◎ This is a petit gateau wrapped in white chocolate mousse with paradiberry and pistachio cream. It has a simple taste without overwhelming sweetness, creating a harmonious overall flavor. ◎ A petit gateau with mocha coffee sponge and coffee cream filling. It has a distinct coffee flavor with a hint of liquor that prevents it from becoming monotonous. Despite its mature appearance and taste, it surprisingly has a mild bitterness. The texture is moist and enjoyable. ◎ A fromage blanc cheesecake with a gentle cheese flavor and a slight acidity. Its lightness makes it a delightful treat that won't leave you feeling heavy. ◎ Petit fours selection (baked goods tin) showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of each piece. The coconut sable is a standout favorite with its crispy texture and pleasantly sweet taste. ★ Exquisite ◎ Very delicious 〇 Delicious △ Hmm... Additional notes: Items sell out quickly even while waiting in line. It's recommended to arrive early, especially right after opening, to secure your desired treats. Reservations are accepted. Thank you for the meal! (^^)!

On the evening of my last day in Tokyo, I stopped by Takashimaya Nihonbashi store to pick up my reservation right before boarding the Shinkansen. This time, I decided to go with the Weekend, priced at 2140 yen including tax, which is a burnt butter and lemon cake. It has a moist and fine texture. While the taste is soft and gentle, both the butter and lemon flavors come through strongly. Compared to your average lemon cake, it's quite impressive. The outer layer is coated with apricot jam and icing sugar, topped with chopped pistachios for decoration. It used to cost 1944 yen (1800 yen + tax), but with a slight price increase, it's now 2140 yen, which is still reasonable. It seems like they are managing to hold back from raising the price too much.

Sweets Top 100 Stores 2023. I went as soon as they opened on Saturday, but there was already a line. A really popular shop. The Opera (454 yen), Framboise (351 yen), and Mocha (491 yen) felt like they had alcohol in them. The Chou Parisienne (351 yen) is a chou cream filled with custard cream. They're all small, but satisfying. The Paradis (621 yen) had pistachios and wild strawberries in white chocolate, and it was my favorite! Even though it's always sold out, finally being able to eat it feels great. Ate a lot of cake since the morning. Satisfied. By the way, I also bought some herb sausages on the side. Thank you for the meal!

I received what I had reserved in advance by phone. When making a reservation, it cannot be accepted if it is too close to the date. Let's ask from what date they are currently accepting reservations. When I made this reservation, I asked if Mont Blanc had started. It hadn't started yet, and there was no detailed information on when it would start at the Nihonbashi store, so I didn't know. I was planning to buy about 2-3 if they had Mont Blanc. I went at 2 pm, and at that time, the items that were not sold out were two types of the largest tin of baked goods (over 8000 yen), marron glace, fruit paste box, nougat. There were still various cakes available, such as cake chocolat orangeina, cake angle large, and smenno. In terms of charcuterie, there were one pack of sausages each, and a little bit of pate. For fresh sweets, there were only two large whole cakes (entremets). It's my favorite among the fresh sweets. The scent of alcohol is firm but not strong compared to other items at Obonvuutan. Soft mousse + concentrated sweet and sour sauce. It's small, so I want to buy two at a time. It's a heavy cake made with almond powder, with a crumbly and heavy almond dough coated with pink raspberry buttercream. A heavy cake. It's the opposite of a fine, fluffy sponge. I ate it at night, but it absorbed the scent of the refrigerator where it was stored, reducing its original deliciousness. Friandises (12 pieces) Petit Four fresh sweets. This is the smaller size of the 12 pieces. Although small, it includes "Alibaba" and "Opera," which have been made for a long time at Obonvuutan. The choux pastry has a strong rum flavor in the custard cream inside, which is surprising. Contrary to appearance. The potato-shaped patat also has a strong rum flavor. A mixture of almond powder, sugar, raisins, and rum. The walnut-topped brown one has a crunchy sugar texture, almost like a confectionery. It was a product that felt very Obonvuutan-like. This time, I went on the Ginza Line subway. When you exit the Ginza Line ticket gate, you can enter from the "Subway Exit" on the 1st basement floor of Takashimaya in less than a minute. Obonvuutan is located near that subway exit. I have also gone from Nihonbashi Station on the Asakusa Line to Takashimaya, but it takes time. Even after leaving the ticket gate, you will have to walk through the underground passage, so the Ginza Line is recommended.

Renowned French pastry chef Katsuhiko Kawada's French pastry shop is located on the basement floor of the main building of Nihonbashi Takashimaya in Japan. Around 2 PM, I went for a preview because I had something in mind, and to my surprise, there were cakes left in the showcase today, not just baked goods and charcuterie! Although my original intention was to preview sweets for gifts, I couldn't resist and ended up ordering just one... feeling a bit guilty. I ordered the "Delice." The cream, a mix of tartness and sweetness from strawberries, spread wonderfully in my mouth. The sponge cake-like dough that sandwiches the cream was light and airy, almost like a soft biscuit. It turned out to be an unexpectedly delicious teatime treat.

