In honor of our upcoming trip to Japan next week, I thought I’d share a photo of the Pierre Herme macarons we bought in Tokyo. They are nearly $5 US each, but oh so worth it! This one was the Montebello that was a combination of raspberry and pistachio flavors.
I had never been exposed to these French masterpieces until my trips to Belgium and France where nearly every other window we passed was a bakery who specialized in these addicting treats. We’ve tried a few in other places around the world, but the Pierre Herme ones are the best I have ever tried. Other have been chalky tasting and the fillings have been lacking. Looking forward to getting more of these in just a few days!
Have you tried macarons? If so, any recommendations we should try? Your favorite flavors? If you have tried making them at home and have a favorite recipe you can share, please let us know!

I’ve been to one of the Paris stores…had to look at the website to remember if it was this shop or one of the other many, many chocolate shops I cracked up too much money in when we were in Paris. So delicious! I have a macaroon recipe, but they are nothing like these. Email me if you want it!
