patisserie swallowtail white rose

at shinjuku maruione, on the first floor, there is stand staffed by maids and butlers

it is an off-shoot of the famous butler cafe swallowtail

you can buy some of their cakes, pastries, scones, cookies, and jam

i got some cakes to try

it comes in a fancy box and bag

this one was called black rose

my favorite

newton, apple and caramel flavored

doesn't it look just like an apple?

i forget the name of this, but it was also very good

cream puffs filled with banana/chocolate cream and caramelized sugar

if you want to see the current list of cakes & other goodies at the maruione location
