Made-to-Order Mont Blanc (Chestnut Cake): A Popular New Dessert in Japan
Made-to-order Mont Blanc, also known as a chestnut cake, is one of the most popular new desserts in Japan. Unlike traditional Mont Blanc cakes, made-to-order Mont Blanc is characterized by the technique of piping chestnut paste directly onto the dessert after an order is placed. This method maximizes the fresh and rich flavor of the chestnuts.
The performance of piping the paste right in front of the customer, along with the fresh taste, has made made-to-order Mont Blanc a hit, especially on social media. Many shops offer their own unique variations of this dessert, and it can be enjoyed with various flavors and toppings in addition to chestnut.
This dessert is highly popular among the younger generation due to its visually appealing presentation and delicate taste. It is often served in stylish cafes and specialty shops, and it has gained a reputation as an Instagram-worthy treat.
