Azabu Sabo - Japanese Sweets, Eats, and Tea

At Azabu Sabo



Azabu Sabo, as quoted from their website "follows an original teahouse philosophy and serves authentic Japanese desserts and unique cuisine". They are especially known for their Hokkaido Ice Cream (Hokkaido again!), being the first to introduce it to Singapore. Azabu Sabo has a wide menu, but I will only be focusing on their desserts today!


Azabu Sabo typically has two types of outlets: a dine-in restaurant, and a kiosk that sells only desserts on the go. Dining in provides the benefit of a comfortable atmosphere to indulge in heavenly Japanese cuisine. Here is a list of where you can find Azabu Sabo in Singapore: http://www.azabusabo.com.sg/howtoreachus.htm


This is one of the best places in Singapore to find Japanese desserts, in my opinion. The desserts sold here are not very cheap, but they are worth the price when you take your time to savour the authentic taste of the food.



Matcha Daigaku Imo (Caramelized Sweet Potato & Japanese Rice Cake with Green Tea Ice Cream) for $8.80

I was reading a review of Azabu Sabo on another food blog (http://eateatenate.blogspot.com/2008/08/azabu-sabo-hokkaido-ice-cream-aside.html), and decided I disagree with the rating they gave the Caramelized Sweet Potato and Japanese Rice Cake with Matcha Ice Cream. I personally had this (at the same venue, even), and it was a unique dish altogether, one with an addictive flavour, with a nice smooth blend in taste between the sweet potato (it was chewy instead of hard) and caramel. Combined with the green tea ice cream, it was heaven. Perhaps the dish served to them was not cooked thoroughly? I hope they might actually do give it another chance.


I end this post with well wishes for you to have a pleasant dining experience at Azabu Sabo, and picture to get your stomach rumbling.
