It comes from France! and choux paste makes a pastry bag. It's baked.
and it's filled ice cream, whipped cream, and custard, pastry cream, (Japanese ppl like putting bean paste)
topped with chocolate sauce or caramel glaze.

The filling comes in custard, chocolate, caramel, apple cinnamon, sakura, honey lemon, rum raisin, strawberry, maccha, cappuccino, chestnuts, pumpkin, sesame, and earl grey. I swear, japanese people are so creative.
