Visited during Golden Week with no wait! This shop has a threatening Foodlog rating of '3.88' and has been selected as one of the top 100 shops from 2018 to 2022 in the national sweets Foodlog ranking, ranking 32nd out of 60,256. This shop makes chocolate from cocoa beans, making it a must-visit for chocolate lovers! Order list: 1. Chou a la creme - The pastry has a crispy texture with a strong bitter taste, and the cream inside is not too sweet but lacks richness. After the cocoa flavor, a slight bitterness follows, giving it an adult taste. 2. Madagascar - The most popular item in the shop! The chocolate sauce is rich and incredibly delicious! The mousse is smooth, and the berry jelly in the middle adds a nice sweet and sour touch that is irresistible! 3. L'or Noir Chocola - A chocolate-coated chocolate roll cake! This is truly amazing! The inside of the roll cake is filled with plenty of chocolate cream, layered with chocolate cream, sweetness, and incredibly delicious! 4. Saint Michel - Buttercream chocolate sandwiched between chocolate dough, with buttercream on top! While the taste may tend to be monotonous compared to the other three varieties, it has a moderate sweetness and is incredibly delicious! All of them were incredibly delicious! The quality is very high! This is a shop that chocolate lovers should definitely visit! Thank you for the meal!

I was looking for a place to have dessert in Gotanda, and I found one. The store wasn't crowded, but it was popular with people of all ages coming in constantly. I wanted to have cake, but it wasn't suitable for takeout, so I opted for the gelato I was looking for. The flavors were mostly chocolate-based, like praline, pistachio, vanilla, rum, etc. They all looked really tempting. I chose vanilla, chocolate, and a rich chocolate-only flavor. I was planning to eat while walking, but there was a bench in front of the store so I sat down and enjoyed my gelato. I thought chocolate might be too heavy for a hot day, but when I tried it, I was surprised by the rich chocolate flavor, the right amount of sweetness, and the smooth texture. It was really delicious even in the summer. The vanilla was quite sweet with lots of toppings, which was interesting. It's even better when eaten together with the chocolate! I would love to visit again if it's nearby... Thank you for the meal!

I visited the store 30 minutes before closing. It was a good day for sales, as most of the cakes were sold out. I had my favorite pistachio cake, a chocolate cake, and tried a cream puff for the first time. I imagined the cream puff would have a rich chocolate filling inside the crispy shell. The filling was actually a cream mixed with cocoa, giving a nice cocoa flavor. It paired well with the crispy shell. It was a delightful experience. I will definitely buy it again next time, along with the cocoa ice cream. It's available until October. Thank you very much. It was a delicious meal.

I visited the store located in Toranomon, but was curious about the main store. The prices are a bit high, but I bought a chocolate cake. It seems fine to keep it at room temperature. The taste is irresistible for chocolate lovers. They have a variety of products, so I would like to try more in the future.

I visited L'ecacacao in Gotanda. They are famous for their chocolate desserts, and on this day I tried their chocolate choux cream and chocolate cake. The chocolate was rich and had a sophisticated taste, not too sweet. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I had been curious about a sweets shop specializing in cocoa for a long time. One day at Gotanda Station, I decided to go check it out. I was hoping to be knocked out by a strong and bitter chocolate flavor. I tried the Nativo and Loro Chocola. Both were quite sweet! I was surprised by the gap between my expectations of a bitter cocoa-scented adult dessert and the overly sweet reality. These are chocolate cakes that even children can enjoy without worry. It really makes a difference what you expect, as my evaluation changed significantly. I chose the Nativo because it uses orange liqueur, but I didn't really taste the bitter-sweet orange liqueur flavor, just a hint of orange essence. And it was just too sweet, lacking the cocoa flavor I was hoping for. The Loro Chocola was also very sweet, reminding me of the overly sweet chocolate cakes I used to get from the local bakery as a child. I couldn't really taste the cocoa flavor in either of them. They were so sweet that I thought about soaking them in rum or brandy. Unfortunately, the desserts I chose that day left me with the impression of just having eaten something extremely sweet. My expectation of being knocked out by cocoa was not met. This restaurant has received high ratings, so I must be in the minority. However, as a reference for those in the same minority group and as a personal note, I have written my honest thoughts. I recommend it to those who enjoy very sweet chocolate cakes!

