Kobe Fugetsudo

I heart Kobe Fugetsudo!
Their goodies are definitely pricey but I’m hooked. Such delicate and flavorful treats. I love their cookies, especially with a cup of hot tea. I appreciate that everything sold here isn’t overly sweet. It’s just right. Cashier was kind and wrapped my order with care. The items are all displayed neatly. Since everything is already prepackaged, they have plastic models of some of their treats so you can see what you are purchasing.
If you need a gift idea, this place is awesome. It’s always a hit.

Very tasty treats and great gifts for those who prefer the Japanese style of traditional sweets. Also like their Castella cakes.

pros… love this place, as it is apparently a very famous company in japan. was here just last week, and got some pretty tasty stuff. along the way wanted to get some goodies for one of my japanese patients at work, and so got some little confectionaries. my patient was duly impressed with the fugetsu do treats.
anyways, come here for some pretty fancy sweets. all with a japanese twist of course. most things are going to be on the light and airy side. nothing here will be overtly sweet, but it will be a nice and subtle treat. i personally like the treats that you can do the final assembly before you eat it. for instance there is a little treat that you have a small cracker made of ice cream cone wafer, and then you get to add the red bean filling inside. once put together it is just delicious.
cons…wish we had a bigger shop here in San Diego. we have one in the mitsuwa here, but it pales in comparison with this place in torrance. it’s far but if you know what you want and really like it, then it’s just a little drive up north from San Diego.

Sitting by the fire we made
You’re the answer when I prayed
I would find someone
and baby I found you.
All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more every day
You saved my heart
from being broken apart
You gave your love away
and I’m thankful every day
for the gift.
The best thing in life is to be in love. Second best is getting gifts from Kobe Fugetsudo. I found my Japanese-​French favorite cookie place. I wish I could eat it every day.
I got a gift from here and it was one of my favorite gifts of all time. My gift came in a long tin that was nicely wrapped with Kobe Fugetsudo wrapper. I knew right away I would like what’s inside.
I have a sweet tooth and this place is one of my favorite places to get Japanese snacks. My number one choice from here is Petit Gaufres-​thin cookies with cream inside. I always save matcha green tea and strawberry for last.
Watching as you softly sleep
What I’d give if I could keep
Just this moment
if only time stood still.
4 stars! I am a fan! Maybe I’ll get this again for Christmas or Valentine’s day *hint* *hint*
Kobe Fugetsudo is yummylicious!!!

New sweet shop in mitsuwa market. If you love matcha, it has a lot of selection to choose: matcha chocolate bar, matcha powder, candies, cookies, etc. Also they have more than 20 kind of Mochi flavors. My favorite is raspberry Mochi. Its a pricey (1.80 each) but it’s really good.

Little thin cookies or wafers with a thin layer of cream filling in little tin cans. I can’t not thing of a better idea! I don’t know if it was the tin can that attracted me, or the idea of a thin wafer cookie with cream filling.
I picked up a trio, enjoyed the cookie, now I get to continue to enjoy the tins. Sweet confectioneries Japanese style. How quaint!

This is a fancy sweets shop, but a good one.
It’s located inside the Mitsuwa Market Place just outside the food court facing the supermarket section. This is not the same owner/​company as the Fugetsudo in Down Town LA. It advertises as born in Kobe sweets and their website is useful to get an idea what they carry. Note: The web’s in Japanese, I couldn’t successfully translate everything to English.
They specialize in super duper fancy traditional Japanese confectioneries and I’ve-never-heard-of-this-before fancy European style sweets. Unfortunately the prices are super duper also (high-​ish). It can be reasonable if you chose carefully, like one piece of wafer sweet (Kidding, they have reasonably priced to high priced).
Some of the offerings are Gaufre (Looks nice, crunchy),
Lespoir (Buttery, crunchier),
Financier (Finger cakes, gwaaa~~d it’s good),
Marrons Graces (Chestnut?),
Kobe Bouchee (huh, looks like bread, I’ll just go
the bakery down the isle and save money…)
Apple Pie (when will you have this in stock?
Maybe I can afford it.)
Traditional confectioneries (Just wow…)
And sometimes they have unique looking items that look like work of art. They also carry whole/​single serving cakes and pies but pickings are slim whenever I go (I believe you can pre-​order to get what you want).
I went a couple of days ago on a last minute shop, many items where sold out but still got a few nice package sets.
Now I’m thinking of ways to get invited again soon to the places I gave these to before they’re all gone (Maybe they’re going to open it and eat today, I can call now).
This shop just shouts GIFT! And this place is it for me to get food gifts (In fact, I can’t imagine buying these for my own consumption except to taste test which I do from time to time out of curiosity mostly).
Many items are pre-​packaged so you don’t have to worry about it going bad in a couple of days. Many of their tin cans that the European style sweets come in are just beautiful and would make a nice gift.
Five stars for the quality. Minus one star for their prices (Torrance ain’t Bevery Hills).
