$43.52 $68 In stock

Our Black-Sesame Gâteau Basque features lush, sweet-salty Japanese black-sesame paste, complemented by our naturally nutty-tasting Costa Esmeraldas, Ecuador chocolate. Lisa and her team craft silky Costa Esmeraldas chocolate pastry cream, and emulsify it with roasty Kuki black-sesame paste from Yokkaichi City, Japan, creating a velvety filling. They bake the smooth filling into a tender chocolate crust — and the resulting crumbly-creamy textures and savory-sweet aromas make for a unique, decadent dessert.

Avery ★★★★★

I had this with coffee yesterday and the way the black sesame paste balances with the chocolate is perfect. The filling is just the right amount of sweet and salty.

Chloe Y. ★★★★★

The black sesame paste is genuinely savory-sweet, not just sugary, and it plays really well against the chocolate. I cut my slice thinner than usual because it's so rich, and it still felt like plenty.

Owen J. ★★★★★

The Ecuador chocolate layer caught me off guard, it's nuttier than I expected and keeps the whole slice from being too sweet. Texture is silky and dense, almost like a baked custard. I've already ordered a second one.
