“Our passion is to create moments that make people smile,” says Saki Umemoto, a store manager of the canelé shop Doudou — a branch store of Canelé du Japon (@caneledujapon), based in Osaka, Japan. While respecting the tradition of the French pastry, Saki tries new things to keep her customers coming back; some of the store’s signature canelés contain seasonal ingredients like green tea powder and buds of cherry blossoms. “There are many wonderful moments I love about my job,” she says, “like when those beautiful glossy canelés come out of the oven, observing the tiny treats all neatly lined up and talking to customers who tell us how cute and delicious our canelés are.” How does Saki tell these stories on Instagram? “We try to share causal images from our day-to-day activities,” she says. “We want our shop to feel familiar for our customers.”
