Located inside the M3 exit of the CNR, Tanuki Xiaolu has been popular all over Taiwan since its origins in Tainan. I had long wanted to try it when I went to Tainan, but unfortunately due to scheduling issues, I ended up going to Riverbed Dessert and missed it. Now it finally has a branch at Taipei Main Station. ~ Tanukikoji’s signature products, in addition to the layer cake, the clerk said that the naked cake, the first snow cake and the King Gosan-yaki are also their popular products, and all the cakes are provided by the same central kitchen as the Tainan main store, so the taste There shouldn’t be much difference, so you can feel free to taste it! The store also displays and sells cookie gift boxes from Mr. Crocodile, another brand of the same group. The price is not too expensive, and the exquisite and cute packaging is also suitable as a souvenir or as a snack for yourself~
Having said so much, I still have to eat the Thousand Layers for the first time🤣
The current discount is 20 off for two pieces (equal to -10 per piece), and 80 off for four pieces (equal to -20 for each piece), which is very suitable for group purchases!
This time I ordered Shizuoka Matcha and Lychee Rose. Since it is a takeout-only store, you can only eat it in a nearby public dining area or take it home to enjoy. However, Tanukikoji’s takeout bags are super cute and the colors are really good. It suits my aesthetics, so I’ll give it a bigger score😍
The lychee rose is quite special. The rose smells very fragrant. I am not sure whether there is any fragrance used, but it is not so fragrant that it is uncomfortable. For the lychee part, in addition to the light sweetness of the lychee, lemon juice should also be added. The sourness of the fruit is increased, making the taste more layered. Overall, it is delicious and not greasy. The ratio of fresh cream to crust is also just right, and the taste is perfect.
The taste of Shizuoka Matcha is different from the common Matcha Melaleuca. It retains the slight bitterness and fragrance of Matcha. It is not made to be sweet. When you first eat it, you are not used to it. You will feel that the presence of Matcha powder sprinkled on it is fresher than Matcha. The cream is strong, but once I got used to it, I found it quite delicious. However, in comparison, I felt it was a bit monotonous at the end of the meal, so it’s suitable for sharing with friends~
Next time I want to try the apple flavored millet.
