It’s done.
Our brand started with understanding French sweets recipes and the thoughts of pastry chefs, but we were able to open a store after encountering Kyoto’s food culture. In addition to using locally produced materials, we also offer limited edition products that pay close attention to details such as manufacturing methods and designs. Due to the opportunity of opening in Kyoto, we have decided to open a store at JR Kyoto Isetan’s “Sweets Festival”.
A limited edition menu will also be available using Mont Blanc from our sister brand, Waguri Saori, which has stores in Kiyamachi and JR Kyoto Isetan.
Please come to the venue.
■“GARIGUETTE” brand concept
・Brand message
I once dreamed of it when I was a child
I want to have the whole cake all to myself.
It’s almost like that longing
A big round mille-feuille
Let’s stuff our cheeks with our big mouths

This brand is particular about making mille-feuille, a traditional sweet that originated in France, freshly baked and made using a unique manufacturing method.
We wanted people to easily enjoy the combination of the crispy texture of pie, fresh homemade custard, and juicy fruit, so we came up with a unique round shape and process that gives it a live feel.
The process of making the products right in front of the customer’s eyes after receiving the order creates a fragrant and surprising experience.
In addition, the brand name “GARIGUETTE” comes from the French word for strawberry variety, and comes from the fact that the
representative product “Napoleon” is a freshly baked pie topped with strawberries all over.
Please stuff your cheeks with your big mouth.
・Pie dough finished with an original press machine
The puff pastry, inspired by mille-feuille, is baked in an original press at high temperatures for a short time to create a fragrant aroma and light texture.
・Homemade custard cream
We are particular about melt-in-your-mouth texture and freshness, and we only make what we will use that day in our in-store kitchen. It is carefully cooked every morning with carefully selected milk, butter, and fresh eggs, giving the millepresse a deep, rich flavor. ■Special lineup only for special events
