Patisserie Sadaharu Aoki, A Third Time ♥

I returned to Sadaharu Aoki because this place holds so much special memories for me,
from my very first taste of its matcha eclair to its matcha opera to its fraisier and the
whole dessert degustation, I was always filled with so match-a joy and contentment. :P
(See my previous posts here, here, and here

I've always loved this wall mural

 

 

Sadly, my recent visit brought only disappointment.

I went a little crazy with the matcha items.
Yes, this was right after lunch at Butagumi. See post here

EEEEEP!!!!!!!! The top pastry was so hard it wouldn't budge when I tried cutting into it. 
 The matcha cream (which could use a lot more matcha flavor) oozed out from all sides.

The middle and bottom pastry were as stubborn. I ended up eating only the cream.
Did I already mention it needed more matcha flavor?
