The new collection for spring features the Japanese-inspired "Éclair Matcha."
Frédéric Cassel's New Creations for Japanese Spring
Following its debut last autumn, Frédéric Cassel's "Choux Vanille," popular for its creamy filling and the novel texture of its choux pastry, now welcomes a spring version: "SAKURA." The collection also includes bonbons chocolat and éclairs, offering a taste of spring in Japan as envisioned by the master pâtissier.

A "SAKURA" Motif with a Japanese Touch
Cassel's "SAKURA" is also available as a bonbon chocolat.
The "SAKURA" bonbon chocolat, born from Cassel's affection for the Japanese spring, features a milk chocolate ganache with griotte (sour cherry) layered with a rich, almond-infused pâté. Coated in white chocolate, its exquisite flavor, enhanced by a hint of kirsch, is truly captivating.
"Bonbon Chocolat / SAKURA" ¥315 each (Available at Ginza Mitsukoshi, Hyatt Regency Kyoto Trattoria Sette Pastry Boutique)
Spring Collection "Éclair Matcha"
A Japanese Twist on the Éclair—The delicately baked choux pastry is filled with a cream that captures the bitterness and refreshing essence of Uji matcha. This collaboration between a traditional French confection and Japanese ingredients offers a novel surprise, a graceful spring creation that evokes the serene atmosphere of Kyoto, a city Cassel deeply cherishes.
"Éclair Matcha" ¥683 (Available at Ginza Mitsukoshi)
*Available until April 16 (Tuesday)
The Secret to the Pale Pink Cream: Sakura Bean Paste
The cream for the new spring "SAKURA" creation is a blend of custard and fresh cream with sakura bean paste, giving it a subtle cherry blossom hue. Topped with a delicate sakura flower, this exquisite dessert offers a refined and light flavor that evokes the Japanese spring, perfectly complementing the popular crispy texture and fragrant, freshly baked pastry.
"SAKURA" ¥420 (Available at Ginza Mitsukoshi)
*Available until April 16 (Tuesday)
