dolce panda

A cheese toast topped with marmalade made from sunfruit and yukou, Camembert and mozzarella brings together fruity sweetness and savoury cheese. It is a good choice when you fancy both at once.

For a light meal, try toast made with bread from Sazanami Bakery. Choose from the blackboard, or, if time allows, ask for a half-and-half to sample two flavours. Options range from simple butter toast to cheese toast with saury and Kujo spring onions, and pumpkin toast topped with pumpkin seeds and cashews. For something sweeter, there is toast with Gorgonzola and cream cheese, sliced figs, honey and pepper. The choices suit either a meal or a snack.

If you have a sweet tooth, look out for the fig and Assam tart. Its Assam-infused pastry is filled with plenty of figs baked with red wine and beet sugar, along with cream. When choosing one treat is difficult, the Dolce Set lets you pick one sweet or two half-size sweets. Pair them with a drink such as tea or roasted green tea; it makes a dessert after toast or a leisurely tea-and-cake break.
