Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan｜Norizo

APRIL 2023 Visited here late so most of the pastries were sold out. However the remaining sweet danish pastry looks very tasty, ended up getting the strawberry and matcha danish as well as a plain croissant. The pastries were very flaky even though I bought it several hours before eating them so was surprised with the quality. The regular croissant was crispy and buttery with a slight sweetness, airy and soft inside. The danish had even more crispiness due to the condense layers of pastry. The strawberry one was filled with custard cream on the bottom and topped with plenty of sweet red bean, then covered with fresh cream and two whole strawberries. It was rich and decadent; there was also some condense milk for extra measure but I think there was already enough sweetness on it's own. The matcha one also had the same custard cream with more of the fresh cream mixed in with some sweet black bean, then covered with a layer of strong flavored matcha mont blanc. All three pastries were delicious and the danishes were not too sweet and quite substantial so price was pretty good.

Lovely bakery hidden inside Yokohama China town. So glad I found it at last minute that Sunday morning (they seemed to close on Mon/Tue and slightly adjust monthly, better double check ahead), arrived around 10 minutes before opening and already 1 group awaited. The breads are ALL delicious!!! Can’t pick which are the favorite. Highly recommended!

Love this bakery, every selection was so beautifully presented and tastes amazing! They also have English scones, a variety of fruit tarts, and Japanese style pastries made using aubergine as well as shirasu fish 🐟! Interior is in Japanese style as well, and has a very warm and inviting ambience. Location is great too, close to a park where there are many benches and overlooking the sea. A bit expensive but I will definitely be back!!!!! 🍞🥐 please come here if you are in Yokohama, it won’t be a disappoint 😉
