Zuccotto filled with strawberries at the specialty store for fruit tarts & canele, “We ARE READY.”

We ARE READY is a fruit tart and canele specialty store located in Hakata. The interior is decorated with plants and antique furniture, creating an atmosphere that makes you feel as if you are in a foreign country. One of the most popular strawberry sweets during this season is “Zuccotto with plenty of strawberries.” Zuccotto is a dessert that originated in Tuscany, a regional city in Italy, and is a dome-shaped cake. One of the reasons for the popularity of Zuccotto with fruit is the beautiful cross section of the fruit inside. Enjoy the photogenic cross section and sides of strawberries and the perfect balance of sweet and sour strawberries and cream. Although the filling is generous with plenty of strawberries inside, the high-quality cream is not too sweet, so you can eat it all by yourself.
