Smile-Worthy Sweets Full of Sweet Delight
Located in the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter in Chuo, Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, "Kurashiki Ekubo Kumo" is a takeout shop specializing in cream puffs and eclairs. Each pastry is filled to order at the counter with smooth cream featuring a restrained sweetness. A wide selection of cream puffs and eclairs lines the display, with the small, easy-to-eat "Petit Ekubo Skewer" among the standout items. Bite-sized cream puffs coated in four types of chocolate are arranged on a skewer for easy one-handed eating. The charming appearance also photographs well against the district's white-walled streetscape.
Smooth, Mild Cream Made with Specialty Farm Eggs
High-quality eggs from a specialty shop in Okayama form the foundation of the cream puffs and eclairs. The deep richness and sweetness of the yolks are brought out in a smooth cream with a gentle finish, while skilled craftsmanship and carefully selected ingredients create a fragrant, full-flavored result.
Freshly Filled for an Irresistible Texture
A defining feature is the cream, piped into each pastry at the counter after an order is placed. This made-to-order approach brings together crisp choux pastry and smooth cream in a way not possible with pre-filled pastries. The freshly prepared texture is complemented by the lively experience of watching the finishing process up close.
