Night Scenefeeling too skinny??? get a choco cro six pack ;))
this cafe has some cozy sofas, although its always so busy, u might not get one...but no worries, u can get a six pack of choco cros to go with and enjoy them in the comfort of ur own home, or wherever u are staying :)))
st-marc cafe, french style, started in harajuku 2002 :)) it has already made its way to the major cities in japanese, including kobe, gladly enough :D
so what is a choco cro????? well this is what they tell us*
` one day, a little dog, came to a little house with a triangle roof. the dog who is loved by everybody receives guests warmly with a four-leaf clover and a delicious croissant named as he is called.....choco cro :))`
might be hard to believe that a doggie invented such a great delicacy from france in japan....but hey, we must not deny the power of evolution!!!! vive les chiens japonais!!!! choco cros (130yen a piece) are the best of its kind in japan, where we europeans have sometimes hard time finding bakeries that match the refined tastes of pastries and chocolate ....i love the pain au chocolat in france, and the japanese interpretations are well....ummm....nothing near it, with some brown-coloured pudding inside thats pretending to be chocolate.
even though more sweet than the french originals, the choco cro is close enough to take one back to those heavenly parisian mornings of espressos and pains au chocolat :)))
