At the Ecute Akabane, located next to Gonta and Bunmeido, food enthusiasts and sweet tooth aficionados are invited to indulge their senses at a unique sweets event titled '五感すべてを使って楽しむスウィーツのイベントスペース'. This exciting initiative runs from March 1 to March 14, 2025, and features two delightful pop-up shops.
The first shop, cafe The sun lives here, hails from the renowned Mita Tea House, specializing in cheesecakes. Upon visiting on March 4, visitors were greeted by charming jars filled with various cheesecake offerings, complemented by cookies and original merchandise like caps and eco-bags, all showcasing their adorable designs. With the chef's promise, "ひと口食べた瞬間、みんな笑顔になるチーズケーキ。" ("With just one bite, everyone smiles at this cheesecake."), it’s evident why this cheesecake specialty shop is creating such buzz among dessert lovers.
The second pop-up, Konditorei Kobe, has carved out its niche with its remarkable selection of sweets. Founded with the vision to bring the best of Kobe pastries to the public, this store features several vibrant chocolate-covered raisins and dried fruits. An exciting highlight is their Kobe Vanilla Fromage, which retails for 2,095 yen and is celebrated for its two-layered cheesecake experience, balancing baked cheese and Italian meringue for a delicate yet indulgent dessert.
Another fan favorite is the Kobe Mont Blanc Galette, offered at 1,188 yen for five pieces or 2,160 yen for ten. This delicacy features aromatic paste made from high-quality丹波栗 (Tanba chestnuts) paired with crunchy cookies, creating a delightful texture and impressive flavor. For those seeking gift ideas for White Day, the visually appealing packaging enhances the treat’s allure, making it perfect for sharing with loved ones.
Konditorei Kobe is not only presenting delectable flavors but also engaging customers with exciting promotional campaigns. Shoppers are encouraged to purchase four boxes of their popular Kobe Sannomiya French Toast Langue de Chat for added value, as buying four nets them another box free! Those who spend over 5,000 yen will be delighted with the gift of Konditorei Kobe's branded cooler bag, perfectly suited for carrying sweet treasures.
Visitors can enjoy this special sweets event every day from 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM, with slightly reduced hours from 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM on weekends and holidays. With only days left to experience this unique event, the essence of spring treats awaits those who step through the doors of Ecute Akabane.
Whether for gifting or personal indulgence, attendees will find both culinary artistry and heartfelt hospitality infused within each delicious offering. With exemplary confectionery from both cafe The sun lives here and Konditorei Kobe, this event promises to engage all five senses, immersing guests in the world of exquisite sweets they won’t want to miss!
Visit Ecute Akabane until March 14, 2025, to savor these delightful sweets and spread joy this White Day!
