For many a sweet tooth, going out for dinner is all about the dessert.
We rolled up our sleeves and sampled some of the best desserts going in Niseko this winter all for our readers’ benefit. Someone had to do it!
01 Crème Brûlée
Musu, Upper Hirafu
French chef Thibaut Eulry uses Hokkaido milk, cream and local farm eggs to infuse the flavour of Niseko into this classic French dessert. Can be enjoyed at any time of the day or night in the sexy new Odin Place building at the Hirafu crossroads.
02 Niseko Forest
Vale Bar & Grill, Upper Hirafu
Ski into The Vale Niseko for this exquisite vegan creation which is as much a feast for the eyes as for the taste buds. A chocolate Disaronno mousse made with local tofu, chocolate cake, berry sorbet and berry coulis, garnished with berries and fresh mint.
03 Fromage Blanc Ice Cream with Fruit
J’ai La Patate, Outer Hirafu
Paired with the fruit of the season, this dish from the new French restaurant at Country Resort offers a delicate mix of local flavours – ice cream sourced from a local dairy in nearby Kimobetsu and the unique flavour of gelée made with Mt Yotei spring water.
04 Matcha Sundae
Green Saso, St Moritz
For a true taste of Japan, drop into Green Saso to try this unique combination of sweet flavours. Homemade green tea ice cream, fresh cream, dango (mochi rice ball), anko (sweet bean paste), and kokutou (brown sugar) jelly, topped with a little popcorn for fun!
