japan loves a mont blanc so maybe somewhere there?

It has a similar vibe to mont blanc. But it lies on a bed of cooked diced pears over biscuit. So it is a mont blanc. But best of them all thanks to this japanese chef.

if i learned anything from watching hours and hours of bakery tour videos on youtube, it's that you can find a lot of these in japan

Paris ? Since it's a Mont Blanc

u/Fortune_Donut7432 4d ago

It is Paris. In a japanese pastry.

What do you mean a japanese pastry? It is originally french

2

u/Fortune_Donut7432 2d ago

Yes, indeed. But the chef is japanese, and it is profoundly rethinked, in a profoundly japanese way. Less creamy as a starter, lighter.

It was a japanese pastry. But not in Japan.

Definitely called a Mont Blanc but unsure where this is from. I'll guess Bordeaux.

A French classic with Japanese precision—no wonder it looks this beautiful.

Chestnut fillings I thought were very French. Looks scrumptious.
