The duck and I don’t eat out much these days. Therefore, daydreaming about all the nice things we ate in the past has become one of our favorite pastimes. Recently, with the summer heat keeping us from sleeping through the night sometimes, we’ve started craving a big serving of sorbet – which is best enjoyed together with a friend, ideally after a day of exploring nice gardens, a pretty exhibition (we were lucky to see one featuring Kawawa Chizuru’s lovely Nyangyohime, cat fish princess, watercolors – and going by what we did last week, you can bet how thrilled we were!) and lovely old neighborhoods, as we did about two years ago when we took a rest at Brigela with our favorite Ginza guide! As the name suggests, this shop’s main attraction is ice cream hugged by a fluffy brioche. So, of course, that’s what we got! The duck and I went with two sorbet flavors: melon and pineapple (I think). We were a bit worried about whether the sorbet would work inside a milky, buttery brioche, but, I don’t know what we worried for! This was definitely the most refreshing and one of the most delicious snacks the duck and I have tasted in Japan! 5/5 cat fish princesses for the delicious sorbet brioche and the wonderful company ❤
Talking about cat fish princesses: Do an image search for 猫魚姫 on your favorite search engine, if you like, to see what all the hype is about! We got to chat with Kawawa Chizuru at her solo exhibition and she was truly lovely. The duck and I need to study some more Japanese so that, one day, we can casually check her website to see what’s new.
“ We were a bit worried about whether the sorbet would work inside a milky, buttery brioche.” LOL this was super cute. It is just that you and you duck are perfect pals. And this is such a cool idea of sorbet in a brioche. Was it better than an ice cream sandwich ?

Thanks for your wonderful comment!
Well, since the duck and I don’t do so well with cream, I prefer a sorbet filled brioche (sorbet is just so refreshing if it’s really hot). The duck, however, likes living dangerously and therefore prefers ice cream sandwiches (but only those with dark cookie wafers – they’re the best part!)

Ahhhh, YOUR DUCK IS ADORBS!! The only thing I am scared about ice cream sandwiches is that the cream might fall and then I am only left with the wafers, but whenever I eat it I always feel guilty and like a couch potato.

I don’t think you should feel guilty about it. ‘Happy’ is what I’d go with!
