I finally managed to visit this Western confectionery store in Jimbocho, where I have been wanting to go for a long time for my coffee shop tour. Without a reservation, it's difficult to buy anything unless you're lucky. Reservations are only accepted on the day of purchase, between 9:00 and 10:30 in the morning. First, I accessed the shop's Facebook page on the day of purchase to check the lineup of products for that day. The lineup is usually posted as early as 4:00 in the morning. Since I don't have any social media accounts, I asked my partner to send me the lineup. On this day, there were 11 types of tarts, 2 types of quiches, and 1 type of rice flour donut (limited to Tuesdays) for a total of 14 items. As I made my way to Jimbocho, I called the shop and was greeted by a very kind woman. I mentioned that the temperature was high and that pastries are delicate, and she recommended a type that is less prone to damage and deformation, which is well baked. Since it was my first time, I followed her recommendation. She advised putting a cold pack and picking up the items about an hour before heading home. I planned to pick them up at 3:00 and enjoy lunch and tea in the meantime. The shop has a narrow entrance and a long vertical interior, with a showcase in front and two reserved customers lining up. Without a reservation, there were only 5 tarts left. It made sense why I couldn't buy without a reservation before. The two kind women were polite and friendly, just as I had imagined from the phone call. Payment is cash only. I want to say it upfront: delicious! Delicious! It's not that one item is particularly delicious, but all of them are. If I were to express my preferences, when it comes to tarts, the typical ones are decorated with colorful, fresh fruits, which look nice, but I prefer not relying on fruits for sweets. I wanted to taste the true flavor of pastries. This time, by choosing a type that is well baked to prevent deformation, the appearance may be plain, but it truly embodies the original taste of tarts. Instead of fresh fruits in whipped cream, the five seasonal fruits are baked in the oven and integrated with the tart. The tart dough itself was the most delicious thing I have ever tasted in my life, and I truly appreciate the baking technique. Excited to try the quiches made with the same tart dough, they were also exquisite and impressive. The contents change daily, but the combination of homemade appareil and seasonal ingredients with pie crust was superbly baked. The following week, I ordered a whole quiche to be delivered for my daughter's family and their friends' BBQ, and it was a huge hit when warmed over charcoal. Both my daughter's family and their friends are already repeat customers of the shop.

I visited the store without a reservation right after it opened on a weekday. I originally planned to get a tart, but ended up getting two pies and a quiche to go because they looked so appealing. Both pies were delicious, especially the fig pie. The spinach and bacon quiche had a simple yet tasty flavor. I would definitely like to try the tart next time. Surprisingly, I was able to purchase without a reservation, but if you can't go right when they open or want to make sure you get what you want, it might be better to make a reservation.

Mr. Styles' seasonal Mont Blanc is a must-try❤ Located in Jinbocho, STYLE'S CAKES & CO. I couldn't resist ordering takeout the other day after seeing their post on Instagram that there were still some available. This time, I reserved the French chestnut Mont Blanc tart. It had been a while since I had Mont Blanc tart. What I love about Styles Cakes' Mont Blanc tart is that depending on the season, you can enjoy Italian, French, and even Japanese variations with chestnuts and cherry blossoms. While chestnuts are often associated with Japanese Mont Blanc, Styles offers unique twists with Italian and French versions, which I adore. This time, I tried the "French chestnut Mont Blanc tart." The French chestnut Mont Blanc tart had a rich color. The slightly salty tart had a firm and delicious taste, with a pistachio accent on top. The French chestnut paste was rich and firm, with a strong chestnut flavor, complemented by a light cream and a bitter cocoa sponge. It was not overly sweet, allowing the deliciousness of the chestnut cream to shine through. It had been a while since I last had it, but it was still delicious. I wonder if they will switch to Japanese chestnuts around October. I definitely want to go buy some this year.

