Albatross sweets

The shelves at Albatross sweets in Eifuku, Suginami Ward, are lined with rustic baked goods that carry clear, well-defined flavors. Among them, the cane sugar and salt pound cake stands out immediately: the richness of Hokkaido cultured butter and the rounded sweetness of unrefined cane sugar are set off by subtle salinity, leaving a lingering depth. Shell-shaped financiers feature the nutty fragrance of browned butter alongside a dense, satisfying crumb, while crunchy walnut cookies deliver a bold nutty aroma and a crisp bite.

Beyond dry baked goods, the shop offers fresh pastries and original creations with thoughtful flavor combinations. The petite yet dense cheesecake delivers concentrated satisfaction in every bite. Contrast is also on display in the amanatsu citrus roll cake, which pairs a tender sponge with tangy candied peel and custard, as well as the mochi cake—a buttery, chewy base accented with salted whole red beans that can also be enjoyed warmed up.

Located just a short walk from Nishi-Eifuku Station, the charming shop with its garden frontage operates primarily for takeout. Gift boxes and regional shipping are available, and the register accepts credit cards as well as various QR code payment methods. Stopping by on a Thursday through Sunday afternoon offers an easy chance to pick up a favorite treat for teatime.
