Overview
Shinjuku Takano is famous for cakes centered around fruit. Even when the cake uses chocolate, the fruit still feels like the main character.
Sweets
The strawberries are fresh and juicy, and the chocolate whipped cream is light enough that it does not bury the fruit. The balance is very Takano: sweet, clean, and fruit-first.
It looks like a chocolate cake at first, but the impression after eating it is closer to a strawberry shortcake with a gentle chocolate accent.
