Kogumaya

The bear-faced macarons, called “Kogumakaron”, have won praise not only for their charming appearance but also for their crisp, delicate texture and a hint of jam. Some reports mention three varieties, each with a different expression to match its flavour. Opinions on the taste vary: some found them not too sweet, while others felt they might not suit every macaron lover. Their playful looks are part of the appeal when choosing a treat.

Baked goods are another highlight. Customers have mentioned buying financiers, as well as cakes with moist sponge and orange or other fruit to take as gifts. They could make a nice pairing with the macarons. Other menu suggestions include fruit pudding, a tanuki-shaped cake, fraisier and blueberry cake. Choosing between fresh cakes and baked treats is part of the fun of seeing what is available in the shop.

Kogumaya is takeaway-only, with no dine-in option. Some reports note that opening days are irregular, so it is worth checking the latest opening information before visiting.
