Moon Galette
Japanese notation "ムーンガレット"
“Moon Galette” made by “Ariake”, famous for “Yokohama Harbor“, was a delicious pastry with an unexpected flavor that I could not have imagined from the name and appearance of the pastry.
Incidentally, galette is written in French as “galette” and means “a dish baked in a circle,” but in Japan it is often used to refer to a Brittany-style galette made of thinly baked buckwheat flour dough. The letters and moon pattern printed on the surface of the pastry are stylish.
The filling in the galette was surprisingly a combination of sesame, walnut, and soy sauce rice cake.
It was a rather unexpected approach, but the taste was a blend of Japanese and Western flavors that was typical of Yokohama.
