I went to my favorite patisserie, Material, after a long time. I only reviewed it once before, but I really love this place. I was thinking of reviewing various colorful cakes, but this time, I want to buy the brown dessert "Elegance" and some bread "Pain au S'mand". Both are brown, so this review will focus on the brown world of elegance. Both of these creations really stand out in Material's aromatic and elegant world. "Elegance": - Fragrant Earl Grey tea aroma - Deep buttery caramel flavor - Smooth and melty texture - Strong caramel and buttery taste with a soft finish I divided it into four pieces and savored each one, feeling completely satisfied. Eating the same "Elegance" in an elegant way really enhances the experience of this delightful 10cm dessert. "Pain au S'mand": Although it's not in the dessert world, I enjoyed this bread with a similar mindset. It's truly delicious, with a twisted, cinnamon-infused, buttery, crunchy, and satisfying taste. The almond flavor adds a nice touch, fulfilling all senses and instincts when it comes to eating. It feels like indulging in a classic French pastry. If you love buttery treats, caramel, and milk flavors, I highly recommend trying the "Elegance" dessert and the "Pain au S'mand" bread at Material. It's a unique world of elegance and flavor that goes beyond just cocoa.

I visited a popular Western confectionery shop in the mountains. I thought I could choose my favorite cake and eat it in the eat-in area, but it turned out that they only offer one type of cake for dine-in. Today's cake was made with Shine Muscat grapes, but I wasn't sure if they served drinks, and it was too crowded to ask, so I opted for a petit gateau, which is basically a pudding. This is the cheapest cake in the shop at 450 yen. The three-layer pudding was pleasantly sweet with a distinct milk flavor, and it matched well with the cream on top. The pudding was of the smooth type, and although I personally prefer the firmer type of pudding, this smooth pudding was a whole different experience. If the basic pudding is of this high quality, then other cakes in the shop are definitely worth trying. I also bought a croissant, which was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and the size was large, making it worth the 350 yen. If you're looking for Western confectionery around here, I would recommend this shop.

This time, I casually went to the sweets gathering at the shop. It's hard to taste each cake at our shop one by one. Veil Mont: Chocolate mint cake. The overall taste is exactly chocolate mint, but the sophistication is amazing. Tarte Chocolat Progre: It has caramel and walnuts, but also a berry element, and on top of that, it's incredibly rich. Noisette Sicilienne: This item alone costs ¥950. I wonder what it's like... Tartelette Caramel Pomme: Oh, the intense sweetness of caramel contrasts with the refreshing taste of apples. It may be small, but the flavor is amazing and has a big impact! This is not a refrigerated pastry. Recolte: Pistachio, hazelnut, coffee. It's hard to imagine... Savarin Poire: A pear savarin. It's quite matured in syrup. Meringue aux Pommes Vertes: Green apple compote and meringue. Is it baked meringue? Even just one baked pastry is striking! Today, the chef was working busily in the kitchen with a serious expression. Somehow, I feel like visiting this shop again.

Local famous restaurants in Oyama that you can walk to. Just a short walk from Oyama Station, down the Happy Road shopping street where redevelopment is progressing, and into the alley. The food is all delicious. The flavors are refined and delicate. We also rely on them for our Christmas cake this year.

