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.
More than whether or not you have experience, we value how you approach sweets and people.
People who want to pursue their dreams in earnest.
People who want to practice their craft in the world of sweets for a long time and in depth.
We sincerely hope to meet someone like you.
If you are even a little interested, please come and visit our shop.

All You Need to Know
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
“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.
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.
