M stands for Marriot Miyako. It also stands for My first
pastry stop in Japan for 2015.
I could not wait longer to have a taste of Japanese pastries
once I touched down in Osaka. The first patisserie on my list was M Boutique
since it was conveniently located at the hotel where I was staying and it was
helmed by an award winning pastry chef in Osaka. Despite being part of a brand
new hotel that is situated right at the 19F of Osaka’s latest landmark, Abeno
Harukas, the price range is highly reasonable and the overall quality is above
average.

The cake which caught me the least expected was this
Agrodolce (540 yen), a pistachio and cherry combination that had a fine crumbly
base. There was no description for the cakes so I could only pick them by
random.
Another one that paid efforts to
vary the texture was this Cassis Chocolat (464 yen). There was no sables but
the crispy chocolate shell proved to an equally delightful substitute that
combined very well with the hazelnut paste and tart cassis compote. Cornflakes
are used instead of sugared almond slices.
Both the Profumo (480 yen) and Ange (497 yen) is no less
sosphisticated but lost the battle because of its sweetness. Profumo is a white
chocolate mousse with hazelnut dacqoise filled with apricot jam. The Ange would
be a cheesecake angel that descend on Earth if not for the limp genoise that is
saddled with a meringue frosting.

Palet D’Or (594 yen) may be the most expensive cake here but
it has justified its worth from an excellent milk coffee mousse with hints of
burnt caramel in the ganache. A must-try if you happen to stay here or is in
the Tennoji area for shopping. Other stuff like chocolates, assorted baked
pastries, confitures are also available.
