"Authentic French pastries", Japanese Style

This post will be shorter than last, I promise.

I was in a little patiserie in Sannomiya this afternoon (I wasn't actually particularly looking for anything, so I was able to find this) and there were all these really odd Japanese "interpretations" of European cakes and breads, I had a "Chocolat French" as it was called, which was brioche with chocolate chips twisted like a croissant, but there were other really weird ones like hot rolls with okonomiyaki sauce ( i think) and dried fish scales on top, and the "Danish Pastries" were like nothing you've ever seen before.

Oh, and they like Ice here. You can get seriously ANY drink you could possibly imagine in Iced form here, like Cappuccino, latte, hot-chocolate, milk, any colour of tea, hibiscus syrup and milk (I had that today up the mountain, it was actually really good), and then you can get little pots of sugar syrup to sweeten it up if you want.

Oh, speaking being able to find stuff you arn't looking for at that particular time, I wandered across Kobe's Prada, Giorgio Armani, Issey Miyake, Fendi (two of them) Dolce and Gabbana (and D&G next door to it), Louis Vuitton (2 of them again, though one sells the bags, the other has the clothes), Hermes and Dior/Dior Homme stores (But annoyingly Comme de Garcons is only in Osaka). No Gucci either, which is a bit odd given how many of the bags you see around the place (And most are real as well...). ( I also found Uniqlo and Zara in Sannomiya-Centre and a Starbucks (in a bank!). Starbucks here has an extra drink size (small) and different food from the UK... No doubt all of these places exist in that special Japanese dimension that disappears when you actually want to find it again.
