The Best Japanese Desserts in Toronto

The best Japanese desserts in Toronto are much more than sweet treats; they're an art form. Simple elements like sponge cake, cream and fruit come together to create goodies so kawaii, they're practically emojis.

Here are the best Japanese desserts in Toronto.

Matcha tiramisu is the claim to fame for this Japanese dessert place in North York that's all about cheese, with oozing cheese tarts and Japanese souffle cheesecake on the menu.
