The patisserie "Éclat des Jours" opened in Toyosu, Tokyo in June 2020. "Éclat des Jours" is a coined word meaning "glorious days" in French, and was named with the hope that our sweets will accompany our customers on their special days and everyday moments, and add color to their memorable "glorious days." The concept of Éclat des Jours' sweets is "freshness," "melting texture," and "smoothness." Based on the techniques and flavors that owner chef Yohei Nakayama acquired through his training in France, we value textures that are familiar to Japanese people and easy to eat. We aim to bring out the maximum flavor of the ingredients themselves while adding contrast to simple compositions. Our goal is to be a comprehensive patisserie. We offer a wide range of products, including entremets (whole cakes), petit gateaux (individual cakes), baked goods such as buttery madeleines and cookies, breads such as baguettes and croissants baked in-store every morning, and chocolates and jams that decorate our display cases. In the future, we also plan to expand our product lineup to include small gifts for everyday use and for relaxing at home. While cherishing French traditions, we are always challenging ourselves with new flavors, and hope to remain a patisserie that is loved by our customers for a long time.
