SunnyHills at Minami-Aoyama

Omotesando is full of dazzling architecture, but this wooden building somehow manages to slip underneath many a visitor’s radar; all the more reason to treasure it. It was designed by Kengo Kuma, and houses a branch of Taiwan's famed SunnyHills, a chain of pineapple cake shops. The pineapple cakes here are as good as any you'll find in Taipei apparently, but come with a pricetag to match.
