Paysage, a sweets brand created by up-and-coming pâtissier Hideki Eto, has opened its first stand-alone premises within the swanky, Kengo Kuma-designed Forestgate Daikanyama complex. Paysage’s new space is imbued with a calm, muted sense of luxury, and offers the chance to see pastry chef d’excellence Eto at work while enjoying his delectable wares.
Eto cut his sweet tooth working at upscale restaurants including Dominique Bouchet Tokyo before launching Paysage in 2021. This debut flagship includes a first-floor boutique offering both eat-in and takeaway customers an extensive lineup of vividly colourful cakes made with seasonal ingredients, as well as fluffily textured sable. This is complemented by an adjacent salon de thé where our recommendation is to indulge in a leisurely afternoon tea (¥7,500).
On the second floor, which is scheduled to open this April, an intimate chef’s table will allow six patrons at a time to join chef Eto as he demonstrates his confectionary creativity.
