Colombin, which was founded in 1924 and boasts of being the first provider of authentic French sweets in Japan, is putting a Japanese twist on traditional French goodies with the release of bright green, matcha-flavored sweets in select shops until June 26.
Notable items include the roll cakes filled with plenty of whipped cream and matcha (green tea) ganache (?1,296) and the Mont Blanc (?540) made with Uji green tea from Kyoto.
If you¡¯re in Ueno, the branch there sells panda-inspired roll cakes (?1, 388) and shortcakes (?648) that are as adorable as the real ones in Ueno Zoo.
