Why look at that, Japan is celebrating Ultra Despair Month, too! Well not really, but it’s a great coincidence that Patisserie Swallowtail is offering two rad Danganronpa-inspired cakes during the month of September. The sweets shop, which specializes in collaboration items for anime, manga, and game series popular with women, is located in Shibuya Marui on the 8th floor. If you happen to be in the area between September 9th to the 23rd, here’s what you could pick up:
The Monokuma cake is ¥750 (about $7) and contains white chocolate mousse and raspberry jelly. Yum!
The Monomi cake is also ¥750 and contains cream cheese mousse and passion cream.
Every cake purchase comes with a limited edition Danganronpa coaster:
Usually collaboration drinks are what come with coasters, but I certainly wouldn’t complain if I got one of those neat designs! Of course, which coaster you’re given when you order is random, but I’d have my eye on the Nagito or square Monomi one.
If you’re like me and have no hope of ever making it to Japan in time for this awesome collaboration, you can follow Patisserie Swallowtail on Twitter and drool over all of their various adorable creations there.
I do like the thought of passion (fruit?) flavored things like in the Monomi cake, but the chocolate mousse in the Monokuma cake would be too hard to pass up! I’m so tempted to buy a custom made coaster from somewhere else and tape a printout of Monomi to it now….
You know I had to think long and hard about whether the flavor in the Monomi cake is passionfruit, but I’m not 100% sure! I don’t usually see passionfruit shortened to “passion” in Japanese, but maybe they did that to sound cool… Otherwise I have no idea what flavor it would be, ha ha
You could almost print out the coaster designs above and make your own at home!
