Angladian is a cake shop located in front of Kyoto University Hospital, run by a former pastry chef from the three-star restaurant "Joel Robuchon" in Tokyo. The level of cakes here is incredibly high, and it's safe to say they are the best in Kyoto. Today, I tried the Raspberry Macaron Cake and a chocolate mousse cake called "Vouloir" (meaning "desire" in French). Both cakes were rich yet elegantly sweet, making me crave a delicious cup of Earl Grey or Darjeeling tea to pair with them. I highly recommend visiting this wonderful cake shop!

The Lemon Tart is not the typical triangular shape with a generous amount of meringue, but a unique form with plenty of lemon cream sandwiched horizontally with tart crust. The cream has a balanced acidity and the meringue adds a rich touch. The thin tart crust complements the substantial lemon cream with a light texture. Similar to the Mille-feuille issue, it can be difficult to eat neatly so having a sharp knife may be helpful. Personally, I preferred the Ceylon mousse cake that I received as a gift.

First Visit 202302 (No.4268) 1. Purpose of Visit - Chose this shop as the 5th shop on the 4th day of Kyoto trip 2. Shop Information - Genre on Tabelog: Cake - Opened on April 25, 2020 - Owner chef worked as a pastry chef in the pastry department of the Michelin ☆☆☆ "Joel Robuchon" after training in France twice, then became independent in Kyoto - Business hours: 12:00-18:00 - Irregular holidays - Takeout only 3. Crowdedness on the day and atmosphere of the shop - Visited around 14:30 on a weekday with 2 customers already present and no customers after - Gallery-like atmosphere displaying cakes that look like works of art 4. Customer service - Service in accordance with the manual 5. Purchased items - Tart Pomme 680 yen: A cake that looks like a work of art and tastes delicious, with tart, almond pastry, apple jam, cinnamon cream, and apple slices. The deliciousness of the bottom tart is outstanding, showcasing the high level of the shop's baked goods. - Chocolat Noir 600 yen: The most popular item, Mont Blanc, was already sold out on the day. This delicate product is difficult for travelers as there is no eat-in space in the shop, so the purchased items need to be taken back to the hotel. As an alternative, the purchased item is a delicious cake for adults who love bitter chocolate. In conclusion, a shop visited for its photogenic appeal, offering delicious cakes with a chef's impressive background, comparable to a cake shop in Tokyo like LESS. I am now debating whether to prioritize getting the Mont Blanc on my next trip to Kyoto, sacrificing other options. Thank you for the meal.

Recommended and visited based on a recommendation. I heard they have French-style cakes. They open at 12:00 and do not accept phone reservations, only in-store reservations. It seems like it's run by just one person, and the quantity is limited, so if you're looking for something other than baked goods, it's best to go around 12:00 to be sure. "Chocolat" (648 yen) - Rich chocolate with ganache. The mousse part is smooth with a nice texture, and the ganache adds a good accent. It has a touch of Hermé. "Caramel Vanille" (680 yen) - A combination of caramel and pear. The balance of pear is good, with a presence that is not too overpowering. It gives off a well-behaved impression, and unless you are looking for something unique, you will most likely enjoy it. "Chou" (410 yen) - The crispy choux pastry gives a slight hint of rice cracker. The pastry has a relatively strong presence, which may be why the crème pâtissière is weak. Perhaps there is too much whipped cream. It may be a bit too airy. However, it is sure to be popular with everyone. If it's your first time, it's worth a try. It is probably one of the best in Kyoto city. Tandores is excluded, considering various factors such as location and availability.

"Joel Robuchon" is a newly opened restaurant in April 2020, where Chef Murata, who served as the pastry chef at Robuchon, is in charge. I was really looking forward to it because people from Robuchon often have a taste that I really like. ⭐️ Purchased Mont Blanc Cake ⭐️ Review: This cake is on the lighter side, but it has a big chestnut filling inside, so you can really taste the presence of chestnuts when you eat it. Chestnut pound cakes can sometimes be too rich or have a strong chestnut flavor that is overpowering, but this Mont Blanc cake manages to let you enjoy the sweetness of chestnuts without being overwhelming, allowing you to taste the chestnuts well. The texture of the cake is moist and delicious. Additionally, chestnut pound cakes can often become very expensive due to the high cost of chestnuts, so I was happy that this one was not overly pricey.

