The dough is filled with the original cream called "Mont Cher's Treasure

This confectionery is known for sparking the roll cake boom. The "Dojima Roll," made with moist, fluffy baked dough and filled with cream, is the store's signature product. The specialty is the original cream made from raw milk produced in Hokkaido. The founder, who is not fond of cream and does not have a pastry chef background, came up with a new idea to create a cream that is rich but has a light aftertaste, as if you were eating raw milk as it is.
The store was opened with the hope of "extending to Japan the richness of life in which sweets are an integral part of everyday life, as in Europe. To maintain quality, the store is set up close to the kitchen and does not mass-produce or leave the cream unmade. The cream, which is made with careful attention to temperature, humidity, and air volume, is prepared only as often as needed by the pastry chef.
