Mont Blanc (or Mon-buran in Japanese) is extremely popular in Japan that there are cake shops devoted entirely to variations of this chestnut cream cake. Imported from Japan, this Mont Blanc has a soft layer of sponge cake as base, topped with a pillowy mound of whipped cream with hidden red bean in the center which is all then finished with tall spaghetti-thin strands of green tea cream. Made with the finest matcha, Uji, from Kyoto, it provides not only a wonderful natural green color but the subtle bitter taste of green tea always provides the perfect contrast to the sweetness of a cake.