This is a relatively new cake shop that opens at 12 o'clock and closes when sold out. Both the exterior and interior exude a sense of luxury. When I visited right at 12 o'clock, the display case was neatly lined with several types of cakes. There weren't many cakes, with about 6 of each type. They have both classic and seasonal varieties. On the left side of the shop, there were baked goods displayed. I bought 3 cakes and 2 bags of baked goods. Since the weather seemed like it was going to rain, they provided a rain cover for the paper bag. Payment could be made with credit cards and several types of electronic money. - Tarte Citron: ¥691 A cake with lemon cream, lemon jam, and lemon liqueur sandwiched between two long thin biscuits with Italian meringue. It was the largest cake in the display case and was difficult to cut and eat, but it was delicious and visually appealing. Even my husband, who doesn't like fruits, enjoyed it. - L'Arm: ¥777 A cake with round pistachio mousse sandwiched between pistachio chocolate and filled with cherry jelly. The contrast in taste between eating it with the strong acidity of the cherry jelly and without it was enjoyable. - Passion: ¥648 A cake with passion cream in a vivid orange color and a pulpy texture, with pineapple chunks inside. It was a refreshing cake perfect for summer. - Diamant Chocolat: ¥756 A chocolate sablé made with high-quality cocoa. The cookies were quite large, and the chocolate was rich. It felt like a luxurious treat, especially compared to the Diamant Vanille next to it, which was priced at ¥810. - Cake Griotte Pistache: ¥345 A pistachio cake with cherry jam. It was moist and dense, with a strong sweetness and acidity from the cherry jam. It would go well with coffee or wine.

I arrived a little before the 12:00 opening time and was the third in line. The line continued to form gradually. The shop can accommodate up to two groups inside, and there are also neighboring shops, so customers are reminded to form the line on the street side rather than the building side to avoid causing inconvenience. Mr. Murata built a reputation in France and returned to Japan, working as a pastry chef at Joel Robuchon before starting his own business (from "Amakara Techou"). I had been curious for a while, and before I knew it, a popular shop with a long line had formed! The shop is managed by one person, who handles the customer service as well. Prices are excluding tax. The Lemon Tart (640 yen) has a rich lemon custard under the meringue, sandwiched between a delicious tart crust. Despite the size, the price is reasonable. The Vanilla Souffle (1600 yen) has a chewy crust and was said to be delicious. The Financier Tea and Financier Hojicha (each 280 yen) come with two small financiers each. There was a range in prices between baked goods and cakes, but this shop is one I look forward to revisiting.

This patisserie, which I discovered on Instagram, is known for selling out quickly, so it's best to visit in the morning or early afternoon to ensure you can make a purchase. On the day I visited around 1 pm, there was no line outside the store, but only two customers were inside. The store has a limit of two groups inside at a time, with only one group allowed if there are three or more people. There are strict rules for lining up, and failure to follow them may result in being denied entry. The atmosphere is cool and stylish, which may contribute to this strict impression. The owner and chef, Mr. Murata, has experience working in Michelin-starred restaurants in France and patisseries in Tokyo, with a notable position as the pastry chef at Joel Robuchon. He seems reserved but polite when spoken to, maintaining a certain distance. Some of the cakes were already sold out, but there were more available than expected. The petit gateaux in the display case were beautifully crafted, with colorful and unique designs. Many were coated in chocolate, which may be a personal preference. The "Simple" cake was a mix of raspberry and red currant fruit compote with white chocolate and vanilla cream, creating a contrast of flavors. The "Larme" cake featured pistachio mousse with griotte cherry compote, creating a harmonious blend. The "Mont-Blanc" had a light meringue base with chestnut cream and mousse, though the chestnut flavor was subtle. The "Creme Yuzu" had a smooth yuzu cream with yuzu sauce and chamomile jelly, offering a refreshing summer taste, though a stronger yuzu flavor would have been preferred.

I finally went to a cake shop I've been wanting to visit for a long time. I thought, it's getting hot now, so if I want to buy fresh cake, now is the time! I decided to go there and walked about 10 minutes from Jingu Marutamachi Station, but I decided to take a bus from Kyoto Station to combine it with other errands. The bus stop for the 206 line was extremely crowded due to the cherry blossom season. I had to see 2 buses pass by. Oh no... (T_T) I was just in time to arrive, so I couldn't wait in front of the store and had to wait on the road side. Maybe because of the COVID-19 situation, only one person was allowed to enter at a time. The owner opened and welcomed each person at the door and saw them off. The chic interior with calm lighting. Every cake looked artistic and beautiful. The showcase was shining. I had decided what I wanted to eat, but one of them was sold out. I ordered: - Mont Blanc 600 yen At first glance, Mont Blanc?! But the combination of white chocolate and chestnut mousse was excellent. The crispy meringue went well with it. It's not the type of Mont Blanc that emphasizes chestnuts, but it was delicious. - Larme 720 yen Pistachio cake. This was the cake I wanted to eat the most. The top part was pistachio mousse, and inside, there were well-cooked cherries. The taste was elegant. I thought it was a limited-time product, but they are planning to make it a regular item. - Creme Vanille 400 yen A soft and creamy pudding. It was so smooth. - Tous Chocolat Noir 570 yen Bitter chocolate mousse. It was a bit bitter as expected from the bitter taste. Since the chocolate tart I planned to buy was sold out, I chose this one. I want to try the chocolate tart next time. Thank you for the meal.

