From our sister site Ashitsu’s article Cakes from “Henri Charpentier Ashiya Main Store” (near Hanshin Ashiya Station) [Ashitsu Gourmet]
Henri’s cakes are so good, aren’t they♪
Their headquarters are in Nishinomiya on Sakagura-dori, but the main store is in Ashiya.
Their financiers sell like crazy too. This is the Valentine’s Day chocolate version✨
The correct answer is d. 94 stores!
That’s quite a lot, isn’t it kind of surprising?
There are 31 stores in the Kansai area and 32 in the Kanto area.
Apparently, the Ginza Maison store sells a limited-edition item called “Ginza Maison Henri Charpentier’s Napoleon Pie”!! It’s a strawberry mille-feuille.
And it looks like it’ll also be sold for a limited time at Tokyo Station from today (11/23) through December 15✨
Details for the Tokyo Station shops
