Patisserie & Salon de The HANAI in Shizuoka City!

Service: Extremely friendly and attentive
Equipment & Facilities: Overall spotless clean. Superb washroom.
Prices: Reasonable~slightly expensive (reasonable considering the quality!)
Strong points: Superb array of cakes and biscuits aimed at an adult clientele. Excellent lunch sets. Wine & beer available. Can be enjoyed as a cafe, restaurant and wine bar.

Chef Takuya Hanai/花井拓也さん last year in October finally moved to the present location, not far from where his previous shop called “Taky’s” was standing. His clientele just had to move a bit further.
The difference between Taky’s and HANAI is the available pace!

Instead of a single floor, HANAI stands on two floors with the Patisserie downstairs and the Salon de The/Cafe Restaurant upstairs!

If you want your cakes with a drink upstairs instruct Takuya’s sous-chef, Mr. Sano, and it will be taken up!
The cakes are essentially seasonal with some regular classics. Cakes can be prepared on order for private parties and the like!

Great view on the professional kitchen!

Not only cakes but also succulent biscuits are available!

More confectionery include pound cakes and madeleines!

Can you spot the superb choux and eclairs?

Don’t miss the fruit jellies and fancy desserts!

The seating is really functional with a large table, smaller table and a counter!

Wines, beer and more available all day!

A lovely corner for lovebirds or privacy!

The place is light and so clean!

A busy kitchen, especially at lunch time!

Superb lunch sets!
No wonder Takuya’s clientele followed him along!

My order of the day with my coffee: Ginger and lime Mousse tart!
Separate article on the tasting coming after this article!
Expect quite a few tasting articles in the near future!

Have a good look at all the cute objets on your way out!