I haven't visited many cake shops, so I may not be in a position to say this, but this cake shop might be the best in Japan. The cakes I had this time were Mont Blanc, Rum Raisin Butter, Pistachio, and Choux Cream. They looked like jewels and tasted even better than they looked. Thank you very much.

The impact of the coronavirus may be affecting it as well. There was only one person lining up at the opening time. I remember that it used to sell out quite quickly when it first opened, but it doesn't seem to be as popular now. This time, I bought the following 5 items: 1) Mont Blanc 2) Apple Tart 3) Sample 4) Choux Pastry 5) Chocolate Tart. The desserts are still not overly sweet, which makes them easy to eat. However, items like the Mont Blanc and Apple Tart are difficult to eat neatly due to their nature. The Mont Blanc, with its white chocolate coating, meringue, and chestnut cream inside, is challenging to eat while trying to combine all the textures and flavors. The Apple Tart also presents a challenge with its coated fresh apple slices, tart base, and cream inside. Cutting the coated apple slices can be quite difficult. Items like the Sample and Chocolate Tart can be easily cut with a fork and enjoyed.

Opened on April 23, 2020! I really wanted to go to the patisserie "ingrédient kyoto Anglédian Kyoto" @ Jingu Marutamachi. Chef Murata, who has a solid skill at the young age of 32, learned desserts at the 2-star restaurant of the 5-star hotel "Château Saint Martins Spa" in France and served as a pastry chef at Robuchon in Tokyo. When you enter the shop, your excitement level goes up! The beautiful cakes look like jewels! Mont Blanc for 648 yen with meringue, chestnut cream, and crushed chestnuts, Chocolat Fruitage for 702 yen with bitter chocolate mousse and sweet and sour red fruit sauce, Tart Pomme for 734 yen with apple jam, cinnamon-flavored cream, and fresh apples, and Caramel Vanille for 680 yen with caramel cream, pear jelly, Tahitian vanilla brulee, pears, and biscuit dacquoise. The reconstruction of the Mont Blanc is amazing! Why does Mont Blanc only have that shape? Is that really the best? (I always feel the chestnut paste is heavy... and it lingers in my mouth.) I wondered why there were no challengers, but finally one has appeared...!! Inside, there is a bottom of meringue, extremely light chestnut cream, and diced chestnuts, the typical parts of a Mont Blanc. However, the overall composition is extremely light! And a new visual proposal that overturns the fixed concept of Mont Blanc, presenting a "white mountain." It's worth trying just because it's not your usual "Mont Blanc." And it's really delicious. Applause to the challenger! The Chocolat Fruitage and Caramel Vanille are also light, showcasing the chef's expertise in desserts. The Tart Pomme has a delicious tart base. It's also fun to combine it with cinnamon mousse. It was a restaurant worth visiting. I'm glad I went.

I heard rumors about it, but when I saw the display at the patisserie "Angladian Kyoto" in Seigoin, I knew I couldn't go wrong. The chef, who comes from a famous restaurant, delivered a Christmas cake that exceeded my expectations! It was truly a work of art! I will definitely be ordering it again next year.

Stylish and fashionable atmosphere in the shop. The interior is slightly dark with a calm ambiance. The showcase displayed beautiful cakes. I purchased a Mont Blanc cake on that day. It had meringue with chestnut cream and crushed chestnuts. I was drawn to its lovely shape and it tasted delicious with a rich sweetness. I also bought some caramel vanilla cake with caramel cream, pear jelly mousse, Tahitian vanilla brulee inside the caramel, and biscuit dacquoise. It had a refreshing taste with a hint of pear among the sweetness. I also bought some baked sweets on my way out, but I preferred the fresh cakes. The cake griotte pistachio cherry cake was delicious. It had pistachio cake with cherry jam. I wish I had bought more. I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal!

One of the most popular and thriving patisseries in Kyoto. Simple, beautiful, and irresistible sweets. The concept of wanting to eat the pastries again is to my liking, and the gateaux are also great. It seems like they have narrowed down the lineup of products a bit. The feeling of carrying the box or bag when buying the products, simple yet stylish, shows attention to detail. There are not many stores that have polished their entire customer journey like this. I also appreciate the fact that only one person is allowed in the store at a time. Now, onto the gateaux, the variety of options is limited, so they are always selling out. I tried the Caresse Chocolat and the Cake Marron from the baked goods. The former, as mentioned, has a lime aroma, and when you lift the lid (?), there is a lot of lime. The smooth Chantilly chocolate mousse and the crunchy praline texture work well with the lime. Although this store is already famous in Kyoto, it seems like it will attract more visitors in the future, starting with those who are less informed. Oh, maybe it's the other way around.

