Kiqchi

At Kiqchi, the choux pastries are a tempting choice for anyone drawn to their cream filling. Visitors have described the cream as flavourful, gently sweet and not too rich. Alongside the plain version, some have tried Earl Grey and cheese varieties; ordering more than one could be a good way to compare them. Another visitor enjoyed a version combining custard and whipped cream, and mentioned scooping up the filling with the pastry lid.

Beyond the choux pastries, chiffon cake and roll cake are also worth considering. Visitors have praised the chiffon’s soft, moist texture. One person who took home Earl Grey chiffon and a plain choux pastry particularly enjoyed the cake’s fine crumb. Whether you’re in the mood for a light sponge or a treat centred on cream, there are options to suit. Tart choices reported by visitors include chocolate with caramel and walnuts, as well as seasonal combinations featuring Dainagon azuki beans and cheese, or pumpkin. Seasonal offerings vary, so the same flavours may not always be available, but they add variety alongside the regular cakes. Tiramisu has also won over visitors looking for something different from a choux pastry.

Customers ordering whole cakes have praised their birthday designs and generous size. In one case, a customer discussed decorations based on a cake displayed in the shop. Not every request can necessarily be accommodated, so check when placing an order. This is a takeaway-only pastry shop, with no dine-in service. Kiqchi is in Higashimachi, Nishitokyo, and is listed as open from 11:00 to 21:00, with Tuesdays and Wednesdays off.
