Magnificent Luxury Sweets.
Introducing wonderful sweets with a cool name and beautiful appearance ♡
The store Kamakura Ōrindō offers a confection called [Patron]!
Patron.
What a powerful name it is.
A luxurious treat wrapped in golden packaging, in a round shape.
(The box is impressive too!)
It consists of crushed chestnuts formed into a lump, and is thinly coated with chocolate on the outside*
The rich and moist harmony of densely packed chestnuts with a thin layer of chocolate is simply delightful ♡
It's famously known as a luxurious bite-sized treat that's too indulgent to eat in just one bite.
Apparently a favorite of the Kamakura ladies*
In fact, Patron is a common souvenir from Kamakura ♡ The store Kamakura Ōrindō is a famous establishment in Kamakura.
This classical Western-style building with a grand entrance is their main store.
The chic, heavy-feeling building has a confectionery shop and salon on the first floor. The second floor is used as a venue for classical concerts too ♡
It’s a luxury to enjoy sweets after indulging in music*
The price is about 1600 yen for a box of four and about 2400 yen for a box of six.
That's roughly 400 yen per piece.
The flavors include Chocolat au Lait, White Chocolate, Chocolat Noir, and Matcha, with different varieties of chestnuts used to match each flavor*
They would also make great gifts or can be divided into smaller portions for cute presents.
The pound cake looks delicious too♡
In addition to Patron, Kamakura Ōrindō is also popular for its pound cake.
Just look at how packed with chestnuts it is!
Depending on the season, they create limited-time options like orange, fig, and cherry blossoms ♡
For this season, it's cherry blossom flavor ♡
Available not just in Kamakura*
Kamakura Ōrindō’s sweets can be found not only in the main store in Kamakura but also in locations like Ginza and Shinagawa. They are also available for purchase online, so be sure to try them at least once ♡
