soft inside, offering a fun contrast between hot and cold when enjoyed with a cold dessert. 🍨 Other Recommendations Signature Japanese Shaved Ice: Choose from classics like matcha, black sugar soybean flour, or hojicha, with customizable toppings and syrups.