First visit. A Western confectionery shop located on the outskirts of the Oyama shopping street. I actually thought Oyama was in Tottori Prefecture (lol). But there's one in Tokyo too, Oyama. And the pronunciation is different. Matériel offers the Ashet Dessert from June to September, and it's highly rated. So I went there aiming for the Ashet Dessert. Actually, my original plan for the day was to go to a certain shop in Ishigami Park for the Ashet Dessert. But when I checked their Twitter on the train, it said "Ashet Dessert available from the afternoon." Seriously... Well, I could go to another pickled shop in Ikebukuro if I take a different train, so I changed my route to Matériel. But seriously, I seem to have no connection with the shop in Ishigami Park (bitter smile). Arrived at Oyama Station. First time getting off at Oyama Station in my life. There's such a nice shopping street here. It's a fun town. There's even a shop specializing in Oyama chicken, it's like a place I want to visit just for fun. Matériel is located near this fun shopping street. The shop is of a standard size for a Western confectionery shop in Tokyo. But even though it's just opened, the shop is already full of customers. It's a very popular shop. There are cute-shaped fresh sweets in the showcase that make you want to try them, but I'll start with the Ashet Dessert. You pay first and then get seated. There are 2-seat tables x 3 inside the shop, and a few outdoor terrace tables as well. They used to have counter seats inside the shop, but they've been removed now. I ordered the September Dessert Glass, Dessert Glass au Muscat (1800 yen). This is the only dessert you can have in the shop. There are no drink menus, and you can't eat the fresh cakes there. After sitting down, the dessert platter I was looking for appeared. Wow (*´∀｀*) This has a nice visual appeal. Just looking at it gets me excited. It looks delicious. The plate has a honey and anise seed mousse glacé to create a base, and a round blue apple coulis is drawn on top. Sitting on the base is a cup-shaped lime-flavored meringue with vanilla ice cream inside. Yes, it's a vacherin. On top of the vacherin is a blue apple compote. And lime is sprinkled throughout for fragrance. The ice cream on the side is a cream glacé of fromage blanc. It's quite a detailed composition. It's mainly ice cream, so it's a summer limited menu. The taste is excellent. It's all ice cream, but each ice cream has different flavors and textures, so it doesn't get monotonous. In fact, the level of each ice cream is incredibly high. Especially the anise-scented mousse glacé on the base is a striking flavor. I'm not a big fan of spiced sweets, but even I was surprised by how delicious the mousse glacé was. The meringue that has become a vacherin, and the meringue on the side, have a light texture that hasn't deteriorated at all, and the muscat is a high-quality fruit with a good aroma. And the little trick of mixing in the compote of muscat on the side is also nice. It's quite filling, but the refreshing scent of lime and the acidity of the blue apple are effectively used, making it easy to eat. It's so delicious. If I were to ask for more, I think this dessert would be even happier if eaten with black tea, white wine, or champagne (cries). Well, they probably don't serve drinks to keep the turnover rate up. In fact, by the time I left, both the inside and outside terrace seats were full. I mean, it's still the morning!? Originally, I only planned to have the dessert platter, but the dessert was so delicious ===========

3rd visit. I wanted to dine in and also get some takeout this time. However, dining in was limited to just one item, while cakes and such were only available for takeout. In September, they had a plate featuring grapes. The ice cream had a hint of cheese flavor, and there were chunks of grape flesh, giving it an adult taste. I could taste mint throughout. When I went in the evening, the takeout cakes were starting to sell out. It was convenient that I could purchase the takeout items when entering and pick them up after dining in. Next time, I'll try to go before lunchtime to avoid items selling out.

I visited "Materiel" in Itabashi-ku, Tokyo (nearest station: Oyama Station) on Monday around 2 pm. I parked at a nearby coin parking lot and bought some jam while waiting for my order. Next time, I will come back to buy a cake.

There is a patisserie shop located less than 10 minutes from Oyama Station on the Tobu Tojo Line. In front of the shop, there is a spacious wooden deck with terrace seating. Inside the shop, there are also spacious table seats where customers were enjoying their sweets. They have a special menu available for dine-in customers, but the artistic chocolate cakes displayed in the showcase can only be taken home. I wanted to try them as they looked beautiful and delicious. It was a very hot day, so I decided to go with some baked goods instead. I chose the Galette Bretonne for ¥280, a rich and delicious buttery cookie from the Brittany region of France. It had a buttery aroma and a crispy yet crumbly texture, with a hint of rock salt that made it perfect for pairing with wine. The staff was very polite, and overall it was a lovely shop. I look forward to coming back to enjoy their sweets leisurely after finishing my hundred shop tour. Seeing the beautiful cakes makes me truly envious of the locals.

