If you’re a Ghibli’s fan thinking of visiting Japan, one of the places where you should definitely visit is Shiro-hige’s Cream Puff Factory, in Setagaya (Tokyo). Setagaya is a residential area near Shinjuku popular for its more bohemian and retro-style coffee shops and stores in Shimo Kitazawa.
there’s only one bakery in the world with official permission to make sweets (cream puff, cookies, cakes, etc) with the shape of Totoro, one of the most iconic and popular characters of Studio Ghibli.
It’s a small building but it has two floors. On the ground floor is the shop and the bakery where they make the sweets (cookies, cakes, etc.). You can buy your Totoro here and take it home or anywhere else. They pack it carefully inside a box for take out. But if you can’t resist the urge to try these famous cream puffs, you can savor them on the second floor of the cafe while sipping a delicious coffee or tea. And on sunny days and in good weather, there’s also a terrace on the ground floor outside the store.

It is quite normal to stick to the contents of the cream puffs. From the reverse idea of "I want to make the outer choux dough more delicious", a croccan choux dough with a new crunchy texture was born. Because we want to deliver the freshly baked taste, we serve everything baked at a store integrated with a workshop.
How to eat:
The crunchy texture of the freshly baked croccan shoe stands out when you enjoy it immediately after purchase. If you take it home, warm it as shown below to restore the texture.
