Get to know the sweets of the world,
and you begin to see how people live in each place.

Sweetlore is an encyclopedia that gathers sweets from around the world
along with the knowledge and culture surrounding them.
It covers everything from flavors, ingredients, and how they are made
to the origins of their names, the occasions when they are eaten, and regional differences.
Using a single sweet as a starting point,
we trace the ways of life behind it.

Look up a name that has caught your interest,
or discover a sweet you have never known before.
From curiosity about sweets,
the joy of learning about the world grows.
Cafe & Sweets Parade Kyoto, a pastry shop in Fushimi, Kyoto, will continue to weave together just such an encyclopedia.

Do you have gluten-free sweets made without wheat flour?

Yes. We offer sweets made without wheat flour, such as madeleines made with rice flour. However, they are made in the same kitchen as products that use wheat flour. If you have a wheat allergy or need to strictly avoid wheat, please consult our staff before purchasing.

Do you use additives such as preservatives or emulsifiers?

We do not add preservatives or colorings when making our sweets.

Some of our baked goods (such as madeleines and chocolat) use baking powder to help the batter rise. In addition, ingredients we purchase, such as chocolate, may contain additives such as emulsifiers that help maintain their quality.

To see the ingredients we use, please check the ingredients listed on each product page.

This cake is sold on an irregular basis.
It is often available on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. We post updates on in-store availability as needed in our Instagram Reels, so please check there.

Can you tell me about allergens in your products?

Whether a product uses egg, wheat flour, peanuts, walnuts, other nuts or dairy products is stated on the allergen list page and on each product’s page.

Peanuts (groundnuts) and walnuts are shown separately from “other nuts” such as almonds.

Points of caution other than the items above, such as sesame, gelatin and honey, are written in the “Notes” section of each product. However, not all allergens are listed. For assortments such as gift boxes, the ingredients of each sweet included are listed under [Ingredients] on the product page.

If you have any questions, please ask our in-store staff or call us (075-644-4118) before purchasing.

Do any of your products contain alcohol?

Yes. We mainly use liquor in the following sweets:

• Canelé de Bordeaux (rum)
• Galette Bretonne (with rum)
• Madeleine au Chocolat (with liqueur: Grand Marnier)

The Galette Bretonne and the Madeleine au Chocolat are also available in “without rum” and “without liqueur” versions, respectively, made without liquor.

▼Gift boxes

Even in baked sweets, a small amount of alcohol may remain. Children, pregnant women, people sensitive to alcohol and anyone who will be driving should take care.

For seasonal products, please check the “Notes” section on the allergen list page.

Is there parking?

The shop does not have its own dedicated parking lot. If you are coming by car, please use one of the paid coin-operated parking lots nearby.
If you are coming by train, the shop is about a 4-minute walk from Fushimi-Momoyama Station on the Keihan Main Line and about a 5-minute walk from Momoyama-Goryomae Station on the Kintetsu Line.

Items may sell out after a post. If you want to be sure to get something, please call us (075-644-4118).

Do the 2 types of lemon cake differ in how they should be stored and how long they keep?

Yes. The lemon cake with icing must be kept refrigerated and keeps until the end of the day of purchase. The lemon cake without icing can be stored at room temperature and keeps for approximately 7 days from the date of manufacture. Please prioritize the date shown on the label of the product you have.

How long do baked-goods gifts keep, and how should I store them?

As a guideline, baked-goods gifts keep for about 2 weeks from the date of manufacture. Please store them in a cool place, away from direct sunlight and high temperature and humidity. The exact date is printed on the back of each individual sweet.

What payment methods can I use in store?

▼In store

What kind of cream puff is the Oven-Baked Cream Puff?

It is our classic cream puff: a crisp cookie-crust choux generously filled with a rich cream that combines fresh cream with custard made using “Sakura” eggs from a purely Japanese chicken breed.
It must be kept refrigerated; please eat it on the day of purchase. We also offer a caramel-flavored version, the “Oven-Baked Caramel Cream Puff.”
For details, please see the Oven-Baked Cream Puff product page.

What Are Meringue Cookies?

Meringue cookies are sweets made by baking and drying meringue, which is egg white and sugar whipped together. At Parade, we use kibi sugar (Japanese cane sugar) and finish them with a light texture: a crisp first bite, then an airy, fizzy melt in your mouth.

What kind of sweet is a sablé diamant?

True to its name, which means “diamond” in French, this is a sablé coated with sugar that sparkles around the outside. For the sugar coating, we use vanilla sugar that we make by hand in our shop from vanilla bean pods.
It keeps for about 3 weeks. Please store it in a cool place, away from direct sunlight, high temperatures and humidity. It is also included in our baked goods gift boxes.
For details, please see the Sablé Diamant product page.

Is the Galette Bretonne available both with and without rum?

Yes. It is available both with rum and without rum. The individually sold Galette Bretonne contains rum. The rum-free version is included in our gift boxes. Please contact the store to ask whether it can be purchased individually.

What kind of sweet is a Linzer torte?

The Linzer torte is a sweet associated with Linz, Austria, combining a nut pastry with jam. At Parade, we layer a cinnamon-scented pastry, almond batter and our house-made framboise (raspberry) jam, and bake them together.

What baked goods can I choose as a gift (temiyage) from Fushimi?

