Handmade mochi, mille crepes, and Hokkaido snow cake
"Sakurado is a Japanese patisserie that serves London’s best mochi. They’re handmade daily and everything from the glutinous shell to the creative, cream-rich fillings have convinced us that our Little Moons habit was nibble training for these. We like the fresh zesty mango one best, but whoever decided to cover tiramisu in their perfect rice pastry deserves a raise. The Noughties-boutique-look Shaftesbury Avenue cafe has minimal seating, but it’s ideal for a late-night mochi moment after dinner nearby." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"Sakurado is a Japanese patisserie spot on Shaftesbury Avenue that’s perfect for anyone who’s partial to window shopping of the sugared choux variety. It’s got black chandeliers, faux marble tables, and a counter of mille crêpe cakes so stylish that you could feasibly wear them to fashion week. Plus, London’s most memorable mochi. These palm-sized beautiful blobs are handmade daily and we like the fresh zesty mango one best." - sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"Don’t let this Japanese patisserie’s colourful mille crêpe counter distract you from its one true calling—London’s best mango mochi. In fact, the only time we’ve been more excited about a perfect spherical ball is when we decided to lean into mass Euros hysteria back in 2018, but these XXL orbs yield much more satisfying results. Fresh mango is carved into zesty bite-sized chunks and spooned into a thick, glutinous shell alongside plenty of rich cream. This Chinatown spot has a couple of tables but our gameplan would be to take the mochi on a romantic sunny stroll to Soho Square Gardens." - rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing

But in the midst of matcha cheesecakes, slabs of fluffy milk bread, and a flaky pistachio croissant swirl that we’d like to nominate as our new alarm clock, is London’s most memorable mochi. These palm-sized beautiful blobs are handmade daily and everything from the glutinous shell to the creative, cream-rich fillings have convinced us that our Little Moons addiction was simply nibble training for these elite chewers. We like the fresh zesty mango one best, but whoever decided to cover tiramisu in their perfect rice pastry deserves a raise. Stop by whenever your day is crying out for a matcha reprieve or make use of their late-night closing time to grab a box of London’s best mochi after dinner nearby. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch video credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute" - Heidi Lauth Beasley
"An established patisserie in the Shaftesbury development that will sit adjacent to a new Hong Kong restaurant, providing a sweet-focused neighbor to the incoming dining options." - James Hansen
