- Macaron 10 pièces assortment: 4,590 yen (tax included)
This assortment features 8 varieties and 10 pieces, primarily chocolate-flavored macarons. Highlights include “Infiniment Chocolat Paineiras,” an homage to pure chocolate from Brazil’s Paineiras farm, and “Plénitude,” which combines rich caramel with robust bitter chocolate.
- Terrine Plaisir Intense (Aoyama Limited): 3,105 yen (tax included)
For an exclusive treat, the “Terrine Plaisir Intense,” available only at the Pierre Hermé Paris Aoyama boutique, promises a meltingly smooth texture.
