Also on the second floor of Namjatown was the Desserts Forest, a large section with several different shops. |
|
The largest shop was dedicated to this limited time Mont Blanc Dessert Exposition. |
|
Here was a nice little edible scene. |

More delicious dessert shops. I really wanted to try one of these custard pots but I was way too full from all the gyoza. |

These two cases were the central focus of the Mont Blanc Exhibit. You could try any of these items, but there were a limited number so they would run out through the course of the day. |
|
I liked this dessert b/c it is made to look like Zaru-Soba, which is cold buckwheat noodles that have been drained on a bamboo rack. |

This was the open self-serve Mont Blanc refrigerator where you could pick whatever miscellaneous desserts you wanted. |

I chose this marron (chestnut) sponge roll for ¥420. It was ok, but didn't have that much flavor so I wasn't impressed. |
|
I have no idea what this was and couldn't tell from it's flavor, which was almost non-existant. This one was definitely not worth ¥520. |
