Tokyo

A city of contrasts—where neon-lit streets pulse with energy and quiet shrines offer a moment of stillness. Sip matcha in a hidden chaya, uncover tucked-away ramen joints with cult followings, and browse curated vintage in back-alley boutiques. Tokyo unfolds for those who embrace the unexpected—wander, explore, and let the city surprise you.

These cream puffs are bursting with flavor—rich yet perfectly balanced, with a lightly caramelized shell. And the mini canelé? Crisp on the outside, decadently moist on the inside. All tucked away in a quirky train tunnel!