- Blueberry Tart - Blueberry Pie - Blueberry Crafty Pie - Sour Cream Cheesecake - Banana Cream Tart - Visiting Time: Weekdays - Crowdedness: No wait - Reservation: No reservation required - Number of Visitors: 1 person - Tabelog Rating: 3.88 (as of September 2023) - Genre: Western sweets - Notes: The cookie base is delicious and tastes like good cookies. It's not too sweet but very tasty. Personally, I like the Banana Cream Tart. The slightly sweet cream and banana on the not-too-sweet cookie base are really good. I bought various cakes, but my roommate seems to like this store the most. I called about 5 times and finally got through around 9:10, which was surprisingly easy. I went to pick up the cakes at 12:00 and it didn't seem like they were sold out, so you might be able to buy without a reservation if you go near opening time.

I was able to make a reservation and purchase over the phone. You can reserve for same-day pick-up between 9:00 and 10:30. It was difficult to get through on the phone at 9:00. I had visited twice before in the afternoon and they were sold out, so it's better to go early or make a reservation. I bought 4 different items, each with its own unique flavor. The tarts had a taste I had never experienced before. The atmosphere of the store is lovely, with a unique world view that draws you in. It's a place I want to visit again and again. The daily menu is posted on Facebook, so it's recommended to check that, make a phone reservation, and let them know you'll be there for the 12:00 opening time.

I'm not a big fan of cakes named tart, but because they had high ratings on Tabelog, I had to buy some for work. I called to make a reservation starting at 9 am, and finally got through at 9:30 am. For work, I got three grape tarts and peach and nectarine tart. They were well-received. For my family, I bought banana cream tart, sour cream cheesecake, fresh fruit tart, and French chestnut Mont Blanc. The Italian chestnut Mont Blanc was sold out when I called. They were unexpectedly delicious, with the fruit being fresh and the tart crust crispy and tasty. I would love to try other items as well.

I still love tarts. Currently, they are only available for takeout. STYLE'S CAKES & CO. in Jinbocho. I recently went to the cafe and gallery complex facility in Bumpodo, where you can enjoy art and coffee at Gallery Cafe Bumpodo. I love the Crafty Pie and tarts from Styles. I remembered how much I used to love them and decided to go to the store for takeout. They now announce the menu of the day on their Facebook page in the morning and accept reservations during specific hours. For more details, check their Facebook page and make a reservation. I missed out on the Lemon Cream Cheesecake I wanted as it was already sold out when I called. I decided to try my favorite Blueberry Tart before it ends in March. They only offer takeout now. The last time they had a cafe was in 2013, so it's been almost 10 years. According to their Instagram, they sometimes have leftovers in the afternoon and can reserve them by phone until evening. When I went to pick up my order in the scorching heat, there was a sold-out sign outside. I tried the Blueberry Tart from the summer menu before it ends. It had fresh blueberries on top, a firm tart base with a hint of salt and a strong almond flavor, moist almond cream, sweet and sour blueberry jam, and a refreshing blueberry yogurt cream on top. The combination of the crispy tart and light cream, typical of Styles, was simply the best. Having it again after a long time made me love it even more. I also bought a quiche. I will post about it later. Thank you as always. Please follow me for more updates!

- Price: Grape Crafty Pie 900 yen, Fig Crafty Pie 800 yen - Details: Styles Cakes is located about an 8-minute walk from Ochanomizu Station. It's time for sweets! This is one of the top 100 stores recommended by Maruka. We arrived 10 minutes before opening and were able to enter as the second customers. Both the grape and fig pies were made to enhance the flavor of the fruits, and they were incredibly delicious. We were lucky to be able to eat without a reservation. Thank you for the delicious meal!

The store Styles Cakes & Company, which opens at 12 o'clock, had already had four customers inside when I arrived at 11:55. The entrance was cute and stylish, and I decided to choose three items without knowing much about them, based on the reviews that mentioned making reservations. I selected a Muscat tart, a peach tart, and a fruit tart (I apologize for not knowing the exact names of the products). The Muscat tart was amazing! It was the best tart I have ever had, with sweet Muscat grapes that weren't too overpowering, a crispy tart base that was dense but not crumbly like other tarts I've had before. The fruit tart was classic but delicious, with a thick tart base that was more like a galette. The peach tart had delicious baked peaches and a thin tart base that was easy to eat with a cookie-like texture. All of them were excellent. Unfortunately, some flavors were sold out when I arrived just before the store opened, and I even got the last peach tart. If I ever crave tarts again, I will definitely go back to buy more.

