POKOTABI / PLACES WORTH A DETOUR
Clair de lune
From crisp-edged, chewy canelés with a pronounced liqueur flavour to apple pie with a hint of chilli, Clair de lune’s sweets are also available to take away.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
Visitors who come for the canelés mention their crisp outer shell and chewy centre. The liqueur flavour is also noticeable, making these a baked treat to savour slowly.
The apple pie is another tempting choice. The menu describes it as homemade apple compote with a little chilli to add depth—a sweet apple dessert with an unexpected twist.
Among the fresh cakes are one combining mandarin jelly and mousse with vanilla cream, and Cerisier de Fée (Fairy of the Cherry Blossom), layered with lychee and cherry-blossom jelly, strawberry mousse and pistachio dacquoise. Choosing between a fruit-led cake and one that brings together fragrant flavours and textures is part of the pleasure.
Clair de lune in Kotobuki also offers takeaway. It is listed as open every day from 9:00 to 21:00, making it an option for picking up sweets later in the day.
