Welcome fall with these grape cakes from Café Comme Ça

1 Comment
By Ben K, grape Japan

Here at grape Japan, you could say we're a bit partial to a certain fruit which is in season at this time of year. Of course, we're talking about our namesake, the grape. Grapes are one of the fruits most associated with fall, and you'll find many varieties in supermarkets. If you visit fruit parlors and specialty shops, you'll also discover that grapes share the stage with melons and strawberries as one of Japan's luxury gift fruits, with some varieties commanding impressive prices. For example, last year, a bunch of Ruby Roman grapes sold for 1.2 million yen at auction.

Premium grape cakes from Café Comme Ça

If you just want to eat these premium gapes as they are, of course, you can visit the supermarket or fruit specialty shop. But if you'd like to sample them as a dessert, you may be interested in trying one of these exquisitely decorated grape cakes from Café Comme Ça. They even have a cake featuring the abovementioned Ruby Roman and, while admittedly expensive, you won't need to sell your car to try it.

The design will be different than pictured above at the Ginza location. Due to the rarity of this grape, the cake may be out of stock, so you may want to call the location you intend to visit in advance.
