Acidracines - Decent pâtisserie but disappointing for us

Acidracines

Another Pâtisserie that I am excited to try during our Japan trip last year, as it is very highly rated on Tabelog (3.88 as of the time of writing this post). We went there straight after our visit to Osaka Castle, since it is around the vicinity.

Overall

This is a bit embarrassing as we don’t really recall much of those cakes, other than the basic texture and taste, thus will be doing an overall scoring.

Our excuse is it has been 6 months since we ate it, and Acidracines is just not as memorable compared to the epic Le Musée de H in Kanazawa, or the simple and good Heigoro Pâtisserie with a cosy cafe area to dine in Nagano.

The following are the 5 cakes we tried that day.

Mont Blanc (¥600)
Tarte Figue Vin Rouge (¥560)
Lactee (¥560)
Banana Orange (¥560)
Meringue Chantilly Caramel (¥460)

We feel on the overall it is too sweet for us and doesn’t blend in with the other flavours, simply said the sweetness is too overpowering and we can’t taste the other profiles. Maybe those with a sweet tooth will be right up your alley.

Texture and presentation are of a decent standard.

Overall nothing to complain, but if I just do a simple comparison between Le Musée de H and Heigoro Pâtisserie.

Taste: Le Musée de H > Heigoro Pâtisserie > Acidracines

Presentation: Le Musée de H > Acidracines > Heigoro Pâtisserie

With this, I can’t really recommend people to go out of their way to try it (especially if you have tried Le Musée de H before). But if you have a sweet tooth and/or in the vicinity, then it might be worth a try.

Rating: 3/5

Just to share the backstory while we were doing the photography for this session. As this is a takeaway only, and the nearest bench is a neighbourhood park near the shop. Just after a couple of minutes of doing the photography, lots of birds gather around attempting to eat it. We are not really afraid of them eating it, but more on the dust/sand particles when they fly/flap their wings. Thus we move to another area after shooting the first 2 cakes, as you can see the change of background in the photos.