I went to buy Shoe Alacreme as a souvenir for my friend. They loved it when I brought it as a gift before, so this time they specifically requested it. It's a slightly bitter adult shoe, with a lovely appearance and delicious taste. I'm sure they will be pleased. While I was purchasing the shoe, my family member bought and ate ice cream. I took a bite and it was delicious!

Sweets TOKYO, a popular dessert shop. Visited on a Friday around 13:45, but the shop was on a break from 13:00 to 14:15. Waited around and revisited at 14:15. There were already a few customers waiting for the shop to reopen, and more people entered as soon as it did. There didn't seem to be a limit on the number of customers allowed in. Chose a few cakes that looked delicious: - Gâteau au Chocolat 620 yen - Madagascar 720 yen - Saint Michel 690 yen - Lulou Chocolat 760 yen Total: 2,790 yen Shared them with my family at home: - Gâteau au Chocolat: A rich chocolate cake made by crushing cocoa beans and baking the mixture. Simple appearance but rich chocolate flavor, made even more moist by the whipped cream on top. - Madagascar: A 72% chocolate mousse from Madagascar with a red fruit jelly. The rich mousse and the acidity of the red fruit jelly complement each other perfectly, melting in your mouth instantly. - Saint Michel: A chocolate buttercream sandwiched between cocoa and hazelnut dough. Simple appearance but the chocolate dough is moist, and the chocolate cream on top is delicious. - Lulou Chocolat: A cake made with cocoa dough and bitter chocolate ganache. Looked delicious and tasted amazing with the combination of the dough, cream, and chocolate on the outside. All the chocolate cakes were delicious. Thank you for the feast.

The cookies were amazing. I tried chocolate cookies and sablé, among other baked goods. The chocolate was rich but the aftertaste was refreshing, with delicate flavors. If you received this as a gift, you would think the person has great taste. I want to try the gelato next time. I will definitely come back.

I visited the main store of "Le Cacao", a top sweets shop, located an 8-minute walk from Gotanda Station. I arrived around 3 PM on a Saturday and there was no wait. I was able to pay smoothly. I ordered a double scoop of Gelato Peru (bitter chocolate made from Peruvian cacao) and Pistachio (from Italy) for 990 yen. It was served promptly, so I enjoyed it on the bench outside the shop. The pistachio had a nice texture and great flavor! It was delicious. The cacao was rich and aromatic, with both flavors standing out. Even when mixed, it was still delicious! I quickly finished it all and enjoyed every bite.

[Louro Chocola] @760 A roll cake with ganache and cream inside, coated with chocolate. The balance of sweetness, bitterness, richness, and flavor is excellent. Although it may not look fancy in chocolate color, once you taste it, you'll want to savor it all to yourself with a smile. [Shoe A La Creme] @590 Cocoa cream with a mild sweetness. The firm, thick choux pastry with crispy chocolate is delicious. It feels like they calculated it to be just moist enough after a little time has passed. [Ice Cream] @600 You can choose between a cone and a cup. I chose raspberry flavor. It's lightly sweet and refreshing, with the waffle cone having a solid cocoa color and a rich taste. The balance of the cakes is excellent, and my concept of chocolate has changed. Thank you for the meal.

Gotanda "LES CACAOS" is a chocolate specialty shop that is obsessed with cocoa. The chef trained in Paris for about 7 years and worked as a pastry chef at Pierre Marcolini after returning to Japan. The shop opened in Gotanda in 2016. I visited for the first time. They offer a variety of chocolate-related cakes, their signature bonbons, and baked goods in generous portions. They also have ice cream, which looks delicious. - Luloo Chocola: Looks great. Fine cocoa dough rolled with chocolate ganache cream inside. The dough is delicious, with a strong cocoa flavor. The chocolate coating is rich and satisfying. ¥760 - Pistache: Layers of pistachio cream, cocoa biscuit, chocolate cream, and pistachio biscuit. The chocolate cream is delicious. The pistachio biscuit is fragrant with a good texture, and the red currant's acidity adds a nice touch. ¥680 This patisserie allows you to fully enjoy the taste of chocolate. Next time, I want to try their signature "Bonbon Chocola" and the rich and delicious-looking ice cream. #Chocolate #Chocola #LesCacaos #Sweet #Chocolatier #Foodies #Gourmet #Gotanda #Shinagawa #ShinagawaSweets #GotandaSweets

This is my fourth visit to this favorite store, in addition to the Toranomon store, in the past two months. Today, I decided to skip the financiers and bought a pack of 10 sablés. It was extremely hot, so I also ordered a pistachio gelato, which was delicious. I couldn't resist taking a bite before taking a picture, so I'll make sure to snap a photo and share it next time.

