Totoro is the mystical creature from Hayao Miyazaki’s masterpiece My Neighbor Totoro (となりのトトロ). While one might expect to find Totoro in the forest, you’d never expect to find him in the neighbourhood cafe. ^^
These cute cream puffs are made by a small shop “Shirohige no shou cream kobo” in a quiet residential neighborhood of Tokyo. Apparently, it is the only shop officially recognized by Studio Ghibli and sells one type of product only: Totoro cream puff.
These pastries are so popular due to their kawaii outlook that the only way you can get hold of one is if you made a reservation via phone first. The cream puffs comes out fresh from the oven at 11am and they are usually sold out by 11:10am. Only 100 Totoros are baked every single day.
So next time if you drop by Tokyo, Suginami, Takaido-higashi, you might want to check out these Totoro cream puffs.
