A few weeks ago, I received a gift box from Kumori Japanese Bakery.  It came with a nice brochure and an assortment of pastries for sampling.

According to my siblings who know a bit of the Japanese language, Kumori means "cloudy".  You can also imply that from their scribbled cloud logo.

Kumori is BIG in Japan.  I'm so glad it's now here in the Philippines for us to try.  Kumori offers natural, fresh and quality cakes and pastries.


The family loved it so much that we actually visited it as much as we could.  They currently have a stall in SM Makati and Landmark.

Aside from cakes and pastries, there also have puddings.

While we found some selection to be affordable, there are also expensive ones.

Evey thing we tried was good.  My brother liked the Fuwa-Fuwa Cream Bun.  He said "fuwa-fuwa" is kind of a bouncy sound effect in Japanese and that's really what you can expect from this fluffy bun.  All of us loved the Salmon Bonito because of the rich coating and the delicious salmon filling.

But, what really blew us away was the Signature Hanjuku Cheesecake which comes in original and chocolate.  As you can see the packaging for take out is superb.  It even has a cool pack beneath.  

Signature Hanjuku Cheesecake Original (48 php)

The Signature Hanjuku Cheesecake Original is a half-baked Japanese style cheesecake that is perfectly in harmony with different textures and consistency: light, fluffy and cream.  Seriously this is a MUST TRY!  You haven't lived your life if you haven't tried this.  I can't have enough of this and want more of it! =p

Signature Hanjuku Cheesecake Chocolate (48 php)

The Signature Hanjuku Cheesecake Chocolate is just as good.  The chocolate is not sweet but bitter sweet - just the way I like it.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
I'm so glad Kumori Japanese Bakery is here.  I now know where I can go when I have a Japanese Cheesecake craving.  I hope they offers discounts, frequency cards or bread sales though as some items can be a bit pricey and I still want to try them.  We'll surely try their cakes for our future occasions.
