『Holiday Food Log 100 Famous Restaurants Tour in Tokyo, Kyobashi, and Yurakucho』【No.3】After having lunch, I bought a "corner bread loaf" from the 100 famous bread shops in Yurakucho! Then, I headed towards the Marunouchi area! First, I visited "La Maison du Chocolat Marunouchi Store" in the "Sweets 100 Famous Shops" located at the border between Yurakucho and Marunouchi.【Nearest Station/Location】◇ It is within a 5-minute walk from Yurakucho Station. As you walk from Yurakucho towards the Marunouchi side of Tokyo Station, you will find it. The area has many pedestrian zones and spacious terrace cafes, giving it a European town-like atmosphere!【Visit Time/Day】◇ I visited on a Tuesday around 1:00 PM. There were two groups of customers before me, but I was able to be seated right away.【Seating】◇ The interior of the store is spacious, with countless chocolates and macarons displayed artistically in the showcase. In one corner, there are only 6 counter seats, creating an "Eat-in Cafe Space" which is elegant and stylish!※ Unfortunately, the cafe space is available until October 31, 2023. It seems to be a limited-time event.【Order Items】◇ The item I was aiming for this time was the "Chocolate Ice Cream" and "Corne Maison (715 yen including tax)!" This product is only available until September 30.【Ice Cream Review】◇ Of course, there were many tempting chocolates and macarons, but on that hot day with a temperature exceeding 33 degrees, the ice cream I had was exceptional!◇ The level of chocolate flavor is amazing! The rich chocolate taste feels like having melted normal chocolate in your mouth. However, being ice cream, it is cold and smooth with no icy texture. I have never tasted chocolate ice cream like this before!【Special Note】◇ Limited-time products are always available. What will be available in the upcoming season, maybe chestnut flavors?◇ The eat-in space is available until October 30. Why not enjoy a luxurious tea time there? If you happen to read this and can visit before the end of September, I highly recommend trying the "Chocolate Ice Cream" before it's gone!◇ The store exudes a sense of luxury with its glass showcase and calm customer service. It was truly a wonderful shop!

I visited around noon and was told that the most popular chocolate cake was sold out, which was disappointing. However, I ordered a chocolate cake with raspberry sauce, éclair, and 4 macarons. I chose chocolate and Mont Blanc flavors for the éclair. The cake had a nice balance of berry flavor and chocolate, not too sweet or heavy, just the right richness. The éclair was also delicious with its rich cream filling. Although the prices are on the higher side for a bakery, the high quality of the desserts and excellent hospitality make it worth it. I will definitely be coming back, maybe next time I'll go a bit earlier.

I visited the popular chocolate specialty store La Maison du Chocolat Marunouchi store in Tokyo's Marunouchi district. They offer seating at the counter, and on this day, I tried the Mini Parfait Soft Exotic! The rich chocolate ice cream was delicious. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

On September 2, 2023, at 1:15 PM, I visited La Maison du Chocolat Marunouchi store, located about a 5-minute walk from Yurakucho Station. Here is my review of my visit today: - Arrival and Waiting Time: Arrival Time: September 2, 2023, 1:15 PM Entry Time: September 2, 2023, 1:15 PM Waiting Time: None Queue Status: None (2 empty seats available) - Ordered Items: Mini Parfait Soft Exotic - 1210 yen This parfait allows you to choose one macaron of your choice! I succumbed to the term "limited edition" but forgot what I chose haha. The parfait itself featured a rich and intense chocolate soft serve with a mango flavor, creating a delicious combination of rich chocolate and tangy mango. The size was small, making it perfect for dessert hopping!

I went to Sweets Hyakumeiten 2023 on a Saturday afternoon around 1 pm. There was only one group of customers in the cafe space. There were plenty of cakes available. (When I went around 5:30 pm, most of the cakes were sold out.) I had a mini parfait (1210 yen) in the cafe space, which was a limited-time offering. It was very rich in chocolate flavor. I could choose the macaron on top. I also bought a cake to take home, which was also very rich in chocolate flavor. It was more like chocolate than a cake. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Saturday/around 2:30 PM No waiting time Ordered Corné Maison for 700 yen Blended coffee for 880 yen Access: 3 minutes from Yurakucho Station, 3 minutes from Hibiya Station Interior: 6 counter seats Customer base: pairs Payment: QUICPay Note: Café is limited until summer (10/31), among them, Corné Maison can be ordered until 9/30. You can choose the cup and cone. It has a rich cocoa flavor, luxurious taste, and is very delicious. It is a high-quality gelato with a strong stickiness, not heavy, and can be eaten easily.

