*Shachibon is a combination of Shachi (which is Orca in Japanese) and bon voyage (French)
Thanks to the unique evolution of food culture here in Nagoya, many people visit the city for “Nagoya-meshi” (Nagoya food).
One of the most popular Nagoya-like sweets is “Piyorin,” a chick-shaped cake. The delicacy of the cake, which is susceptible to shaking and quickly crumbles, has made it so difficult to take home that the term “piyorin challenge” has been coined.
Did you know that there was a sweet called “Shachibon,” which was the predecessor to “Piyorin”? The other day, “Shachibon” was revived after an 11-year absence and has become a topic of conversation.
“Shachibon” is a cream puff in the shape of a charming orcas with strawberry tongues sticking out, and is sold at “Cafe Danmark” located at the Nagoya Uimaimon-dori Hirokoji Exit of JR Nagoya Station from 2:00 pm. It seems to be sold out every day, but if you have a chance, please try it.
