just like yesterday's Mojito, everybody here at Shojin is
creating something new everyday :)

Kimiko san decided to make some pot sticker today (even the
outer side of it is hand made!!) So it's all natural and organic!!
It is very moist and juicy inside out!!
We might try to put this on our fall menu!
So please wait until then♪

Oh, don't get me wrong. We are not using actual rum though...
We are making them with lots of flavors and love :)
And it is very very stylish as well!

new dessert☆baked sweet potato cake


Since our new big seller, sweet potato and carrot cheesecake was
really complicated, I decided to remake it simpler,
using only sweet potato and a little bit of orange.

It's improved and you can enjoy deeper flavor of sweet potato :)
hope everybody can get to try them!!!

new dessert☆creme brulee


My dessert menu is in a process of changing :)
I added Creme brulee this time!!
I didn't add any special flavor this time,
but I used a lots of organic vanilla beans!!

Creme brulee is simple and traditional dessert, yet very amusing!
Just like Aamelie,
I love love to tap the hard caramel on top the brulee with spoon!!
You don't have to give up on that fun part just because you don't
eat eggs or cream (which are the main ingredients for the original recipe!)
Cuz We make it all the way with vegan/macrobiotic ingredients.
come and try :D
