It’s been over two years since Japanese pastry chef Morihide Yoshida opened his shop in Paris, and it seems like he’s doing quite well. The pastry display is as good-looking as ever – his chaussons aux pommes are especially gorgeous – making it really hard not to leave this place with a little more than originally planned. Here are some recent tastings.

“Érable Caramélisé” (€5.80), a recent addition to Mori Yoshida’s pastry display, is a tart composed of maple syrup caramel cream, maple syrup chocolate mousse, hazelnut biscuit, and hazelnut nougatine. It’s a simple and elegant design perfectly assembled together, though the flavor isn’t an instant hit with me.

Pastries in the park, two of my favorite things in Paris put together. And there’s no waiting! Got to seize these last few days of lingering warmth before the winter cold envelops this city.

So why not go to your favorite park with a few pretty things from your favorite patisserie? For this particular afternoon, a friend and I settled somewhere near the Invalids with a box of Mori Yoshida.

Figs is now in season, and all pastry shops are out with their own interpretations of this autumn fruit. Here’s Mori Yoshida’s Solliès (€4.80), macarons sandwiching caramel mousseline cream, fig confiture, and fresh figs. A lovely thing to look at, but the combination of caramel with figs is a bit too sweet for my personal taste.

Mori Yoshida

A friend of mine has once referred to a particular pastry as her “soulmate”. Well, I’ve never thought of any pastry as my soulmate, but if I do, Beige from Mori Yoshida is probably it.

Beige (€5.30): chocolate shortcrust pastry filled praliné feuilleté, orange ganache, topped with Darjeeling tea and lime-flavored cream, and lastly finished with white chocolate shavings. Delicate, elegant, and soothing, like a cup of perfectly brewed milk tea. I’m absolutely in love with it.

I’ve always loved clean, minimalistic shop designs, and Mori Yoshida was exactly that. Opened just one week ago by Japanese pastry chef Morihide Yoshida, who has honed his skills in both Japan (Park Hyatt Tokyo and his own patisserie) and France (La Pâtisserie des Rêves and Jacques Genin), the shop has an exceedingly purest design. The attention, naturally, is drawn to the beautiful pastries on display.
