This sleek Japanese dessert spot is more Kyoto than tofu, since that city is one of the first places where this “sweet and treat” chain originated years ago. Traditional Japanese pastries have been given a pop-modern Americanized twist—try the saffron sake poached tartlets and kuromame black bean coffee—and the Jewel Bako designers made the stylish studio space glow white-gold. Weekday lunch and weekend brunch options provide a lovely savory foil to the restaurant's sweet indulgences.