I purchased smoked sausage and pistachio pâté. I couldn't resist buying them when I saw them in the showcase in the evening. Enjoyed the sausage in the morning and the pâté with wine in the evening. It's a happiness to be able to enjoy this quality at home! Thank you for the delicious meal.

The cakes were almost sold out. I wanted to try one... But I changed my mind and decided to get Campanile, terrine, and sausages for some good snacks with alcohol. I talked to the staff and ended up purchasing the terrine volaille. Excited to pair it with wine or sake, looking forward to it! 😄🍷

I visited the renowned long-established Western confectionery shop, Obonvuutan, located in the basement of Nihonbashi Takashimaya. I have visited their main store in Oyamadai several times. When I visited around 3 p.m. on this day, most of the items were already sold out. It's incredibly popular! I had the last piece of Mocha, which was rich and a classic French dessert. Next time, I'll come earlier to try other varieties. Thank you for the meal!

On my day off, I stopped by this shop at Nihonbashi Takashimaya. It is a renowned patisserie that has established French confectionery in Japan. I have visited the main store several times, but I have never had a meal there, only bought cakes and bread. This time, I purchased the "Pate de Campagne." It was my first time trying charcuterie. The taste was like a model of Pate de Campagne that is not inferior to a long-established bistro, with a mild flavor that is easy to eat and delicious. I would like to try the Pate en Croute as well.

I visited "Au Bon Vieux Temps Nihombashi Takashimaya Store" in the basement of Nihombashi Takashimaya♪ It's quite difficult to find shops in the basement. Since it was late, there were hardly any shops open... Mocha ¥491 has a bitter taste that is not too sweet and easy to eat. It's a stylish cake♪ I wanted to see more of their lineup, so I'd like to go earlier next time! Thank you for the meal^ ^

I had some errands in Nihonbashi on Sunday and around noon, I went to the Takashimaya basement to visit au bon vieux temps, a shop in Nihonbashi that I had been wanting to check out. There was only one customer in front of me, and they had a few sweets for sale! By the time I arrived, only souvenirs and side dishes were left, which I had never bought before, so I was excited. The person in front of me ordered the last cream puff, so I ordered the Eclair Cafe for 460 yen. Even though it was just one item, they put it in a nice box for me, which made me feel very grateful. I ate it at a seating area outside, and being a foreign-style sweet, it was unbelievably sweet and delicious! The sweets here are really tasty, and since Odakyu Line or Todoroki is quite far, I'm glad I was able to buy it! Thank you for the meal. I will definitely go back ^ ^

⭐️Selected as one of Tokyo's top 100 dessert shops in 2022!⭐️I visited around 2 p.m. on Saturday! Many items were sold out. I bought a set of Western-style sweets as a souvenir and it was well received.⭐️Although I am not knowledgeable about French pastries, their deliciousness is evident at first sight. [Order Details] ● Assorted baked sweets (Western-style) for 5,093 yen. Petit fours, sec, one-bite size baked goods.

It was well received as a souvenir! As items were selling out quickly, it's recommended to visit early. The texture might lose its crispiness if it gets humid. Enjoy your tea time, everyone (^^)!

On a weekday at 3:00 PM, I stopped by to get a gift for a discerning customer, but all the gifts were sold out. So, I decided to get something for myself here. The Weekend - this is a highly popular item from Oupon-san. A lemon pound cake coated with apricot jam. The texture of the cake is fine and moist. The sweet and sourness of the apricot jam. The richness of caramelized butter. The refreshing taste of lemon. The pistachio is a nice touch, making it elegant. It feels a bit luxurious.

I arrived at the subway entrance at 10:25 to pick up the reserved cake set. By 10:30, when the store opened, there were already many people lined up. I quickly went into the store and was 8th in line. While waiting, some items were sold out, so I only got 5 pieces. They immediately understood about the reservation. It had been a long time since I had a weekend like this. I took the cakes home to share with everyone. I was surprised by the boozy flavor in the cream puff. It was quite heavy and had a jelly-like texture around it, so be careful when holding it. The advice given with a lovely smile was great, and it turned out to be okay. My partner and I had a piece each for dinner that day, and then had half a piece each for breakfast the next day. We could eat as much as we wanted. Was it because of the refreshing apricot jam? The moist and crumbly dough, the gentle sweetness, the refreshing lemon, the rich jelly-like texture around it, and the sweetness of the dough all made a great combination. The lightness and richness of the flavor made it outstanding. The dough even evoked a sense of nostalgia. Is the apricot jam jelly around it different from the past? It's simply delicious and perfect for breakfast. It's a treat that you can eat as much as you want. Thank you for the meal.

