About this place
Part of the pleasure here is choosing from a selection of tarts made with seasonal fruit. The menu at miel Chihaya also features flavours beyond fruit, including Mont Blanc, chocolate and cappuccino. One customer who took home the melon tart found the custard restrained in sweetness beside the fruit, and the pastry crisp. It is an appealing choice when you want the fruit to take centre stage; another customer was struck by the flavour and aroma of the chestnut tart. If you are undecided, you might try a fruit tart one time and a chestnut one another.
The seasonal selection has included peach, mango and melon in summer; fig and chocolate-banana in autumn; and lemon cheese in spring. With fruit and flavour combinations changing through the year, you can decide what you fancy in advance or see what is available in the shop that day. The whole-tart menu lists fruit tarts in 12, 15, 18 and 21 cm sizes, while Mont Blanc and chocolate tarts are listed in 15, 18 and 21 cm sizes. That makes it possible to choose not only a single serving but also a size suited to the number of people or the occasion.
Some customers have also chosen baked sweets and pound cakes as gifts. One bought a pistachio pound cake for someone else and a half-size black bean cake for themselves, offering a handy example of how to find something for different tastes at once. There is no dine-in service; the shop is for takeaway. Stop by in Chihaya to choose a tart or baked treat to enjoy later.
