Rich, Melt-in-the-Mouth "Hiyatoro Cake Chocolate"

Made entirely in-house, "Hiyatoro Cake Chocolate" is the shop's original take on the traditional Brazilian sweet "Bolo gelado," adapted with a less-sweet flavor familiar to Japanese tastes. The cake is soaked with a special chocolate sauce, giving it a soft, melting texture that has earned it the description "drinkable cake." For dine-in orders, an additional sauce is served on the side, making the cake even more moist and smooth. "Hiyatoro Cake Chocolate" offers a taste of Brazil from afar.

"Brazilian Coffee"

Made exclusively with beans imported directly from farms in Brazil, the "Brazilian Coffee" at "LuaRuaCoffee" is best enjoyed black. The café takes particular care with its original dark roast, bringing out the beans' natural character along with a deep, full-bodied richness, a toasty aroma, and layers of flavor. Available hot or iced, the coffee has a clean taste that pairs beautifully with the café's original sweets, pleasantly cutting through their lingering sweetness.

Must-try signature dish

• 

  "Acai Bowl"

  Made with acai sourced from Brazil and no other fruit, this bowl highlights the natural flavor of acai while providing an easy way to get its nutrients. Brazilian guarana syrup adds sweetness, with seasonal fruit on top. Chocolate sprinkles, condensed milk, and coconut add layers of flavor, creating a different combination with each spoonful.

• 

  "Pastel"

  "Pastel" is a popular snack at markets and street stalls in Brazil. House-made pastry dough is fried until crisp and filled generously with ingredients such as ground beef, chicken, and cream cheese. Neither a fried dumpling nor a fried pie, its light, crisp texture is easy to crave and brings a taste of Brazil in every bite.
