Hi I've been looking around the internet for any cookbooks by Sadaharu Aoki because his desserts are mind blowing but it seems that he doesn't have any cookbooks. Does anyone have a recipe for a matcha eclair or matcha opera cake like his? I am also interested in any other of his recipes you might have. His desserts are stunning.

Unfortunately, there aren't any cookbooks, but there are some ways to get *some* recipes.

1. If you check out the official website, he does offer classes on how to make some pastries. These are held in Tokyo. A friend could perhaps pick up some stuff for you.

2. Sometimes the recipes get published in magazines. Already I found one for Matcha Madeleines.

3. There's already been a blog entry by someone attempting to copy the matcha opera, but the recipe has been taken down. It seems easy enough to experiment with.
