Miyabi Cafe Jinbocho

Japan's sweets dealers have really perfected the art of the 'hybrid dessert' over the past few years. Perhaps inspired by Dominique Ansel and his Cronut, the folks behind the Kobe-based Miyabi chain tout their eponomyous croissant-bread combo, here served fresh out of the oven six times every day – if you see a queue gathering in front of the shop, you know the time is near. Those not interested in waiting can go for creations like the Miyabi Apple Danish Pastry with Custard (¥200) or the Chocolate Cube (¥250).
