Frédéric Cassel has released a collection themed around "Fraise des Bois," a strawberry beloved by the French.

Frédéric Cassel's inspiration changes every month, focusing on ingredients and exploring the depth of French confectionery. This time, there are four varieties: the familiar "Mille-feuille Finger," as well as "Macaron," "Saint-Honoré," and "Petit Merveille," a petit meringue gateau. The lineup includes "Mille-feuille Finger Fraise des Bois" (756 yen including tax), a layer of caramelized feuilletage, champagne ganache, coulis, mascarpone cream, and white chocolate; "Saint-Honoré Fraise des Bois" (756 yen including tax), a choux pastry filled with Grand Marnier-scented custard cream and topped with coulis and vanilla-scented Chantilly cream; "Petit Merveilles Fraise des Bois" (3 pieces/648 yen including tax), a crispy meringue pastry topped with fromage blanc cream and coulis and covered in a white chocolate shell; and "Macaron Fraise des Bois" (260 yen including tax), in which the tartness of fraise des bois stands out against the soft sweetness of vanilla ganache. You can feel Frederic Cassel's unique spirit as he adds new twists to traditional sweets through the shape, composition, and combination of ingredients.
