I brought this mille-feuille to a friend's party. It's a familiar deliciousness for me, but my friends were so impressed. They were already full from the meal, but they devoured it. They even asked me to make sure to bring it again next time we gather. It's a big responsibility, but it's rare to find a dessert that everyone enjoys so much, so I'll do my best! Oh, and this mille-feuille can be easily cut with a fork. It's delicious and anyone can eat it beautifully. That's also amazing!

Revisited. A place in Takanawa-dai where you can pick up sweets with a complete reservation system, with 4 days off per week. Reservations are a hassle, they only have whole cakes, and there's no fun in choosing a cake from the showcase... but the taste of the sweets is outstandingly delicious, which is a bit of a dilemma (lol). I purchased the European Pear Japone that I really liked last year, as the season has started. Ryoko now has a system where they email the purchaser when the cake is ready, so I wait for the email before leaving home. The email arrived after the reserved time slot had passed, but honestly, I didn't mind waiting at home at all. This system is convenient and nice. The staff girl apologized to me for making me wait, but I didn't mind rushing home and chilling the cake in the fridge before enjoying it. Japone European Pear 14cm ¥4,520 (tax included) A combination of smooth sponge, concentrated European pear puree, cream, custard, and pear. They use a rare pear variety called Red Partred. The balance of smooth and juicy texture with a moderate acidity is excellent. (Limited time product) The pear variety is different from the one I had last year. I thought it was an apple because the skin is red (lol). But when you eat it, it's definitely pear (obviously). I knew it, but it's really delicious. I've tried several Japone varieties here, but in my opinion, the pear (and chocolate) stands out. Normally, strawberry is the main fruit for shortcake, but when it comes to Japone, pear is the clear winner. The fluffy cream and the gentle sweetness of the pear make a perfect marriage. The yellow sponge with a fine texture enhances the richness of the cream, and adding a bit of custard cream to create a contrast in flavor is also cool. However, the cereal decoration on top was a bit of a letdown. That's the only downside. A certain store that was selected as the best shortcake in Japan this year said something like "the best shortcake in Japan," but in my opinion, the Pear Japone is the best shortcake in Japan. Anyway, I was very satisfied to be able to enjoy the Pear Japone that I could only eat a little of last year. Alright, next time, I'll do my best to buy the Chocolate Japone!! Of course, I'll buy other things besides Japone too.

This is a review of the famous cake shop 'Pâtisserie Ryoco' located in Shirokanedai, Minato-ku, Tokyo. The shop has been ranked as a 'BRONZE' on Tabelog and selected as one of the top 100 sweets shops. The shop is only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and reservations are required through their website using TableCheck. The cakes, especially the 'Japone' series and the 'Tarte Fromage Cassis Berry,' are delicious and well-crafted. The shop is known for its high-quality desserts and has consistently received the 'BRONZE' award from 2018 to 2023. Reservations must be made in advance, and payment is required at the time of booking. The 'Japone Peach (14cm)' cake is highly recommended for its delicious peach shortcake. Overall, the shop offers a unique and delightful dessert experience, but navigating the reservation system may require some patience and understanding.

Revisited. A confectionery pickup and delivery location in Takanawa-dai with a 4-day work week and reservation-only system. There are many drawbacks, such as the hassle of making reservations, only offering whole cakes, and not being able to choose from a showcase of products... but the taste of the confections is outstanding, so it's a dilemma. I had been intentionally avoiding Ryoko during the summer (because it's difficult to bring home cakes), but I suddenly felt the urge to eat it, so I made a reservation. Well, I couldn't get a whole cake, so I got a cream puff instead. But the cream puff is also incredibly delicious, so no problem. Nowadays, once the confections are ready, the store will send me an email, so I wait for the email before leaving home. I arrived at the store under the scorching sun, feeling like a zombie almost, but surprisingly, there were no customers in front of the store. I was able to pick up the cream puffs very smoothly. Then I hurried home to eat them before the cream puff shells lost their freshness. The cream puffs (2 for 800 yen) are made with robust dough kneaded with domestic wheat and high-quality butter, layered with crunchy almond dough and baked. They are filled with rich custard made with eggs and vanilla. As expected, they are extremely delicious. The perfect match between the sweet, overflowing custard and the crunchy almond dough attached to the cream puff is just amazing. It's a perfect marriage. The fact that the texture of the cream puff dough did not deteriorate at all, even though I ate it immediately after getting home, is truly remarkable. It's seriously the best cream puff I've ever had. While there are many delicious cream puffs sold at various shops, this one is on a different level. And the fact that you can buy it without waiting in line is also a big plus. If you ever feel like eating a delicious cream puff, you can't go wrong with this place. I'm looking forward to the chocolate cream puffs during the Valentine's season.

