A brand new bakery opened in Tokyo on May 5th. The shop is called Shirohige no shou cream kobo (which means White-bearded’ cream puff workshop).

A perfect opening for Kodomo no Hi (Children’s Day), the shop sells cream puff Totoros and sold out of them in the first ten minutes of opening!

The store has the unique recognition as being the only store officially recognized by Studio Ghibli and is filled with illustrations from Miyazaki Hayao’s nephew.

For those in Tokyo, it is advised to call in advance, since the shop sells a very limited quantity everyday and sell out fast.

I hope this is still open when I finally get out to Japan again- I have a soft spot for Totoro (and sweets!)
