In Tokyo, gluten-free sweet shops are few and far between – but that’s where Bonbons De K steps in. Hailing from Chigasaki in the seaside Shonan area, this patisserie has earned a loyal following for its wheat-free creations crafted entirely from domestic ingredients.
The line-up features 35 different treats, from financiers made with 100-percent Japanese rice flour and Hokkaido butter to cookies that come in charming tins adorned with illustrations by artist Izuru Aminaka. This new location also offers a cosy eat-in space (open September 1), where you can linger over cup desserts or savoury, alcohol-compatible bites like Chigasaki whitebait and anchovies.
