I don’t know why, but I never knew about MAQUI’S Kobe, a sweets store originally from Kobe, Japan, until I came to Jakarta. It seems that Maqui’s sweets are very popular among Japanese people in Jakarta since I have seen Japanese people bring Maqui’s as a gift twice in the recent past. When I passed by Maqui’s Kobe in Plaza Indonesia, I could not help, but stop and look around the decoration as well as the delicious looking display of sweets. The store was absolutely adorable. I thought that the store decoration was beautiful with white, brown and soft pink. (I have a weak spot for tree decal as well.) Our friends were with us and they bought us some jelly and Japanese flan/purin (we call flan “purin (Japanese borrowed word from pudding)” in Japan) as we have never tasted them. They were delightful. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. A jelly is IDR 9,000 ($1) and a flan/purin is IDR 10,000 ($1.2). The chocolate display they had in show cases were darling looking, too. They were art work more than food to me. What a photogenic store it is!! Our girls loved the jelly they picked. It looked like they swallowed the jelly and it was gone.

It took me a long time to appreciate Japanese dessert… but now I am a big fan of azuki and macha ice cream and other delicacies (mochi etc…). I can still remember some places in Kyoto near the temples where you can eat delicious desserts while drinking green tea #imissjapan *sigh*
Yum!!! I grew up in Kobe area but I don’t think I recognize the store…
the more and more I read your blog the more Jakarta seems like a great place to visit 🙂 The tarts look exquisite!
Yum! I love Japanese sweets, they’re so pretty. These are definitely gorgeous.
Mmm..what a lovely shoppe! The handtools are too real and incidentally I just saw some chocolate nails the other day.
I love Maquis so much.They’ve got one of the best dessert.My favorite is Cheese Mini cake.Nyam.
Cheese cake. Love it!
i’m a big fan of maquis!! especially the green tea pudding. every time they open a new store, i feel like they are embracing me closer and closer!
Thanks for the comment! Glad to hear that you like their pudding. I have to find a store near me because Plaza Indonesia is kind of far for me…
I just found this store yesterday and the taste is really good.
I Love Maqui’s Mini Cheese Cake and the Custard Pudding!
Great! Their puddings are very nice!
Would you happen to know if they have a Halal certificate? I’ve just received some of their goods from a friend of my father’s and I’d very much like to taste it.
Lina, I have no idea if they have a halal certificate… I’m sorry! Thank you for your comment, though!
