Delices

Faced with the display case, the fruit tart is a popular choice: it is topped with an assortment of fruit over custard cream and is listed as the menu’s No. 1 favourite. Diners who have eaten in have also praised the pairing of fruit and custard. The fruit and its combinations offer plenty of choice, too. One visitor ordered a blueberry tart with hot coffee, then a cheese tart with iced coffee. For a flavour beyond the brightness of fresh fruit, the cheese tart is another option, with light cream cheese cream over a yoghurt mousse base.

For something richer, try the chocolate tart, which combines rum-scented chocolate ganache with chantilly chocolate cream and the crisp texture of cacao beans. Other options include a banana tart with two kinds of bittersweet caramel cream. Seasonal tarts on the menu vary throughout the year, so the selection on the day might lead you towards fruit, or a slice featuring cream or mousse. There is a wide choice of teas as well as coffee to pair with your tart. Settle in for a break at the shop on the 4 floor of Tennoji Mio Main Building, or choose takeaway.
