A place called Patisserie Mirage opened up, so I went along. I’ve been several times now, so I’m putting it all in one post.
Roughly what the place looks like
The door is huge and hefty, and it looks great.
The cafe inside
The garden inside
They seem to be going for a Kyoto sort of atmosphere.
The entrance
Seen from here it really is big.
The baked sweets
The cakes
They look like a cut above.
Cream puff
This cream puff seems to be the house speciality, and eating one, it’s packed with cream flecked with vanilla seeds. Delicious.
The kitchen inside
It’s enormous, and in fact there’s a wedding hall right next door to Patisserie Mirage, and the shop is run by them. So I suspect they operate at a scale that can handle bulk orders too.
The cakes
They really do make them beautifully.
Ambre (crystallised sugar candy)
It looks pretty, but I wasn’t sure whether it would taste good, so…
The baked sweets
The cakes on another day
It feels like a higher standard than most department store food halls.
Coffee
They’ve put a lot of care into the interior too.
The picks of the day
Everything was good. The chocolate one in particular was mint flavoured, the kind of thing the enthusiasts go for. That said, it isn’t quite at the level of Tokyo’s top-tier patissiers. Still, having a place this good nearby is something to be grateful for.
