Dominique Ansel Bakery Omotesando

After conquering New York, where else would Dominique Ansel go? The inventor of the Cronut and winner of Time Out New York's 'Best New Bakery' award in 2012 is finally bringing his show to Tokyo. After a stint at Fauchon in Paris and a gig as the executive pastry chef for NYC's Michelin-starred Daniel, the charismatic but now-controversial Ansel broke the bank with his croissant-donut hybrid, saw his SoHo bakery swamped with ravenous sweets fiends day after day, overcame some overly enthusiastic health inspectors and rode into the sunset – only to find himself in the gourmet capital of the world in June 2015. The first Japan-exclusive cronut will be Hokkaido Milk Honey Ganache with Yuzu Lemon Cream – Harajuku's divinely patient sugar-addicts are already licking their chops.
