If you’ve ever waited in a line that snakes around the block for a treat from Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart or an apple puff from Pafu, you’re in luck — the team behind those mouth-watering creations is bringing another Japanese dessert to Melbourne.
Come mid-July, the newly-opened restaurant Kurimu will serve Japanese cream choux pastries named, appropriately, Kurimu. The dessert kind of looks like a long éclair, except it’s filled with crème custard and covered with a nutty crème patisserie topping.

The masterminds behind this hot dessert spot recommend eating them on the spot. We don’t need to be told a second time.
They’ll cost just under $4 each, but we’re pretty sure that everyone’s going to want more of these — so you can score a four-pack for under $15.

The first Kurimu store is set to open in Melbourne Central in mid-July, and they’ve got big plans for the rest of Australia in the coming months.