We offer Gifts M and L, assortments of our classic baked goods; Gift S, with sweets made with rice flour; and a gift that includes honey from Kyoto Higuchi Apiary. You can choose based on the number of pieces, the ingredients, and the recipient’s preferences. As a guideline, the baked goods keep for about 2 weeks from the date of manufacture.

How do the gift boxes differ by type?

They differ in the types and number of sweets they contain.
・Classic Baked Goods Gift Box M [9 types, 9 items]: 2 types of sablé (12 pieces each), Galette Bretonne, 3 types of madeleine, financier, Sésame Matcha, Boule de Neige Chocolat
・Classic Baked Goods Gift Box L [9 types, 15 items]: 2 types of sablé (12 pieces each), Galette Bretonne (2 each without rum and with rum), Honey Madeleine, Madeleine Chocolat (without liqueur), financier, Sésame Matcha, Boule de Neige Chocolat
・[Gluten-Free] Gift Box [S]: 4 Honey Madeleines, 2 Madeleine Chocolat (without liqueur), 2 Sésame Matcha, 2 Boule de Neige Chocolat
・Gift Box [M] with Higuchi Bee Farm: 8 classic baked goods in 7 types, plus Wildflower Honey (160 g) from Kyoto Higuchi Bee Farm
The sweets made with liquor are the Galette Bretonne (with rum) in the L box and the Madeleine Chocolat (with liqueur) in the M box. For full details, please see the list of gift boxes.

What kinds of honey, eggs and chocolate do you use?

The ingredients we use vary by product. Our main ingredients are as follows.
• Honey: Purely Japanese honey from Higuchi Apiary in Fushimi, Kyoto (Honey Madeleine, Caramelized Honey Canelé, etc.)
• Eggs: “Sakura” eggs from purely Japanese-bred hens (Oven-Baked Cream Puff, Canelé de Bordeaux, Honey Madeleine, etc.)
• Chocolate: Chocolate from Valrhona of France (Madeleine Chocolat, etc.)
• Butter: Cultured butter (Brown Butter Financier, Galette Bretonne, etc.)
Please check each product page for that product’s ingredients.

Is there an ideal temperature or way to warm the sweets so they taste their best?

Depending on the product, there are recommended ways to enjoy it.
• Canelé de Bordeaux: Warming it for 3–5 minutes in a toaster oven that has not been preheated makes the caramel on the surface crisp, giving it a texture close to freshly baked.
• Brown Butter Financier: Warming it in a toaster oven for about 1–2 minutes gives it a texture and aroma close to freshly baked.
• Linzer Torte: The ideal serving temperature is 5–20°C.
• Lemon Cake (with icing): We recommend letting it sit at room temperature for a little while to enjoy the fluffy texture of the cake, or, in summer, enjoying it chilled straight from the refrigerator.
Toaster ovens heat differently depending on the model, so please keep an eye on the sweets while warming them to avoid burning.

How many people do Size 4, Size 5 and Size 6 whole cakes serve?

Parade’s “Decoration Cake with Fresh Cream and Seasonal Fruit” serves approximately 3–4 people in Size 4, 4–6 people in Size 5 and 6–7 people in Size 6. Please choose a size based on how much will be eaten and whether it will be served together with other sweets.

How long can I carry a cake? Do I need ice packs or an insulated bag?

Please plan on carrying it for about 1 hour. Conditions vary depending on the temperature, the type of cake and how you travel, so if you are planning a long journey, please consult the shop before purchase.

Can I have a message plate or candles added to a birthday cake?

The “Decoration Cake with Fresh Cream and Seasonal Fruit” comes with an original cookie plate and 1 set of 5 candles. A charge applies to candles from the 2nd set onward.

Are the sweets for sharing at work individually wrapped? How many people can a gift serve?

The Classic Baked Goods Gift is an assortment of sweets packed in individual bags. Note, however, that “9 items” does not mean 9 pieces: some items, such as the sablés, contain several pieces in one bag. Please think separately about how many people you are giving to and how many bags you want to give each person.

What is the difference between a financier and a madeleine?

Generally, a financier is characterized by the flavors of egg whites, almonds, and browned butter, while a madeleine is typically based on a batter made with whole eggs. At Cafe & Sweets Parade Kyoto, we offer the Brown Butter Financier and a madeleine made with rice flour and honey.

Do canelés taste better warmed? How do you recommend eating them?

If you warm Parade’s Canelé de Bordeaux for about 3 to 5 minutes in a toaster oven that has not been preheated, the caramel on the surface becomes crisp, and you can enjoy a texture and aroma close to freshly baked. Because heating varies by model, please keep an eye on it while it warms.

Can cakes and baked goods be frozen?

Because ingredients and finishing differ from product to product, we do not state that all cakes and baked goods can be frozen under the same conditions. Please first check each product’s storage instructions and date label. If you plan to freeze a product, please consult the shop before purchasing and tell us the product name.

What is the difference between sablés, cookies and galettes?

“Cookie” is a name for a wide range of baked goods. “Sablé” is used as a name describing a texture that crumbles softly like sand, and “galette” is used for sweets with a flat shape, among other things. Parade’s Galette Bretonne is a thick-baked cookie made with butter.

Can I get paper bags, small bags for sharing or gift wrapping?

In store, paper bags, plastic bags, bags for baked goods and gift wrapping are available for a fee. Prices vary by type and size. Please let us know how many you need and any wrapping requests before purchase.
