A popular sweets shop in Sangenjaya. Despite the incredibly high score of 3.94, the simple and modest appearance of the shop took me by surprise, but the taste was truly that of a top-notch establishment! It's about a 15-minute walk from Sangenjaya Station. For someone like me who isn't familiar with the area, it doesn't seem like a very trendy area, passing through residential streets, the shop is located along a moderately busy road. The exterior is not flashy or eye-catching, not resembling a typical sweets shop, almost easy to overlook. However, upon opening the automatic door and descending a few steps to the semi-basement floor, there was a showcase displaying beautifully crafted cakes. The freshly squeezed Mont Blanc (tax-inclusive 650 yen) is a popular specialty. Each one is finished with chestnut paste squeezed after ordering. It's recommended to eat it within an hour, but it might have been 3-4 hours for me. Nevertheless, it was incredibly delicious! I wonder if the taste and texture would be different if consumed within an hour. The PREMIUM Shortcake (tax-inclusive 1,000 yen) may not look impressive in photos, but it's about 1.5 times the size of a typical shortcake. It's like being cut from a large whole cake, not a medium-sized one. The generously cut mangoes on top, plenty of fruits inside, and the elegant and smooth cream make it exquisite! The Flapiss (tax-inclusive 540 yen) is a cute-looking item. While famous sweets shops may have similar products, this one is truly outstanding! The balance and harmony of pistachio and raspberry are excellent, making it not only visually appealing but also delicious. It may be a bit difficult to buy due to its cute heart shape, but it's not too sweet and is recommended for men as well. The opening hours seem to change frequently, and there was information that they close at 5:30 pm, so I rushed in around 4:45 pm on Saturday. There were still plenty of cake varieties available, and it was not crowded. Although there was no sign of closing soon, I forgot to confirm the closing time. The access is not great, and there is no vibrant charm. However, there is a reason why it's so popular. It conveyed a sense of being loved by the locals. It was delicious, and I felt like supporting this shop!