I visited the popular patisserie Patisserie Ryoko in Shirogane. It operates on a reservation-only basis, and on this day, I tried their Melon from Japan. The cream was soft and had an elegant taste, truly delicious. I can see why it's so popular. Their baked goods and choux cream are also well-received, so I'd like to try making a reservation again next time. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

A shop where you have to make a reservation to buy any products. It's actually quite convenient and easy to understand. This time, I bought cream puffs as a gift. They cost 400 yen each. They are made to order at the reserved time, so the puff pastry is crispy and the cream inside is mainly custard. It was very rich and delicious. I also wanted to try their cakes, but considering the distance from my home, I don't have many opportunities to buy them. I hope to have another chance to purchase them in the future.

The other day, I had the pleasure of reuniting with my admired mentor and Japan's top sweets reviewer in Osaka after a month. They kindly gifted me Ryoko's baked goods. I had tried their cream puffs before, but this was my first time trying their pound cake (assorted). It made me realize that Ryoko's strength lies in their baked goods. It was incredibly delicious. Thank you for the treat.

You need to make a reservation online in advance. I made a reservation for pick-up on a holiday at 10:00 when reservations started. The store is a bit far from each station. Depending on the timing, there were a few people waiting in line for pick-up. I bought a 14cm Tart Fromage Shine Muscat for 5280 yen (the appearance is a bit damaged due to carrying it around), and it was really delicious! The cream, custard cream, semi-soft cheesecake part, and tart crust were all delicious. It's sweet but not too sweet. They are generous with the cream, which is great. There are plenty of large Shine Muscat grapes. I can see why this is so popular. It's difficult to make a reservation, but I want to eat it again.

The child's birthday and my available dates didn't match up, so I hadn't eaten here recently. This chocolate cake was my first time trying it, and it's really well-balanced. I'm glad I came to Tokyo. Thank you.

Japone Peach 14cm 4,600 yen For peach lovers, this cake is irresistible. The gentle sponge cake with peach-flavored cream, plenty of ripe peaches on top of the cake, and a generous amount of peaches inside the cake. It's rare to find a cake where you can truly enjoy the taste of peaches. Looking forward to next year. I was able to enjoy the last peach cake of the season.

Japone Momo ★★★★★ The appearance and shape are not very professional, but have a handmade, rustic charm. The taste is perfect!!! The flavor and texture are similar to a homemade cake, with a natural deliciousness that feels like the ultimate homemade cake. It's not as firm as cheap store-bought whole cakes, so when you cut it, the shape may crumble a bit, making it not ideal for birthday parties. I would love to try their chocolate cake when the weather gets colder...!

Terrine Chocolat 4800 yen, Choux Cream 800 yen, a famous patisserie that requires advance reservations! The Terrine Chocolat is incredibly rich and perfect for chocolate lovers. The presentation is beautiful, with small chocolate bars adding a playful touch. The Choux Cream has a crispy shell and a deliciously rich cream filling.

The head chef of the sushi restaurant I respect still goes to the market to gather information, as he says. This time, I visited Ryoko and was able to obtain valuable insider information that cannot be found elsewhere. It made me realize the importance of regularly visiting the actual site. This time, I mainly bought pound cakes and financiers for gifts, but I couldn't resist trying the choux cookies. When I took a bite, the cream burst out. The cream was rich, and when I scooped up the overflow and ate it, I was once again amazed at its richness.

This restaurant has won the Tabelog Bronze award and is by reservation only, making it difficult to book a table. It is only open three afternoons a week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). The most famous items here are the entremet cakes and tarts, which sell out quickly once they are available. The tart was as delicious as always, with a crispy texture and a wonderful aroma. They offer three types of fresh and juicy peaches. The cream puffs are not too expensive and taste great. While it may not be as difficult to make a reservation for the financiers, they are a softer type that is not to my liking. Overall, this is a great choice if you can manage to find a reservation slot that fits your schedule.

