Followed the smell of freshly baked cream puffs to this place, and couldn't believe is only $2, is really the best value. Love this cream puffs more then the Beard Papa's

Creampuffs have an unassuming elegance. A humble golden dome crown that belies the richness within. A perfectly crisp exterior, christened with a dusting of powdered sugar like the first frost of winter. Inside, a voluptuous cream that exists both light and airy, and yet dense and rich. A cloud of perfection. Each bite an experience in texture and taste, crispiness of the pastry and cool, luxurious cream. Come early on the weekends, because Daido will run out.

Daido, which translates to "Main Street" is a neat little Japanese market in the White Plains area. Daido carries a variety of imported Japanese products as well as fresh seafood and produce. I made 'homemade' sashimi with their lovely filleted salmon. Very good quality. There's a small section for take-out bento boxes, rice bowls, sushi, etc. **Parking is tight** **Open 10AM to 7PM daily** **The Staff is very helpful and lovely**

Go on Saturday and Sunday for the CREME PUFFS! The sweet older woman there magically whirls out what are arguably the best pastries available in White Plains. Follow the intoxicating aroma of fresh baked puff pastry to the tiny corner behind the last register. In a space of about 6X4 feet, with an EZ Bake (sorta) oven and custard machine she is hand assembling and weighing each delicate, sandwich sized confection. Some regulars stand there and consume with reverence and delight. If these delectable perfect treats even make it to the car, beware the custard erupting on your steering wheel!

Daido was a great find while I was driving through Westchester. Smaller than Mitsuwa, but bigger than Tominaga Shouten, this supermarket. It has everything you'll want from a Japanese supermarket plus extras: ready-made bento and onigiri, a small bakery, a cream puff station, and a restroom. Parking is a bit crowded during the weekends, so come early if you can. Otherwise, there's paid parking at the town's parking area.

Just wanted to add these links for the old commercials this store used to have. https://youtube.com/watch?v=DZSvnYpI-Z0&feature=share https://youtu.be/kwsGOuqT9eI

We came looking for prepared foods. It was 2 or 3pm so not much left - kelp or bonito flake rice ball and shrimp fried noodles. I grabbed a kelp onigiri to hold me over. When I first walked in, I was chatting with the woman at the bakery who was very friendly. I ended up buying a mixed fruit cream sandwich. My friend was skeptical but ended up liking it. Canned peach, grape, strawberry, kiwi with whipped cream sandwiched between fluffy milk bread was sweet, creamy and fluffy like a piece of cake. On Saturdays (and maybe Sundays) they have $2 cream puffs. We had to wait a little bit but it was worth it. The cream puffs had a nice crispy outer with buttery creamy custard inside. They weren't as crispy the next day, but still good. Other than that, the grocery has a good variety of frozen foods, vegetables, and meats.

The market is very clean and organized, as expected of a Japanese market. Produce and groceries are packaged individually in plastic, which makes you feel like they're safe during Covid times. I came with a one track mind to get the fresh cream puffs they only have on Saturdays. They fill the cream puffs right in front of you and aren't stingy. The filling is a bit on the runny side, though.
