Chocolat Fin has the advantage to be located a few minutes away from my office, which in a sense is a bit unfair to other very good confectioneries in Shizuoka. I promise I will hunt away from my haunts from next month! My students will be the happier for it as I do have to visit cake shops at east three times a week!
Now, before I start I’d better alert all my lady friends with a sweet tooth!
I’m certain that Rowena, Memory Taste Girl, Jocelyn, Etsuko, Melinda, Deluscious Life and The Left Over Queen wil be interested to know that the present dessertis a very healthy one! Oh, I forgot that there is atleast one gentleman, Dominique, who will grace me with a professional curiosity!
Shizuoka Prefecture is the largest (about 70%) producer of green tea in Japan. Since we are in the middle of harvesting season, Chocolat Fin had the greaty idea to come up with a creation made with ma-cha tea, a superior class of tea used in tea ceremonies and restaurants. As it comes under the form of powder it is very easy to manipulate.
This Ma-cha pudding was underllined with a caramel sauce and topped with a fine layer of ma-cha jelly. The whole pudding is a perfection of balance, not too sweet, with a definite tea savour and firm enough for you to dig in with your spoon. Actually, I made a point of leaving it in the fridgefor a coupe of hours before devouring it. It almost ate like an ice-cream.
The recipe is not difficult, but the ingredients are simply first class!

Hey there ~
I don’t think I’ve had this specific dessert. I do love the Japanese fruits + candies made with jelly though! I love the Japanese intepretations of pastries esp. the sponge cakes and sponge cake rolls.
Koreans also like Japanese curry intepretations too.
Thanks for the mention too~!
Can’t wait for your next cake stop post ;-P

I really like macha and I really like caramel, and the two together is an intriguing combination.

Keep it simple and you can’t go wrong. It’s principle that can be applied to everything, but it suits food the most.