I am traveling around the country in search of truly delicious food. I love everything from fine dining to casual eats. 【Area】Tokyo Nihonbashi area 【Genre】Western sweets 【Awards】Tabelog Sweets TOKYO Top 100 Stores 2022 【Number of Visits】2nd visit 【Crowdedness】It sells out quickly, so you have to go early. 【Brief Comment】I bought some baked goods that always sell out quickly. They were all delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Around 15:30, I went to Obon Vu Tan in the basement of Nihonbashi Takashimaya. The showcase was almost sold out. I was surprised at how popular it is. My friend used to live in Oyamadai, and whenever I visited my friend's house, we would go to Obon Vu Tan in Oyamadai together, and it was never sold out, so I was surprised. The Obon Vu Tan in Nihonbashi Takashimaya is amazing. I bought the Gateau Chocolat aux Fruits, a chocolate cake with fruit confit. When I opened the bag, I could smell rum. It's an adult chocolate cake. It would go well with coffee or tea, but for some reason, when I eat chocolate cake, I feel like drinking milk, so I chose milk (laughs). Yes, Gateau Chocolat aux Fruits goes well with milk!

It is often sold out by the evening, so it's hard to get, but I happened to pass by at 1 pm on this day and was able to purchase the cakes in the photo, opera cake (chocolate cake), and pâté! Since there was only a little left, it seems that the best time to buy is indeed in the morning. The next opportunity to buy seems far off. I also want to try buying sausages and baked goods.

Au Bon Vieux Temps often sells out even if you go early. The popular cake was still available even after 2 o'clock on this day. There were plenty of fruits on top and inside. The cream was subtly sweet and to my liking. I also purchased herb sausages. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I visited a shop after 4:00 p.m. on a weekday to challenge the situation where it's hard to buy cakes in the first half of the week (so many patisseries closed). There were only 2 items left, including petit gateaux (although there were still baked goods available). I was happy to see that they also sell deli items. Reservations are recommended by the day before. Personally, I found the heart-shaped whole cake a bit too sweet, but the Paradis, with flavors of raspberries, pistachios, and a hint of cheese, was delicious! I haven't been craving sweet things lately, but I'm curious, so I will visit the main store in Oyamadai.

The other day, I bought a set of petits fours for a gift. I arrived around 12:30 and the store was quite empty. When I went down the stairs from the first floor at 10:30, there was already a line of about 30 people! It was so popular that I couldn't make a reservation for what I wanted (due to the season, it was already time for summer gifts). I couldn't reserve the cakes I wanted, so I ordered an Alibabab and a cream cheese to take home. The staff came to help one by one, with lovely smiles and great service. The cooling packs were only for one hour, which was a bit inconvenient. The Alibabab looked a bit bulky, but had a nice rum aroma. The brioche dough was dense and firm, soaked in rum syrup. The rum syrup had a subtle sweetness and a nostalgic rum flavor. The orange beer was a bit bland on its own, which was disappointing. The raisins were plump from the rum syrup, giving a juicy burst. The custard cream inside was blended with the rum syrup, giving an adult taste. The cheesecake had a crispy base and a smooth, gentle cheesecake part. The price of the Alibabab was 450 yen, which was the same as the cheesecake, making the Alibabab recommended. The rum flavor in the Alibabab was serious. It seems like many cakes lately use alcohol for flavor, but having a strong alcohol taste is delightful. You can make reservations but need to line up to buy. The staff is kind and helpful, so you can consult with them. It was a delicious meal.

In recent years, when I casually stopped by in the early afternoon, there were hardly any products or creations left. Especially the Petit Fours Sec were sold out beautifully, and you had to line up early in the morning to buy them. Nearby at Coredo Nihonbashi, the Hyogo Prefecture's Awajishima's Michel Bach set up a corner with a café. The extremely popular Cookie Rosa is sold irregularly, so it's essential to check the sales date on Instagram, and apparently there are long lines just like in Awajishima. But you can make a reservation here. Until a few years ago, you could buy them with free shipping at Takashimaya online for summer and winter gift-giving, but now you can't. Even though I like the meringues here, they are not sold individually. I've been eagerly waiting, so I pre-ordered the Petit Fours Sec small can for 3800 yen (tax included) with a shelf life of three weeks. When I reserved it in early June, I was able to purchase it exactly one week later. Even on this day, everything was sold out by early afternoon. Perhaps because everything was sold out, the service also exuded the popularity of the store. It had been a while since I had it. There were no cracks in the moist cookies, which brought back memories. They provided one complimentary paper bag for takeaway, which was greatly appreciated. The second bag onwards, for purposes like handing them out, was charged. Thank you for the meal.
