The dish has existed in Houston before now. However, pastry chef Renee Yoshida’s spin of the decadent dessert (breakfast?) might just be here to set a new bar for deliciousness.

There is one catch: the dish will be offered exclusively on Sundays.

Shun Japanese Kitchen, located at 2802 South Shepherd Drive in Houston, is open 5-10 p.m. Monday-Saturday, as well as 5-9 p.m. on Sunday. Make sure to check the website or call to confirm the restaurant's holiday hours.
