Pantler

This famous creation by pastry chef Tomoharu Morita, formerly of Joël Robuchon, has garnered quite a reputation for its delectable balance of creaminess and sweetness. The former comes from its soft and moist base, slathered with vanilla dacquoise, while the natural sweetness is from the strawberry gelee and the premium Japanese Chitose strawberries that crown this classic bake.
