Patisserie-salon de thé japonais installé depuis une dizaine d’années où l’on peut y acheter ou consommer sur place des gâteaux occidentaux à la Japonaise à la grande joie des enfants Japonais habitant à Paris surtout à l’occasion des fêtes d’anniversaire, ainsi que pour les habitués parisiens qui sont nombreux. Y sont proposés aussi bien sûr des desserts français classiques ainsi que des sandwichs et des salades.
Depuis quelques années pendant la période estivale, on peut y savourer à des prix raisonnables des kaki-gôri au sirop de fraise, de melon ou de citron, au lait concentré sucré ou encore au ujikintoki (de l’an avec du thé vert sucré liquide mais épais). Lors de leurs dégustations, ces kaki-gôris rendent les Japonais nostalgiques de leur pays et de leur enfance.

Even the avid pastry junkie in Paris may tire of the usual tarte du jour and seek teatime refuge in wagashi, the equally stylized, ancient pastry of Japan. And while Japanese-influenced green tea macarons and other pastries are now de rigeur at French pastry houses, Paris has a handful of elegant Japanese tea salons and pâtisseries where you can enjoy authentic Japanese tea and pastries in an exotic setting far from the everyday ambiance of your local café.Yamazaki Baking Company’s overseas expansion started in 1981 with the establishment of Hong Kong Yamazaki and the opening of its first fresh bakery shop there. In 1984 Thai Yamazaki was established, followed by Taiwan Yamazaki in 1987. Thanks to its advanced technology, Yamazaki’s Japanese-style bread has been well received in these countries and regions despite their different food cultures.
At present, each of Yamazaki Baking Company’s central bakeries in Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan, and Singapore produces frozen dough using the latest technology, and these frozen products enable the company to develop new retail outlets. In 1998, SunMoulin Yamazaki was set up in Malaysia, and in the following year SunMoulin Yamazaki Singapore was established, along with a new fresh bakery shop. In 2004, Yamazaki Baking Company entered China by establishing Shanghai Yamazaki and opening a bakery cafe in Shanghai’s Jiuguang Department Store. Even in China, Yamazaki’s brand-recognition is strong, so the opening of the eagerly awaited Yamazaki outlet was the talk of the town, and sales have steadily increased since opening day. Since 2006, Yamazaki Baking Company has participated in the management of Four Leaves Pte. in Singapore, In 2007, established Chengdu Yamazaki Baking Co., Ltd. in China.
