Recommended Menu

This time, I tried—

Scone: 190 yen
Canelé: 200 yen

To be honest, I came here specifically for the canelé!!!

Just look at this beauty.

I’m completely smitten with these canelés.
The texture isn’t too firm—rather—

it’s beautifully moist!!

Sooooo chewy and delicious!!!

Chewy and moist with a gentle fluffy texture too!
If you love your canelés on the moist and tender side,
these are absolutely a must-try!!

And the scone!!
You might think those are chocolate chips, right?

Surprise—they’re raisins!!

This one is also wonderfully moist
with a delightful hint of saltiness—so tasty!!

The raisins are quite small, so even those who aren’t
usually fans of raisins might enjoy this one! ( *´艸｀)

A scone with no dryness whatsoever.
Absolutely love it.

You could easily polish it off in no time!

They’ve got tons of other breads and baked goods too,
so please, definitely give Nuit et Jour a visit when you’re in Kumamoto!!
