The place is very small, but cakes are really nice looking and tasty. I remember they give you a cape for free if you buy a birthday set (special candles and at least three pancakes or so..) The cup cake design is sometime so detailed. The 'saru' (monkey) you is one of the funniest. I tried this cupcake shop twice and it’s just amazing.

I have yet to find a good moist carrot cake in this country. But these cupcakes were pretty good. I agree. I have yet to find a good moist carrot cake in this country.

Cake has to have good texture and that's something that is so often disappointing in Japan. I'm not sure if they over-bake them or the omission of some of the sugar (which lends moisture to cake) causes this problem, but I find this a major failing in cake here and rarely buy cake because of this. The bakers can add moisture without sugar by using soy flour or adding unsweetened fruit puree, but this adjustment doesn't seen to be made.
