			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To many in the west, Gucci, is a luxury clothing outfit, it produces sought after shoes, bags, clothing, and accessories. However, did you know that they also make chocolate and have food operations? Located at the Gucci building in Ginza, is one of only two Gucci cafes in existence, the other being in Gucci's flagship store in Milan. Dressed in a color pallet the matches their stores, and sculpted in a minimalist contemporary style, the cafe exudes the feeling of luxury.</p>
<p>The cafe serves mostly desserts and some lighter fare. I had the seasonal tart, which had a topping of grapefruit, and was served with a honey sorbet. The plating was very elegant, yet still simple. The tart itself was fantastic. At first one would think that grapefruit would be too tart to have as the only fruit on the dish, but these were not that tart at all. The crust was perfect it had enough structure to hold everything in place, but was soft enough to cut with a fork without much effort. Below the fruit was a cream base that give the grapefruit that additional sweetness to offset the minor tartness of it. </p>
<p>The honey sorbet was magical, and has now replaced vanilla as a basic flavor that I enjoy. It was the perfect balance of a vanilla flavor with just a hint of honey in it. While eating it the first sensation is that of vanilla and as you swallow the honey flavor spread though the mouth.</p>

<p>Final Rating: 10/10<br />
This was the perfect dessert. Everything was perfectly executed, the taste was just the way it should be. </p>
