Caramel & Chocolate Mousse Gateau:I actually didn't actually buy these as someone really nice decided to treat me with Yamakawa's cakes, knowing I'm a cake lover but weary of possible diabetes at the same time as I ain't so keen to thy legs amputated to knee level so soon! Anyway hope this cake is named correctly as I tasted mostly Caramel on the top layer with a bit of Chocolate mousse beneath. Was it good? It tastes good but seemed a bit too dense and uncreative. I expect more from Patiss

Anyway hope this cake is named correctly as I tasted mostly Caramel on the top layer with a bit of Chocolate mousse beneath. Was it good? It tastes good but seemed a bit too dense and uncreative. I expect more from Patisserie Yamakawa in terms of thought process and layering-wise, I suppose! 4/5
Chestnut Mont Blanc:
My benchmark for a Chestnut Mont Blanc is C'est Mieux, the predecessor which used to occupy the spaces now taken over by Yamakawa. The version here was really dense at first but luckily its the price you pay for its generous amount of chestnut paste taste. Compared to that fluffier C'est Mieux version which was softer and carried both tinned and fresh chestnut taste all in one, the Yamakawa version served here was mainly of the tinned chestnut variety. Topped with half a piece of very welcome sugarized Marron Glacé, it has both advantages and weaknesses compared to its competitor. Epoch's Mont Blanc might win over these two Japanese offerings in terms of looks, but in terms of natural taste, its C'est Mieux > Yamakawa > Epoch for now.
