Playful choux creams by Nicolas Charles
Earlier this month, French chef Nicolas Charles took cream puffs to another level with the opening of his self-named store in Ginza, Tokyo. Charles fills his light, crispy choux cream pastries with various mousses and creams rather than the standard custard: Flavors include rose jelly and raspberries mixed with raspberry mousse; basil-flavored mousse mixed with strawberries tossed in balsamic vinegar; and caramel custard with caramelized apples. To play things up a bit, Charles tops his pastries with chocolate icing and two pieces of chocolate that stick out like bunny ears, among other cute designs. The choux creams are ¥630 each. www.nicolascharles.jp

Takemura: as traditional as it gets
Sweetshops don't get much more traditional than Takemura; inside and out it is a classic. Founded in 1930, this handsome two-story wooden building has stood untouched in the backstreets of Kanda-Sudacho, with its stone lantern, shrubs, the little palisade of bamboo and verge of greenery.
