A bakery that serves panettone all year round [Contributed Article] [chouchou]

The bakery [coneruya] is located about a 10-minute walk down Marutamachi-dori from JR Enmachi Station. It was only at the end of last year that I was surprised to see a baked sweets store suddenly appear five doors down from it.

The name of the store is "chouchou. It means "favorite" in French.

1.Stylish baked goods shop on Marutamachi Dori

The bright white sunshades and turquoise blue walls of [chouchou] are impressive.

When we visited on Sunday around snack time, we saw a lineup of baked goods lined up inside a large glass window. Checking the official website, we learned that the shop is currently open only on weekends and holidays.

While I was looking through the many sweets, a small window opened and a cute lady peeked out. She offers me a sample of her panettone, and I feel like I'm in the Christmas spirit.

2.Be dazzled by the tempting baked goods.

Not only stollen, but also panettone, an Italian Christmas pastry, are popular during this season. When asked about it, they say that panettone can be found in their stores regardless of the season.

All of the baked goods were in an affordable price range. In addition to adult-oriented items such as carrot cake and cinnamon rolls, there were also mini donuts called "angel rings" and large chocolate chip cookies. The selection of baked goods that would be popular with children is typical of coneruya.

3.Baked goods that make both adults and children smile

chouchou's baked sweets

Lemon cake 250 yen, carrot cake 350 yen, cinnamon roll 250 yen, chocolate muffin 250 yen, panettone cut

The muffins, a favorite of the children, are not dense, but rather soft and tender. They were eaten in no time at all with cold milk.

Carrot cake with a soft and fluffy texture

The carrot cake has a moist and flaky texture that is very easy to eat, and is recommended for those who do not like peculiar carrot cake. The fluffy frosting is sweet and adds a sweet touch.

Panettone by chouchou

Panettone Caramel (half) 650 yen

The caramel panettone has a fluffy, moist dough with a slight aroma of fermented seeds and a pleasant orange peel flavor. It has a subtle caramel aroma and a sticky texture. It goes well with coffee and tea, as well as with wine, cider, and other alcoholic beverages.

By the way, panettone lasts for two weeks for whole panettone, and 10 days for half-size and other cut pieces. Why don't you enjoy it in the Italian way of cutting it up little by little for Christmas and get in the Christmas mood?