Founded in Paris by the renowned "Magician of Ganache," Robert Linxe, this chocolate specialty shop has been loved by many celebrities since its establishment in 1977. The first store in Japan opened in 1998. The brand is known for its sophisticated and refined ganache, which has an elegant texture and flavor. On this day, I was invited to a meal by a senior colleague with whom I have had a long and important relationship. As usual, I arrived early and decided to bring some stylish pastries as a gift. Looking at the photos, the Bonbon Chocolat is a standout product. These bite-sized chocolates come in various flavors such as sake, whiskey, cognac, fruits, and nuts, with a delicious ganache filling. Next, there are the tablet chocolates, which are priced between 1500 to 2600 yen per piece, making them a luxurious treat. The shop also offers a variety of desserts like eclairs, entremets, madeleines, financiers, cookies, and the 12-piece ganache macarons which I purchased. These macarons, filled with smooth and glossy ganache, are elegantly presented in a luxurious box. I chose to gift them to my senior colleague as a token of appreciation for the invitation. The smooth and shiny macaron shells, paired with the creamy ganache, exude an air of sophistication. I also took home a 4-piece set of macarons for personal enjoyment. The rich ganache filling in flavors like Abyssinian (dark ganache with mascarpone and coffee), Figaro (dark ganache with hazelnut), Venezuela (plain dark ganache with cocoa beans), and Kumquat & Kumquat (dark ganache with kumquat and kumquat puree) is truly unique. The female staff, resembling jewelry store attendants, provided elegant and attentive service. Their demeanor was graceful and composed, and they served coffee with finesse. With only 6 counter seats, the luxurious atmosphere of the shop allowed for a comfortable experience. This particular location is in the Shin-Kokusai Building 1st floor, with a total of 10 stores across Tokyo (7), Yokohama (1), and Osaka (2).

Due to the heat, the season where fatigue accumulates one way or another... As a reward for working hard, I feel like eating this parfait. At 6 o'clock in the evening, there was one customer at the small counter. I ordered a parfait set of two flavors, chocolate and caramel, which is a fantastic combination. Even the whipped cream on top was amazingly delicious! As expected from a chocolatier, both the chocolate and caramel were overwhelmingly tasty. I have heard from French acquaintances that Maison du Chocolat is the best in Paris, so the quality is top-notch. The rich atmosphere of the marble counter adds to the experience. The staff's service is also pleasant. As a spot for treating yourself when dining alone, this place is perfect in my opinion. Please note that the eat-in service may vary depending on the season. Thank you for the meal.

I often visit this restaurant for takeout, but today I had some time so I decided to dine in. I ordered a chocolate item that I don't usually get, and it paired perfectly with the delicious coffee. It was a very luxurious time. I would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

I love chocolate the most, but Financiers are also amazing. They are fluffy when bitten into. Even though they have been baked and left for a while, I wonder how they still taste so delicious. It's really mysterious. After all, a good restaurant never gets boring no matter how many times you visit.

On this day, before the musical at the Teikoku Theater at 6:00 pm, I was wondering what to eat. It was a little too early for dinner at around 4:30 pm, and eating too much would be risky (sleepiness, bathroom breaks), but being hungry was not good either. So, I decided to have a chocolate soft serve ice cream nearby! I also ordered an eclair and coffee. The coffee came with a piece of chocolate. The official names are: Chocolate Soft Serve Ice Cream -> Cornet Maison, Eclair -> Eclair Chocolat. The color of the Cornet Maison was dark and rich, and the taste was deep and rich but not heavy, and it was very delicious. I was impressed by the Cornet Maison, and the Eclair Chocolat seemed a bit overshadowed, but it was also delicious. However, when considering value for money, I wonder if it can beat FamilyMart's "Rich Chocolate Eclair"...

