The Star of the Show: Pistine
Among the exquisite offerings is the quantity-limited “Pistine,” a rich delight born from a harmonious blend of pistachio cake and pistachio chocolate. The cake batter is baked at high temperatures for a crispy exterior, then filled with soft pistachio chocolate, allowing the two textures to meld into a sublime, unified flavor. This treat is available in limited quantities at 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM daily, priced at 1,620 yen (tax included) for a box of five. If you’re a true pistachio enthusiast, this is one to queue for!