I happened to find a patisserie with over 3.9 rating on Tabelog's top 100 list. I was a bit worried that it might not be to my liking, as I usually don't agree with high-rated places. I made a reservation for Wednesday, thinking it would be easy to get a spot. I arrived at 1 pm, even though I could have come later since I didn't receive a text message confirmation. I reached the patisserie in about 10 minutes from Takanawa-dai station. I bought 6 cream puffs and took them home in a cooler bag. After letting them chill for 15 minutes, I tried them and they were amazing! The choux pastry was crispy and had a unique texture, while the cream was rich and perfectly sweet. Even my kids, who usually don't praise my dessert choices, loved them. I definitely want to go back every month. Thank you for the delicious treats!

If I hadn't been on the Food Log Top 100 Restaurants tour, I wouldn't have come across this place. It was really worth the walk, and the flavors were truly impressive. This is a reservation-only sweets shop that is part of the Top 100 and also a Bronze-rated establishment. I made a reservation through a reservation site for Patisserie Ryoko. When searching for reservations, you can find the site easily. I ordered two cream puffs, but each box actually contained two, so I ended up with four. I bought them and headed straight home. It's quite a walk from the station to Shirokanetakanawa, with some hills along the way, but the bus stop is right in front. There's a convenient community bus in the Minato Ward called Chii Bus that runs for only ¥100. It starts from Shinagawa Station, so it's very convenient. The shop has a cute pink exterior. You'll receive a message at your reservation time to pick up your order. The cream puffs were so delicious that I was amazed at how something could taste so good. Everything about them was perfect. I think I'll get one of their cakes for my birthday. The frequent messages on your smartphone about your reservation details are a nice touch, ensuring that you're not kept waiting. It's impressive that they use such a system.

I accessed the reservation site exactly at 10:00 a week ago and made a reservation for Japone. Today, I went to pick it up. On a different day, I also had the Chocolate Terrine, so I will share my thoughts on that as well. First, regarding the Peach Japone, it is really delicate and tends to crumble easily. I tried my best to bring it back intact, but it was slightly damaged. The whipped cream is delicious, not too sweet, and very easy to eat. The sponge cake is also fluffy. Overall, it was excellent. As for the Chocolate Terrine, the chocolate is rich and tasty, but it can be a bit overwhelming, so I recommend sharing it with 3-4 people. Ordering can be a bit of a hassle, but it's definitely worth trying. Thank you for the meal.

I came seeking the best cake in Japan. I arrived on Saturday at 3 pm. I was able to make a reservation for Tuesday from 3 pm to 4 pm. I was able to pick up the cake a little after 4 pm on the day. I hurried home. As explained by the shop, there was some liquefaction happening. It seems like it's best to eat this cake as soon as possible. The tart had plenty of grapes on top. They seem to pay attention to details like peeling the skin off. The tart crust was moist yet crispy, sweet and flavorful. The cream puff had almonds on the outside, crispy and fragrant. The inside was filled with custard without any gaps. The balance of fragrance and sweetness was exquisite. Since this shop is unpredictable with time, it seems like it's best to pick up the cake when there are no restrictions. The cake is loaded with fruits and I think it has the best quality in Japan, but personally, I find it too sweet. Next time, I want to try their Japanese-style cake and confirm if it's truly the best in Japan.

The shop is only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays by reservation only. As an introduction, I pre-ordered two cream puffs for 800 yen instead of a large cake. Payment was made by card, so I only needed to pick up the order on the day. I received a text message around 3:10 PM confirming that the order was ready, after making a 3 PM reservation. I arrived 5 minutes later, confirmed my name, and received the order. The staff inside the shop were friendly. The cream puff pastry was impressive with nuts and meringue. The custard was plentiful and sweet. It was delicious, but the portion might be too much. Overall, it was a valuable experience.

Cream Puff ★★★★★ Without a doubt, the best cream puff in my life. I can't eat any other cream puffs anymore, haha. The taste, creaminess, smoothness, and crispiness of the generous cream, as well as the flavor and crispiness of the pastry, are all perfect. At 400 yen each, it seems cheap for such perfection. I am grateful for the luck of having this place near my workplace. Next, I'll try their cakes!

Revisiting: I have lost count of how many times I have visited this place. Assortment and atmosphere: Even though it used to be reservation-only and there was quite a wait before, they have improved and now the handover is quick. It would be perfect if they could win the click war! Taste: I think it's the most delicious cake in Japan. I especially love the Shine Muscat flavor. The price also feels much cheaper compared to cakes in Tokyo. I would like to try purchasing it again around my birthday.
