The big, pink signs right at the busy Roppongi Crossing mark the café that has become a sort of landmark in the area. Almond offers a huge variety of baked delicacies and cakes with one of the many highlights being the ever-popular Paris-Brest, or ringushuu, which is basically the Japanese version of the term ring choux.

Ever since its opening in 1952, Almond is known for producing popular, best-selling pastries. The crispy choux is cut in half and filled with delicious cream and custard but the most characteristic thing about this famous pastry is its classic ring shape.