They started making calls at 9 am, and finally got through on the 20th call after 35 minutes. The tarts are delicious, but it's uncertain whether it's worth enduring the stress of not being able to connect by phone to repeat the experience. The tarts cost around 600-800 yen each, but they are on the smaller side. There are three types of blueberry tarts available, but if you want to savor the ingredients, the one without whipped cream seems to be better. The quiche with seasonal vegetables is soft and substantial. You can buy them without a reservation if they are available in-store, but it's recommended to reserve seasonal items. The domestic blueberries will only be available until the end of this month.

Sweets Top 100 Store 2023, 22, 20. Visited on Wednesday at 13:00 with no prior customers. Tried to do a lunch tour from the Curry Top 100 Store in Ethiopia to the Udon Top 100 Store Maruka, but there was a line of 20 people so gave up and found this place through a local Top 100 Store search. I had read a comment before saying it's tough to get in without a morning reservation, so I hadn't been able to go, but since it was right near Maruka, I decided to at least check it out. When I arrived at the store front, there was an open sign. I entered and wasn't asked if I had a reservation, so I went to the showcase and started choosing. I was told there was a cake shelf and a quiche shelf, so I chose a chocolate tart and a Mont Blanc tart from the cake shelf, and a beef quiche from the quiche shelf. The total came to 1900 yen including tax, and when I confirmed, they said cash only, so I paid in cash. I was able to buy without a reservation, but I wonder if I was lucky? Well, people who came in later were saying they had a reservation, so maybe it's better to make one if possible. The Mont Blanc tart had a strong chestnut flavor on a solid crust, and the chocolate tart was packed with nuts and delicious. However, when eating the chocolate tart, it didn't feel that hard, but when I tried to fork it, there was strong resistance, and when I stabbed it all the way down, it popped out of the plate, so be careful when eating (cut it into bite-sized pieces). The quiche was also rich and delicious. If I have the chance to buy again, I might try the fruit tart.

I think this place is quite challenging, but I decided to give it a try and called them at 9:00 on Monday. Surprisingly, I got connected around 9:10! I had checked their lineup on Facebook beforehand (a must) but unfortunately, they didn't have the blueberry pie I wanted today. I ordered the summer fruit tart and sour cream cheesecake (total 1050 yen). I went to pick it up at 3:00 and enjoyed it as soon as I got home. First, I tried the sour cream cheesecake. The crust here is delicious. It's a bit firm, as others have mentioned, but it actually works well. The cheesecake part is refreshing and tasty. The seasonal fruit tart is also delicious with lots of fruits that are sweet and sour. I went back another day and was able to get the blueberry pie. The blueberries are so delicious and the crust is crispy. Overall, this is a high-level restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

The popular cake shop where cakes are usually sold out by the afternoon. The Sour Cream Cheese Cake has a tangy sour cream flavor that is not too sweet. It is a three-layer cake with cheese on top, a sponge layer in the middle, and a tart layer at the bottom, making it slightly heavy.

I have tried to visit this restaurant once by walking in, but unfortunately, I couldn't buy anything as it is a reservation-only shop. The cakes for the day are announced on Facebook, and when the reservation time comes, you need to call. The staff at the shop are very polite, which made me feel relieved. Despite being nervous about the reservation-only policy, the staff were the opposite of stubborn and taciturn artisans, they were very kind. The shop is a bit of a walk from the station, but nearby there is my favorite udon restaurant, Maruka. There are many famous shops around here, making it tempting to stop by. I went to pick up my order at the reserved time and was warmly welcomed. The fig cake is not easily crumbled even in the summer, which is very convenient. It's nice to have seasonal cakes, and I couldn't help but enjoy it with cold barley tea. By the way, the barley tea that I make in a kettle every day is my specialty. The cakes are unbelievably delicious, with carefully selected ingredients and a perfect balance of flavors. I'm glad I went there, it was a fantastic shop that made me appreciate my journey of visiting a hundred famous restaurants.

