In the world of sweet bakes and desserts, Japanese confections can satisfy both the sweet tooth and the eye. A fantastic example is Japanese chocolate cream, namelaka, which rivals the renowned ganache. Japanese shu cream is another.

hollow

意味　穴, 空洞, 中空.

Alongside this subtle texture difference, there’s a more evident contrast in the flavors and shapes available in Japanese shu cream pastries. The classic French choux à la crème typically fills its hollow pastry puff with a simple custard filling. Japanese shu cream is available in popular flavors such as matcha and green tea, as well as worldwide favorites such as coffee, chocolate, and peanut butter, and fruit flavors like strawberry and blueberry.

In addition to the green-infused flavors, other notable varieties include salted chocolate, boiled wheat, brulee, and honey butter. The flavor of a shu cream is only limited by the baker’s imagination, and new tastes and unconventional flavor combinations are not uncommon.

Yokohama, among the initial ports to open up to foreign trade, swiftly emerged as a cosmopolitan center for foreign ingredients and cuisine. During this period, French-born Samuel Pierre opened a French-inspired bakery in Yokohama. His introduction of choux à la crème to the region exploded, and bakers from all corners of Japan came to train and learn. This is believed to be the inspiration for the shu cream enjoyed by so many today.