Visited around 12:30 on Saturday. The chocolates were indeed pricey. I had been shopping for various things that day, so I had to give up on buying them. Since I was already there, I decided to order the soft serve ice cream. I was able to sit in and enjoy it at the counter in the back. It was nice to be served cold water. I chose the cup over the cone for the Cornet Maison (715 yen). The soft serve arrived quickly. It had the richest chocolate flavor I have ever seen! The cream was smooth. It was definitely worth trying. I finished it in no time. Thank you for the meal.

It was extremely hot, so I decided to eat something cold before watching a play at the Teikoku Theater. I had been avoiding the chocolate soft serve because it tends to linger in my mouth, but as soon as I tried it, the rich chocolate flavor spread in my mouth and didn't linger at all. It was very delicious! There were many other menu options, so I would like to try them next time.

This is a shop that I really love. The chocolate is very rich, and the chocolate on top also has a nice crunch and is very delicious. The customer service was also very polite and satisfying. I heard that they have started offering eat-in service again, so I will visit next time to relax. Thank you for the meal!

The cafe inside the shop was open, so I stopped by on my way back from an outing. I was a little worried if it would be crowded or still open, but it was fine. They had a limited edition parfait available. The cafe will be open until the end of October. So I decided to try the limited edition parfait. It was a small size, with rich chocolate soft serve and a nice balance of crunchy texture. The fruit added a hint of acidity, making it very satisfying. You can choose your favorite macaron to go on top. I was tempted by the limited edition "kinkan" flavor, but I chose my favorite (just wanted to eat it normally. Haha. It's safe^_^) flavor. It was a very satisfying and cost-effective dish. The atmosphere inside the shop was calm and nice. I visited around 7 pm on a weekday, and there was only one other customer in the shop. Of course, the takeaway items were also very attractive and I couldn't decide which one to choose. This is a sweets shop that I definitely want to visit again!

I visited around 3:00 PM on a regular day. There was no wait time. The female staff member was kind and provided pleasant service. The rich chocolate cake I had was so delicious, unlike anything I've had before. Thank you for the meal. I thought about buying some souvenirs next time.

I visited around 3 pm on a regular day. There was no waiting time and I was seated right away. A kind girl working at the restaurant noticed me looking at the sign outside and called out to me. They offer both eat-in and takeout options. The chocolate ice cream I had might have been the best ice cream I've ever tasted. I enjoyed it at the elegant counter. Thank you for the meal.

I ordered a raspberry chocolate cake called Antulme Salva and an iced coffee. When you order the iced coffee, it comes with a coconut-flavored chocolate. The moment I tried the coconut-flavored chocolate, it was delicious. I then tried the cake, which was also delicious with the chocolate and raspberry flavors blending well together. I definitely want to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

Located just a stone's throw away from the Imperial Palace and a 3-minute walk from Yurakucho Station, on the first floor of the Shin-Kokusai Building, is the La Maison du Chocolat Marunouchi store. With a calm and chic atmosphere, the store features a counter-style salon at the back. I was able to find a seat and tried the seasonal limited edition Mini Parfait Soft Exotic for 1,210 yen. The rich chocolate soft serve was topped with granola, and I chose the exotic macaron for the adult parfait. The seasonal macaron flavor I chose was Kumquat Calamansi. The juicy fruit sauce and dried mango added a refreshing summer flavor to the mini parfait, which was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

On Sunday morning around 11 o'clock, I was wandering around Marunouchi Nakadori when I noticed a shop opening up, so I decided to go in for the first time. The inside of the shop was very stylish. I chose the Cornes Maison soft serve ice cream that I had been curious about from the outside sign. It cost 702 yen. While waiting, they also gave me a fancy-looking chocolate to try, which was delicious. When I went outside and ate the soft serve ice cream, it was incredibly rich and flavorful! It was so good! Marunouchi is really classy and the level is high! I was very satisfied and enjoyed my meal. It was delicious - I will definitely go back again.