The refreshing sweetness is very fresh and I like it. The reservation system starting from 9:30 in the morning is quite difficult to get through on the phone σ(^_^;) and if you are late, the heartbreaking response of being sold out (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀). On this day, two of the blueberry flavors I was aiming for were sold out by 9:40... Personally, I think it's the best in the Jimbocho area in terms of taste. However, I personally felt that the base was too hard (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)

I challenged the phone at 9:00 on Friday, but it took about 40 minutes to connect. The summer strawberry and mango tart were sold out... The salt cake is soft and fluffy. Be careful when cutting with a knife. You can occasionally taste the saltiness. The fig craft pie has juicy figs. The tart cream with grapefruit has a soft sweetness. The nut cream? It matches very well and is delicious. The pie part is crispy! Caprese-style quiche was baked with a strong butter scent. The tart part is crispy!! I ate it the next day and it was still crispy. The fluffy texture allows you to fully feel the whipped cream. The tomatoes are cut in half, but the Caprese feeling was not really there. American cherry pie, peach and fig cheesecake, and summer fruit baked tart.

Taste: Delicious Portion: Average Memorable dish: Mont Blanc Tart Menu: Average Atmosphere: Average Cost performance: Average Crowdedness: Without a reservation, the selection is limited, but you can still buy if you line up before opening Customer service: Average Would revisit: If there is an opportunity The cakes change daily and the lineup for that day is posted on Facebook in the morning You can only make phone reservations between 9:00 and 10:30 on the day The tart crust is quite hard to eat, but the crispy texture and taste of the cookie crust are good and delicious - Seasonal Fruit Cheesecake Tart: The subtle sweetness of the fruit and the refreshing taste of the cheesecake go well together and taste delicious - Mont Blanc Tart: The Mont Blanc is rich and sweet, and when combined with the tart, it seems to slightly diminish the tart's flavor with the sweetness of the Mont Blanc

The popular tart shop in Jinbocho was unreachable when I called at 9:00, but I was able to place an order at 9:40. The White Nuts tart had a delightful combination of white chocolate and pistachio, creating a sweet and elegant flavor. The Mont Blanc was rich, and the summer fruit tart had a sweet and sour taste. Even though they are all tarts, each one offers a unique and enjoyable experience! I look forward to checking out their menu in the future!

I visited Styles Cakes & Company in Jinbocho, known for their famous tarts. Basically, you need to make a reservation by phone in the morning of the same day and then pick up the tarts. I tried the following: - Mango Crafty Pie (seasonal) - Banana Cream Tart - Fresh Fruit Tart The tarts were filled with lots of fruits, allowing you to taste the seasonal fruits. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

Finally, I was able to take a weekday off, so I called every 5 minutes from 9 am and finally made a reservation around 9:30 am. I checked the cakes on Facebook based on everyone's reviews and ordered ①Chocolate Nut Tart, ②Banana Cream Tart, ③Fresh Fruit Tart, and ④Tuesday Limited, Rice Flour Baked Donuts. I went to pick them up around 4 pm, and there was no line. I took a bite of ①Banana Cream Tart and was surprised that it tasted exactly like the tart crust my aunt makes! It's delicious, but a bit too firm. It crumbles when you try to eat it without a fork. ②Chocolate Nut Tart - 3.0. I prefer it a bit sweeter. ③Fresh Fruit Tart - 3.3. The tart crust is softer than the banana, and the fruit is delicious. ④Rice Flour Donuts - 2.8. Soft. Might be good for the body. Maybe I had too high expectations. Or maybe my aunt's tart is just that good. The price I was told during the reservation was 2,100, but I paid 2,500. When I called, they said they would refund the difference next time if I mentioned it. It was good to confirm in the beginning. The service was very good.
