The transition from fall to winter may have started the day after Halloween, but you don't have to join every department store in Tokyo in embracing the Christmas spirit just yet.
You have a few more days to head to Magnolia Bakery in Tokyo's Omotesando district to try their Harvest Apple Cupcake (¥518). The confection has a subtle cinnamon taste jacked up by pieces of tart cranberries waiting inside the cake.
It comes topped with a rich caramel butter cream, which adds a lot of sugar to the whole package. If you need one more taste of autumn, bite into this one quickly.
