My heart skipped a beat.. the moment I was at the little bakery in Tokyo’s Hotel New Otani and I came face to face with the legendary Pierre Hermé lovelies.
I don’t know whether Pierre Hermé makes the best macarons – my French colleague who grew up with Laduree has never heard of this name. But Pierre Hermé has a book on macarons, so he must be pretty good!
The three flavours that I tried were: Pistachio, Rose and Vanilla.
The macarons looked polished and exquisite. And that thick amount of ganache could drive people out of control.
Pistachio: The surface of the shell crumbled at first touch but the inner layer was sturdy. The pistachio ganache was a tad hard, probably because the macaron was in the fridge for a while. However, the filling melted into the mouth together together with the macaron shell, leaving a memorable impression of a sweet but very light pistachio taste.
Rose: Miss Jazzy’s gonna scream because this is probably the best Rose macaron ever! The ganache tasted like butter cream with rose flavour. There was the lightness of rose, yet weight and fragrance of butter. Very intriguing but fascinating combination of taste and texture.
Vanilla: The ganache tasted like a very good vanilla ice-cream! This was so addictive that I felt like grabbing another..
Final verdict (out of 5 points):
Miss Glitzy: 
(Ok, it’s off the charts!)
Pierre Hermé has 7 outlets in Tokyo and 6 in Paris. They also have an online shop.
