Mochi Mochi Aki, the new gourmet store of Aki Paris

Mochi Mochi Aki is the new gourmet boutique opened by Aki Paris in February. If you're a fan of Japanese sweets, now's the time to discover and indulge.

On arrival, the store isn't very big. Everything is self-service, so all you have to do is take what you like and pay at the cash desk.

In the refrigerated section, you'll find :

A wide range of melon pans. Melon pan or melon bread is a Japanese pastry consisting of a classic brioche bun covered with a thin layer of cookie dough. In taste, it's akin to a sugar bun with a cracker on top. At Aki, these melon buns are transformed into burgers and enriched with crème pâtissière, chantilly and other sweets.

As we passed by, we discovered the delicious strawberry-lemon bread melon, black sesame-matcha, raspberry-matcha and sakura (cherry blossom) burgers.