- Price: Veil Manto 750 yen, Fromage Cru 650 yen - Details: Located about a 5-minute walk from Oyama Station, we purchased sweets for snack time at Materiel. Veil Manto is a sophisticated and beautiful treat with a mint base. Fromage Cru is a rich and creamy milk-flavored dish with a firm and bouncy texture. Thank you for the delicious meal! 🌟

Mont Blanc Chestnut Tart has plenty of whipped cream underneath, with chestnut pieces in the middle, and a crispy meringue crust at the bottom. The great thing about this cake is how the alcohol is infused perfectly, enhancing the chestnut flavor, while the light whipped cream prevents it from being too heavy. The Lemon Tart has a strong citrus flavor that is just right, not too sour, thanks to the coconut in the tart crust balancing out the sweetness. The meringue on top is crispy, making up for the slightly less crispy tart crust. The unique shape is characteristic of this shop. The Fondant Chocolate Cake is the only chocolate cake available that day, priced over 1,000 yen, but it was worth it. It comes in a special separate box, with instructions to eat it cold and then warm it in the microwave. Opening the box reveals a rich chocolate aroma. Eating it cold, you get a rich chocolate cake with a hint of bitterness from the chocolate cookie at the bottom. When warmed, it turns into a fondant chocolate cake, with a different flavor profile. The size is larger than others, allowing for a different eating experience.

I'm happy that the eat-in space has expanded and now you can eat inside the store. The desserts available from June to September are all amazingly delicious, I have been coming here for years! If I had to say one thing, I would like the coffee to make a comeback ☕️ It would be even better if we could enjoy coffee together!

Good evening, this is Kameji. I went to a shop called Materiel in Oyama, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo. This shop is a cake shop. They also have a menu for eating in, and this time I ordered a dessert called "Dessert Glass a la Peach." It's in French, so I didn't really understand, but since there was only one option, I ordered it without hesitation. I think it's a dessert plate based on peaches, with white peach compote, granita, vanilla mousse glace, and lychee creme glace. The container contained peach sorbet and glace. The peach sorbet had a subtle sweetness with a strong peach flavor, and it was refreshing. The glace was sweet and delicious. The vanilla mousse had a rich vanilla flavor that was very tasty. In the center, there was something like peach mousse with jam on top, and there were white rice cakes and chocolate bars on the side. I'm sorry for the poor explanation, but it was a very elegant dessert. The shop was stylish and lovely. If I lived nearby, I would have purchased some cakes as well. Next time, I might stay around Ikebukuro and buy some cakes.

I visited a dessert shop that I had been wanting to go to but couldn't find the time. I had to work suddenly during the Obon holiday and wasn't feeling motivated, so I decided to treat myself to some sweets here. The cakes all looked beautiful, with many that seemed like they would appeal to women. I wanted something like a shortcake, but there weren't many options, so I ended up getting a Mont Blanc and another cake with a berry and brownie-like name. In my experience, cakes that look this good often lack in taste, but this place lived up to its reputation in terms of quality. The Mont Blanc had a strong chestnut flavor, with Mont Blanc sauce on the surface, cream inside, and chestnuts at the bottom, creating a perfect balance without feeling heavy. The chocolate cake also had a perfect balance of chocolate cream and berries.

I visited a cake shop near Oyama Station on the Tobu Tojo Line and decided to try their cakes. I arrived around 3 pm on a Sunday and there were no other customers, so I was able to enter easily. The shop had tables inside, so it seemed like you could also eat there. I purchased a strawberry cake for takeout. It tasted like a typical cake shop.

■Scene of Use Takeout ■No waiting time. It wasn't crowded so I was able to order quickly. ■Ordered a specialty or classic menu item. The chocolate on the left in the third image may be heavy in summer, but it seems good when paired with coffee or light tea in winter. The pink one on the right is delicious regardless of the season, with a sweet and sour berry flavor.

Jouhen-san -> I got off at Kami-Itabashi from Maeshima-san and went to Hungry Heaven, but there was an unexpected line. It was too hot to wait, so I moved to my final destination, Materiel. I was able to visit during the day this time, so almost all varieties were available. The delicious bamboo shoot Mont Blanc from last time was available, as well as Coupe Creme d'Ange and more. This time, I purchased the Gâteau à la Fraises, which was also of high quality! It might be on par with Eglise Douce's Chantilly Fraises. It was so delicious! I also tried the Verrine Pêche Melba, which had an even stronger impact! It was described as "a verrine-style Pêche Melba with white peach compote wrapped in compote syrup jelly, combined with vanilla Bavarois and framboise sauce." It was even more delicious than the Coupe Creme d'Ange from last time. I was completely captivated, so I have decided to visit this shop regularly. I am interested in the monthly dessert glass only available in the store, so I plan to visit next month. Gâteau à la Fraises 700 yen, Verrine Pêche Melba 850 yen.

