Japanese cream puffs are called Shu Cream in Japan. They are always offered at cake stores and we love to buy them because of their great size and perfect amount of sweetness. People really enjoy cream puffs but you can actually cook them at home so easily! I know when cooking desserts, depending on the dessert, you can sometimes fail but today I have a foolproof recipe that even beginners can make perfect every time!

 

What is Shu Cream ( Japanese cream puff ) ?

Shu Cream is a western style dessert that where the cake is empty inside so you can add creamy custard filling. Japanese cream puffs, Shu Cream, came from France but actually originated in Italy. In France, it is called ‘chou à la crème’ and ‘chou’ means cabbage in French because it looks like a cabbage after you bake!

It is common for Shu Cream to use custard inside the cake, but some cake stores or households put Matcha cream, chocolate cream, strawberry cream, or other variations.

Where Can I buy Shu Cream?

In Japan, almost any cake store sells Shu Cream, but if you are in another country, try to go to Japanese Grocery stores. They sometimes have a pastry areas. If you live in a large city like NYC where I live, there are a couple of Japanese pastry stores or cake stores, and they sometimes have Shu Cream!

If you are in the US, please try beard papa! They are a famous Shu Cream store in Japan and there are many stores in the United States.

But I think you should try to cook Shu Cream at home! You would be surprised how easy and quick it is to make Shu Cream.

Wanna try something new😌? When people hear Kit Wanna try something new😌?

When people hear Kitsune don, it sounds weird because if you translate Kitsune, it simply means fox. But wait! Kitsune came from the look of the meal. 

There are some theories for why it is called ‘Kitsune’. One is Aburaage, deep-fried tofu pouch, is one of the fox’s favorite foods in folktales. The other is that Aburaage looks similar to a fox.

This meal is quite easy to make and tasty :) If you want to try a new recipe, this is a good one🤩
