A Longtime Fan Since 2005 Picks Up Cakes from Eiji Nitta in Nishinomiya [Nishi-Tsu Gourmet]

A pastry chef who won TV Champion, a 2002 TV show(^^)/I actually watched it back then!

I remember being so happy when I heard that the shop opened in Kitaguchi three years later that I practically skipped over to buy some!

The shop reopened after renovations in 2009, and now it’s packed from end to end with fresh cakes, baked sweets, gelato, and so many things you’ll want to try everything(*^-^*)

I finally bought cakes from 『パティシエ　エイジ・ニッタ』(^^)/

Cakes from 『パティシエ　エイジ・ニッタ』

Ta-da! I ended up buying five of them(^^)/

Strawberry Mille-Feuille　￥540(tax included)

This is the one he made in the final round of TV Champion(^^)/

This upright mille-feuille has layers of cream and jelly sandwiched between crispy pie, giving it a different texture from the more common horizontal-layered version😍

“The sweetness and tartness come one after another, with that crisp texture too… I could eat this foreverrr～”

Mont Blanc　￥470(tax included)

And this Mont Blanc! Under the cream is their popular Nishikita Roll(^^)/

The Nishikita Roll has chestnut, fresh cream, and fluffy castella～

Here’s the cross section↓

“As someone who loves Mont Blancwell, I love all cakes though, I’m thrilled that the base is that Nishikita Roll, one of Eiji Nitta’s signature items! Fluffy chestnut happiness～”

Saint-Honoré Tropique　￥540(tax included)

The base is a cookie, the choux is filled with caramel cream, and inside there’s a tropical fruit-style ganache plus coconut cream!

Here’s the cross section↓

“I’m not that knowledgeable about cake, but this one is complex yet comes together so well! It’s almost like a plated dish～”

Harmonie　￥520(tax included)

This moist chocolate cake apparently has a touch of black tea flavor added(^^)/ The ganache is layered over and over. And the macaron on top makes it even better(*^-^*)

“The chocolate is so rich～ the flavor is so deep～ and then the macaron comes in with a totally different texture～ irresistible for chocolate lovers!!”

Pavlova Citron Pistache　￥580(tax included)

Inside the crisp, delicate meringue cup are lemon mousse, pistachio cream, and wild strawberry jelly(^^)/

Here’s the cross section↓

When I cut it, the meringue cup collapsed(^_^;)

“This is the first time I’ve had such a complex cake～ It’s sweet, but the refreshing lemon keeps it light! So many flavors come chasing after each other～”

Final Thoughts

Eiji Nitta has parking, and it’s also very close to the Kitaguchi station(^^)/

These cakes are something you can only find here, with perfectly calculated harmonies of flavor～ Their birthday whole cakes are excellent too(*^-^*)

Seeing is believing! I really hope you try it at least once～(^_-)-☆ :okay:
