Green Tea Eclair


Conveniently located on rue de Vaugirard, a block from my dorm.


A case of green tea-infused treats.


A green, oozy yumminess.

Sadaharu Aoki is a pastry chef trained in the French classical tradition who boldly pioneered the fusion of French and Asian ingredients in his pastries. Or so I've read. Basically, he adds matcha to some of his creations, thus rendering amazingly delicious treats. The matcha lends lightness to the traditional eclair and the matcha glaze is not cloying. I'm a fan. Although, at €4.00 an eclair, I'm a reserved fan.
