Paper Moon, Tokyo, Japan (both Lady M Confections and Paper Moon use the same counter top)

I discovered Lady M Confections around 2005 when I was watching the good ol Food Network one day and there was a segment on desserts in NYC.  This place in particular caught my eye with their signature Mille Crêpes cake.  This delicious master piece is put together with no less then 20 paper thin hand-made crepes layered with ethereally light and creamy custard.  The top crépes is caramelized similar to creme brulee yet your fork still slices through the layers like a hot knife through butter.  Lady M was the pioneer of the Mille Crêpes over 30 years ago and has spawned numerous copycats since then but non can compare to the real deal.

When I walked in, I was stoked to see all these crazy tasty cakes lined up for devouring!  The place is a bit pricey but well worth every penny!  You're paying for the pure quality and hand made cakes, fresh (not frozen) without the use of food additives or preservatives.  If you are not in NYC to visit this Upper East Side gem, then they do ship throughout the United States via FedEx with a 48-hour notice.  You can also tastes the magic at several of New York's finest restaurants, such as their green tea Mille Crépes at Megu.

So fast forward to 2009 in Tokyo, Japan.  A friend and I went out for some grub and was going to grab a lil after dinner, coffee and dessert.  He took me to this spot called Paper Moon and I took one look at the cakes on display only to see all the same cakes as Lady M Confections.  I was totally in a flashback of confusion!  I said out loud, "This place totally bit off of Lady M Confections in NYC!"  So I made a bet with my boy that there was definitely some sort of relation between the two places.  So I called over the manager to ask him if he knew anything about the matter.  I then found out that Paper Moon and Lady M's were not only connected but both owned by the same Japanese owner.  Which made sense because Lady M's does have a Japanese cake appeal with their not so sugary approach, high end quality and regular portion sizes.  (aka not fat ass size)  Apparently they did operate under the Lady M's name in Japan for a little while but chose to go with Paper Moon, while NYC still goes by the name Lady M Confections.  Probably because Paper Moon is much easy to say then Lady M Confections for the Japanese!  I must say that the atmosphere is a hundred times better in Tokyo.  Paper Moon is a great date spot in Tokyo as you will see it's packed with gorgeous couples!  (check out the Charge corner and VIP corner)  As they say, "The way to someone's heart is through their stomach!"
