A canelé is a traditional sweet pastry from France, the Bordeaux area. It is known for its crispy outside and chewy inside texture. It’s a popular sweet worldwide as a souvenir and gift because it can be purchased easily. “KURAMAE CANNELE” located right next to Kuramae Station, has been attracting attention for offering freshly baked canelés instead of serving them cooled down after baking. On the 1st floor, you’ll find a take-out specialty store with a lineup of freshly baked canelés known for their thick textures. Check their Instagram for updates on baking time.

This store also has a cafe on the 2nd floor, where you can indulge in delightful dessert plates that perfectly complement their premium grand canelés. These canelés are made from the finest ingredients, including special eggs, and are served alongside tempting treats like fresh cheesecake and Earl Grey tiramisu. Try enjoying it with their original blend of tea, which perfectly complements the flavor of the grand canelé. It’s recommended to visit early because the shop closes once the grand canelés are sold out.
