At the end of the year, we decided to buy sweets to thank those who have helped us.

Now, where should we go? I would like to go to a place where I can go on my way to the prefectural library.

(Searching on the internet) Whoa! I found a nice-looking shop! I was excited and headed here.

Lutecia is located in Kami-omie, Chuo-ku, Niigata City.

From the outside, it gives off an extremely stylish atmosphere.

As it was my first time driving there, I didn't know where it was at first, so I went straight and passed the shop, which made a dent. When I managed to get to the shop, despite the rain, there was a steady stream of cars in the parking lot. Moreover, the traffic maintenance staff near the entrance had a wonderful smile! I was excited all at once. I couldn't stop being excited even before entering the shop!

Nervous and excited by the somewhat stylish atmosphere, we went inside the restaurant.

Wow, it's like being abroad! White-based walls, high ceilings, cakes in the showcase. And the beautiful waitresses (laughs).

The counter wall is like a mirror, which is also stylish! What's more, you need to book at least a week in advance for a whole cake.

We were told that there was also an eat-in area in the shop, but it was closed.

Oh, no. I forgot what I came here for. I had decided in advance what I was going to buy by looking at the website.

It is here.

Croissant rusks! Bread lovers have been scared off. The darker colour is chocolate.

There are two flavours: brown sugar and chocolate. The brown sugar croissant rusks are introduced in this issue.

The moment you eat it, the calm sweetness of the brown sugar slowly seeps through. Then the rich flavour of the croissant spreads softly.

They are made with brown sugar from Okinawa. The texture is crispy, but the flavour seems to have more depth than that of French bread rusks.

This looks very tasty!

OK! Now we'll try the cake!

 A diverse range of French pastries, including cakes, baked goods, macaroons and chocolates.

You will definitely feel happy just by going there! Perfect for a little gift or a treat for yourself.
