Add a multisensory indulgence to your day at Waguri Shiratsuyu, a café specializing in Japanese chestnut confections. Each masterful creation is designed to showcase the aroma and flavor of locally sourced Noto chestnuts. For a limited time, the café is offering two types of the classic Mont Blanc: Harizuri and Kincha. Each is served on a lacquer dish handcrafted for the café by Akagi Akito, an artist based in in Wajima, Noto, and accompanied by elegant knives and forks created by the Kanazawa metalwork artist Takemata Yuichi.
The experience is further elevated with a serving process that engages all the senses. While the customer watches, café staff turn the rich chestnut cream dough through a press to create the signature vermicelli-like topping of a Mont Blanc. The final confection is then set on a lacquer dish made with chestnut wood. When visiting the Higashiyama Area, stop by the café to relax in style during this limited-time collaboration.
