Who is the creator of such adorable sweets?

I was expecting to meet a lovely lady who is creating such adorable sweets! I guess most people assume that.

However unexpectedly, it was a cool guy who creates these sweets as well as being the owner of the store.

Above: Patissier/ owner Mr. Satoru Kimura. Before opening this store, he has unique working experiences such as being a chef at a Chinese restaurant and a construction worker.

He says “when he decided to open the store he hadn’t heard of any other such store in Japan. I thought it may be a very rare specialty store which has vegetable dessert-in-a-glass products.

There are abundant farm products in Sanjo city. Especially the Shitada area which is situated between mountains, and this area produces excellent and delicious vegetables.

Using these tasty vegetables, I wanted to create nutritional sweets which children who are not good at vegetables will say ‘it’s delicious!’.”

Mr.Kimura is conscious of, if his sweets are “attractive to females or not”. Therefore, his designs have been made this in mind and are very attractive visually.

With the thought of the natural colors and shapes of the food ingredients and of the balance when the different items are layered, he creates sweets which are very delicate and beautiful to look at.

Not only the visual design, careful thought is put into their balance, texture and flavor. This is probably the secret of his sweets which have grabbed the hearts of many female customers.

Mr. Kimura said he has some emotional connection with the names of his sweets. Each has a unique name such as Jeana, Chloe, Emma. What are the meanings he had in his mind?

“Each item was named after a foreign girl’s name. I have associated each name with a character.

One day I want to publish a picture book with these sweets as the main characters based upon the Shitada area in Sanjo city.”

He has already started talking with a Niigata-based illustrator about publishing the picture book. Mr. Kimura’s ideas go beyond just selling sweets to new challenges.

There are abundant tasty and healthy sweets available out on the streets.

But his vegetable sweet-in-a-glass is so unique and very photogenic. Please look forward to the forthcoming development at Kall will store!
