Patisserie Sadaharu Aoki in Paris, France

How DO Parisians stay so thin? It’s near impossible to find vegetables that aren’t smothered in butter at restaurants. Croissants and baguettes are diet staples, and purchasing fine, yet affordable wines is way too easy. Not to mention, the locals are constantly surrounded by a rainbow of irresistible pastries.

Some patisseries are finer than others but few are as chic as Sadaharu Aoki in Paris. If Bubo in Barcelona resembles a jewelry shop then Sadaharu Aoki looks more like a high-end cosmetics boutique.

Pastry chef Sadaharu Aoki mastered his craft in Tokyo and is internationally recognized for his intricate and whimsical creations. He incorporates avant-garde Japanese aesthetics and flavours such as yuzu and cherry blossom into French macarons, cakes, chocolates and biscuits.

Sadaharu Aoki has expanded to Taipei and back to his hometown, Tokyo. There are four locations in Paris so be sure to check one out when you head that way.

Oh, and these delicate treats taste even better than they look. Take a peek.

Just back from France after 3 weeks of eating cream and butter daily, and I have to say I gained ZERO pounds. I think it is the walking around and the wine that burns off all those calories.

Ugh I should have done a better job researching Paris. I want to go back just to try the bakeries and restaurants!

Thanks, dear! I wish the same but baking and I never really got along. The precision required here looks painful.

Wow! And I was impressed with Pierre Herme’s macarons! I am going back to Paris in September so will definitely be looking out for Sadaharu Aoki’s patisserie. Thanks for the tip! As for the French keeping so slim, having married a Frenchman, my observation is that they do not have the same tendency to snack between meals and that their main meals actually occur at lunchtime and they tend to eat relatively light in the evening.
Photographs are stunning ;-)

Wow, lucky you :) September will be such a beautiful time to visit. I know you’ll love love love Sadaharu. Thanks for demystifying the slimness thing for me. It’s what I’ve heard but it’s still hard to believe, maybe because I have such little self control ;) Drop by more often!
