At the end of January the Japanese pastry team were again winners of the Pastry World Cup in Lyon, France. This was a back to back victory for Japan having taken gold in the 2023 final of this biannual contest, which is considered to be the toughest culinary contest in the world.

Do you have a link to a video of the contest?
Who was on the team?
Kuroyanagi would be proud.
There was a picture of the Japanese standing next to the french, with the French on second place looking midly irritated haha
Where do these famous pastry chefs work? In all my years in Japan I have never ever been pleasantly surprised by a bite of cake.