I often pass by the Materiel restaurant near Oyama's house. Today, I bought Fromage Cru, a cheesecake that focuses on ingredients. It has layers of cream, white chocolate, cheesecake, and cookie dough on top. The cheesecake has two layers, with a light outer layer and a rich inner layer of cheese. It's not too sweet and absolutely delicious!

A person who usually eats sloppy food and drinks cheap alcohol suddenly craves something delicate, so they come to this place. The only option available for dining in is a monthly plate, while cakes and other items are for takeout only, so keep that in mind. The dessert, Glass a la Vanille, consists of pineapple and mango chunks, banana mousse, exotic jelly, mango and coconut Vacherin, caramel sauce, and a vanilla grass garnish. It's sweet, cold, and delicious! It's so incredibly tasty that it leaves your brain in a confused state, unable to comprehend why it's so good, while your stomach and tongue revel in its deliciousness. A friend who is knowledgeable about sweets and makes their own desserts helped explain the flavors, allowing me to finally appreciate the taste. I clearly need to improve my culinary knowledge. I definitely need some coffee or tea to go with this dessert. The restaurant provides water upon request, but for amateurs like me, it's not a problem. It's like how ramen shops serve water at the end so you can fully enjoy the soup. This place was a bit too advanced for someone like me who tried to eat the "vanilla grass" garnish. I enjoyed it, but I want to come back with more knowledge to fully appreciate it!

I entered the store about 15 minutes before closing time, and was relieved to see that there were still plenty of items left for that time of day. I shared a Lemon Tartlet (700 yen), a Coconut Mango Meringue (800 yen), and a Creme Caramel (400 yen) with my wife and daughter. Everything was really delicious and of high quality. When asked if I was okay with the coconut in the dessert, I didn't mind at all. The caramel in the Creme Caramel was a bit bitter, which was not suitable for young children. I would like to visit again at a different time to try more of their offerings.

We decided to come to this cake shop near my birthday after seeing the reviews on the internet. The cakes here have a beautiful glossy finish. Each cake looks beautiful. We came here seeking this luster. My daughter likes chocolate, so we bought this cake. It has a slightly more adult taste, "It's delicious but a bit too adult for me," said my literature-loving junior high school daughter. Indeed, when you take a bite, it's not just a sweet cake, but a world with layers of depth. All the cakes in the showcase are beautiful, making you feel excited as if looking at a jewelry showcase. When my daughter grows a little more adult, I want her cake to be here. I look forward to her mouth becoming a little more adult. We ate it with four people. It was just the right amount.

Good evening. I am beauty acupuncturist Kozue. The other day, when I went to Oyama to eat the famous fried rice, I stopped by this shop. Materiel is one of the top 100 sweets shops, and it was one of the shops I had wanted to visit for a while. There were indoor table seats and outdoor terrace seats for eating in, but it was said that only customers ordering eat-in exclusive menu items could use them. Therefore, this time I decided to buy the next cakes for take-out. The ones I bought this time were Amethyst for 750 yen and Tartlette au Citron for 700 yen. Amethyst is a round cake with a beautiful purple color, as the name suggests. On the top, there is a meringue that smells sweet like burnt caramel, and below that, there is purple cream, and even further down, orange marinated in red wine is used. It's a cake for adults with the flavor of red wine and orange. Tartlette au Citron is said to be a cake that modernizes the classic lemon tart. The sweet and sour taste of lemon goes very well with the summer season. It is a cake with a good balance of sweetness and acidity, with a refreshing taste. All the cakes at this shop are beautifully made, and just looking at them made me excited. Both of the cakes I bought this time were very delicious, so I would like to try other cakes next time. Thank you for the meal.