I don't like chocolate as mentioned in my profile. Eating a lot of it makes me feel unwell. It's not that I hate it, but more that I'm not good with it. So when I do eat it, I only have a small bite. On the other hand, my wife is a self-proclaimed sweet tooth. This is a shop she favors. Cakes are getting more expensive due to the current high prices, and the portions are getting smaller. As far as I know, this shop has been expensive and small for a long time. In return, the quality is high. The chocolate flavors are really rich and you can enjoy the bitterness of adult taste. It's so delicious that even I, who doesn't like chocolate, can understand why people love it. When you bring it as a gift, the recipient will be delighted. It's very effective because it clearly shows that you bought it for them.

Ice Cream (Peru) 600 yen Gâteau au Chocolat de Nancy 420 yen It was around 5:30 pm on a Sunday. There was a couple eating ice cream on the bench outside the shop, and there were two groups inside the shop. Since it was a late hour, there were only two types of cakes left in the showcase. I quickly decided on the rich bitter chocolate cake as the other one I wanted was bought by the previous customer. So, I ended up buying ice cream and the chocolate cake. The chocolate cake was at room temperature, so it seemed like it could withstand the journey home. - Ice Cream (Peru) There were 6 types of ice cream in the display case, and since chocolate was the main theme of the shop, I chose one that would give me a full chocolate experience. "Peru: Bitter chocolate ice cream made from Peruvian cocoa." I found an empty bench in front of the shop (big enough for two people to sit) and decided to enjoy the ice cream there. It was extremely rich in chocolate flavor, as the name suggests, with a slightly bitter taste. Even at this time, the weather outside was hot, so the cold ice cream was a refreshing treat. - Gâteau au Chocolat de Nancy I decided to take this cake home with me. It was packed in a paper bag, which caused some damage to the surface of the cake, making it slightly crumbled. The expiration date on the sticker attached to the paper bag was the next day. The cake had a rich and bitter chocolate flavor with a hint of sweetness. When I inserted a fork, the surface crumbled a bit, but the inside was moist. The surface melted in the mouth, giving a slightly crumbly texture, but overall, it had a gooey feel. I wish I had tried the fresh cake. The rich and bitter one.

I visited "Le Cacao" for the first time, which I have been curious about for a while. It was about a 7-minute walk from JR Gotanda Station. The good smell of cocoa can be sensed even outside the shop. I visited around 4:30 pm on a Saturday, so there was no line and I was able to enter the shop right away, but the selection of products was limited, so I plan to visit earlier next time. The item I took out this time was Chou a la Creme for 590 yen. It has a unique appearance compared to regular cream puffs, reflecting the specialty of a chocolate shop. The crispy pastry uses cocoa, and the cream with a hint of cocoa flavor is not too sweet. The balance with the bitter cocoa on the surface is excellent, creating a sophisticated taste for adults. This sense-filled Chou a la Creme that can only be found here would surely be a delightful souvenir for chocolate lovers. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. Thank you very much.

My partner bought me a takeout of a rich bitter chocolate cake with a strong chocolate flavor. It has a mature taste that I really like. It somehow reminded me of the unrequited feelings of my first love back in elementary school.

Entering the luxurious interior of the store instantly lifts your mood. Everything looked so delicious that I spent a lot of time deciding what to order. In the end, I chose a dessert that wasn't too chocolatey, a Mont Blanc, and a Pistachio Mont Blanc. The Mont Blanc had a chocolate mousse inside and was absolutely delicious. I was amazed by how well chocolate and Mont Blanc go together. The Pistachio dessert had a sophisticated flavor. Pistachio and chocolate make a classic combination that everyone would enjoy. The access to the store was better than I expected, so I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!
