Patisserie Kurian



A cake shop in Denen, Gojo City, has become popular for its artistic parfaits.

This high, meticulously calculated, and abundant use of seasonal fruit is wonderful. It is gorgeous to look at, but of course it is also known for its delicious taste.

The peach parfait is a whole peach!



During the peach season, whole peaches are served on the parfait. Both the cakes and parfaits are three-dimensional, so it is best to eat them at the restaurant when they are freshest. The amount of fruit is just unbelievable, and because it is so delicious, the place is crowded with many people every day. The store also has an atmosphere like a French house.
