Patisserie Apareil.Commitment to making sweets at
The second floor of the store is used as a workshop.
（Please note that cakes are not normally sold here.They may be used for events such as Christmas cake delivery.）
The chef patissier, Hitomi Watanabe, makes her special sweets in this workshop.
In fact, the Ann’s store on the first floor was founded 35 years ago by Ms. Watanabe’s mother.
Hitomi was originally a cook with experience working in restaurants, but one day she received a request to make sweets using ingredients from Ann’s restaurant, so she began making sweets as well.
At first, they converted their home into a workshop and wholesaled to Ann’s store and other customers.
After 10 years of this style, in October 2013, we set up a full-fledged workshop on the second floor of Anne’s store and started our business as “Patisserie Apareil.The workshop is located on the second floor of Anne’s shop and is now called “Patisserie Apareil.
The restaurant’s name “appareil” is a French culinary term meaning ” liquid dough mixed with eggs and milk.
Specifically, it is the kind of dough that is poured into puddings, quiches, and tarts.
The literal translation also means “something prepared” or “a trick”.
The name of the store is stylish and nice, just like a candy shop!
I named her after my grandmother because I wanted a name that would be easy for her to remember.
Since the first letter is the first word in the alphabet, we also hope that it will catch the attention of many people.
The approach to the pastries made by Patisserie Apareil.The commitment to the pastries made by the company’s pastry chefs, from the selection of ingredients to production and utensils, shows their seriousness.

・Milk: 100% fresh, raw milk from Ebetsu Kobayashi Farm, which is produced from the soil.
・Flour…Several kinds of Hokkaido wheat are used according to the type of pastry to be made.
・Rice flour: Specially grown Oborozuki and Yumepirika from Shinshinotsu-mura, Hokkaido, and Nanatsuboshi from Hokkaido are used according to the type of pastry to be made.

＊Manufacturing Commitment＊

Your attention to detail is very thorough!
By the way, did you also make cakes for allergy sufferers from the beginning?
No, we didn’t have that many requests for allergy-friendly cakes in the beginning.
It was a gradual increase…
Currently, half of the cakes we order are allergy cakes.
Her mother, the founder of Anne’s, passed on her passion for safe and secure food to Hitomi’s pastry making…So the patisserie is now appreciated not only by those who want something good for their health, but also by those who suffer from allergies.
Lastly…Hitomi’s own favorite appareil.Please tell us about three products!
(Sorry for the annoying question)
Yes…
One is not gluten free but I like the “coffee pie”.
Next would be the “Gateau Chocolat Classic”, followed by the “Basque Cheesecake”.
Coffee Pie, I have purchased it before at an event.
The bitterness was delicious for coffee lovers!
If you are OK with wheat, give it a try.
＊coffee pie＊（one¥380）
The pie dough is folded with fermented butter and unsalted butter made from Hokkaido wheat and Tokachi raw milk, and coffee cookies blended with powdered coffee beans blended by Iwata Coffee in Iwata, Iwaijima, are layered and baked. The cookies are baked in layers.

This is a larger photo of the cake.All three items below are gluten-free.
At the back is the “Gateau Chocolat Classic Mini” made with organic chocolate and rich fermented butter from Hokkaido.
Although it may look heavy, when you put a fork in it, it is very light and melts smoothly in your mouth.It is moderately and elegantly sweet and rich in chocolate.I sliced it and froze it at home, but it is so good that it will soon be gone.
In the foreground, left, is the “Rice Flour Carrot Cake,” which is wheat- and milk-free.
The cake is filled with grated organic carrots (grown in Bihoro, Hokkaido at the time of our visit) and flavored with walnuts, raisins, cinnamon, and rosemary.The top is covered with coconut frosting cream.
The natural sweetness of carrots and slightly sweet and sour raisins are combined with just the right amount of spice.
Neither the raisins nor the spices were too assertive, as if they were enhancing the deliciousness of the carrots.
I thought the combination of rosemary and sweets was unusual for me personally.
I was convinced when I tried it!I love the soft and discreet aroma.
Finally, the “Hokkaido Basque Cheesecake” on the right in the foreground.
A moist and smooth cheesecake with a hint of Okhotsk salt.The texture was soft and not too plump because of the rice flour.The delicious salt accentuates the taste and gives it a great depth of flavor.
