At first glance, Minamoto Kichoan is less a bakery than it is a gallery of edible art. Avant-garde treats include cherries suspended in glass-like jelly molds and maccha-dusted mochi, though the true piece de resistance is the momosayaka. Beneath its delicate origami paper packaging, you’ll find a glossy pink dome of floral, slightly tart peach jelly enveloping one half of a sweet white peach. It’s an imaginative, refreshing and practically sinless way to do dessert. Dine in and enjoy your momosayaka with a cup of green tea, or pop it in the freezer at home for a sorbet-like summer treat.
