Daughter Boutique in Matsugaya specialises in baked goods made without any flour, dairy, eggs or other animal products. The treats here are also free of any artificial ingredients, and are sweetened with natural ingredients like beet sugar and maple syrup instead of refined white sugar. You’ll find a selection of muffins (¥432) that come in flavours including strawberry, banana, blueberry and even spiced carrot with rum infused raisins, as well as tarts (¥972) and brownies (¥594), too.
But the main draw are the cylindrical tubes of cookies (from ¥2,862), each featuring six to ten different flavours based around a common theme. The signature cookie pack has the shop’s standard and most popular flavours including smoky nuts, raspberry, coconut, vegan cheese, pistachio and orangette chocolate sandwich. On the other hand, the yakuzen option has cookies made with ingredients from traditional herbal medicine like ginseng, while the pistachio tube has nothing but cookies with pistachio.
