There's even a French Patisserie in Silicon Valley with entirely French-trained Japanese culinary staff with all ingredients shipped in from France. Go figure.

Go figure. :P
(despite the high prices, their products are quite good)
- ekianjo 12y agoHere in Japan where I live there are a couple of very decent Patisseries with Japanese staff trained in France (at least the Chef) and they are quite good. The only problem is that they lack butter in Japan and therefore they reduce the butter amount for stuff like Pain au chocolat or Croissant and it does not taste the same as the real french thing anymore. Japan should really import butter, but JA (Japan Agriculture) is probably organizing the boycott of all imports so that they can sell a ridiculous piece of butter for like 5 dollars while the same would cost 10 times less in France.
- hkmurakami 12y agoOh so that's why things like butter and cheese cost ridiculous amounts of money there! (used to live and work in Japan)
- ekianjo 12y agoYeah, it's (mafia-style) organized rarity :)