This is a patisserie near Kyoto University Hospital. The pastry chef used to work as the department chef patissier at "Joel Robuchon". The Caramel Vanille (¥680) looks very authentic from the visuals. It is a mousse cake with caramel cream and pear jelly in the top section, and mousse caramel with vanilla brulee and pear in the bottom section. The sweetness of caramel and vanilla is extremely refined. The cake has a smooth texture due to the mousse, but you can also taste the caramel's burnt sweetness and the juicy sweetness of the pear. It was incredibly delicious! I think this patisserie has top-level skills even in Kyoto. I definitely want to try other cakes as well. Thank you for the meal!

When I visited during snack time, there was only this cake in the showcase. Without thinking, I purchased these two items. I was captivated by the beauty of their appearance as usual. The taste is quite rich, so I think it would be preferred by those who enjoy rich flavors.

SAVVY featured a white Mont Blanc cake here. Mont Blanc means "white mountain" in French, but I have rarely seen a white Mont Blanc cake. As a Mont Blanc hunter, I feel the urge to visit this place. However, they do not have an eat-in option, which makes it challenging for me. Many places stop selling Mont Blanc cakes in the spring, but this place sells them year-round. I visited on a perfect Saturday afternoon around 12:30 when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. They had not sold out of the cake at that time. I asked them to reserve one for me and returned around 3:00 PM. By then, more than half of the cakes in the showcase were sold out, including the Mont Blanc. The remaining cakes were mostly chocolate-based. It seems like this place specializes in chocolate even though it's spring. This day, I was planning to visit multiple dessert places, so I bought only a few cakes. It took me about 15 minutes to walk to the next place, but these cakes are delicate and fragile, not suitable for carrying around. I wish there was a cafe nearby where I could enjoy them. The Mont Blanc cake cost 600 yen (tax included), and it had meringue with chestnut cream and crushed chestnuts inside, coated with white chocolate. It had a soft texture overall, without a significant contrast in texture. It was a delicate cake, but I couldn't find words to describe it. It was delicious but didn't leave a lasting impression for me to want to try it again. As a chestnut lover, I might prefer a regular Mont Blanc cake with a stronger chestnut flavor. The Amply cake cost 660 yen (tax included), with pistachio dough, cherry, and pistachio cream, coated with pistachio white chocolate. It had a moist texture overall. I liked this cake more than the Mont Blanc. Describing the deliciousness of these cakes is challenging. Cakes in Kyoto are generally pricey, including this one. However, they offer many mousse-based cakes that I enjoy. For me, it's more important if the cake suits my taste and if it brings a sense of excitement beyond its price. I have only tried two cakes here, so I hope to find a dessert that truly impresses me on my next visit.

Saturday 14:15 I wanted to get a Christmas cake from Angladean, but no one could go to buy it on the day due to access issues, so I gave up. Finally, the day after my daughter's birthday, I was able to go. I wondered if there was a shop like this in front of Kyoto University Hospital as I drove past the opposite lane, but eventually realized the black building was the one. I entered the shop successfully. A few types were sold out, but there were enough options left to choose from, which was a relief. Caramel Vanille x2 - 630 yen each Chocolat Fruity Rouge - 650 yen Cafe Muscat - 570 yen There seems to be a lot of chocolate-based cakes here. Lately, I've been avoiding chocolate-based ones because they feel heavy to me, so I've been choosing ones with fruit in them. I trusted my instincts and made my choice here. I had a tea time with my daughter at home. We had the cakes with tea. I wasn't worried about them melting since it's winter, but I was a bit panicked when I saw that the Caramel Vanille was starting to collapse a bit, as I had carried them under the seat of my bike. The mousse-based cakes are very delicate. The taste was the best I've ever had, without exaggeration. My daughter and I enjoyed it, saying it was really delicious. The texture is particularly special, and the carefully calculated deliciousness has made me a fan. While some high-rated places have higher prices, I appreciated the reasonable pricing here. I regret that some items were sold out as I went after lunch, but I will definitely come back. Thank you for the meal.

I had been curious for a while and finally visited this place for the first time. The cakes in the showcase were so beautiful that I wanted to try them all, but I settled for Mont Blanc, pudding, and cream puff. They were so delicious that I hesitated to write a review here, but couldn't resist. It's only a matter of time before this place becomes popular. Try them and be amazed by their beauty and taste.
