The raw chocolate here is delicious, so I've always wanted to visit the store. I was delighted to learn that there is a shop in Omotesando during the Valentine's event. I went there right after the opening on Monday at 12:00, and it was empty. Mondays are particularly quiet, it seems. There are various stores inside, giving off a stylish food court vibe. I had the matcha parfait and green tea (1500 yen tax included), but unfortunately, they don't sell them separately. The green tea was a bit weak in flavor, both in sweetness and bitterness. The bitterness becomes more pronounced after eating the matcha parfait. As someone who isn't interested in drinks, it wasn't necessary for me. It's a bit disappointing that there wasn't much excitement in a tea shop. The matcha parfait was great, though!! The matcha cake inside was moist and rich. It's not as fluffy as castella, so it might not be suitable for putting in a parfait, but it looks delicious to eat with coffee. The ice cream, cookies, and agar were all tasty and satisfying. Also, instead of the usual cornflakes, they used crunchy granola, which was a nice touch. Honestly, it would be better if they sold just the parfait for 1200 yen... that's my honest opinion.

In my own imagination, Omotesando is filled with delicious dessert shops. On this day, I searched online for tasty sweets and found information that the shop I was looking for is located in Ura Omotesando Garden. Walking through the back alleys of Omotesando, I found Ura Omotesando Garden, a collection of restaurants in what looks like a residential area, with the shop I was looking for on the first floor. There were table seats in the middle of about 3-4 shops, where customers could buy food from any restaurant and eat at the table. I ordered a matcha Mont Blanc and a matcha latte, and waited for 10 minutes. When they arrived, the matcha Mont Blanc had a weaker matcha fragrance than I expected, tasting more like a regular Mont Blanc when I closed my eyes. The sweetness was not a complex sweetness, but rather a direct strong sugary sweetness. The matcha latte also lacked a strong matcha flavor. Disappointing. Considering the fact that only foreign customers were entering the shop one after another after us, I realized that this place must cater to inbound tourists. I wouldn't recommend the matcha Mont Blanc here for matcha lovers.

I visited around noon. It was crowded to the point of being full, but I managed to find a seat. I was looking forward to it because I love matcha, but the taste was mediocre. Even the matcha drink wasn't delicious. It seems that the hojicha and sencha set that my companion ordered was also not tasty. I was disappointed as I was looking forward to it.

I ordered matcha Mont Blanc and sweet potato Mont Blanc ice cream green tea. The matcha had a rich cream inside. The sweet potato had diced sweet potatoes inside, providing a enjoyable texture. I was very satisfied. The limited edition iced tea for 10 people had a very smooth sweetness, and I couldn't stop drinking it.

I recently visited the popular hidden Omotesando Garden that has been frequently featured in the media. I originally went there for the pancakes, but it seemed they were closed that day, so I decided to try something else. I ordered the Mont Blanc here, which is a trendy "mountain" style dessert. The main difference is the use of traditional "anko" (sweet red bean paste) instead of the usual cream. This makes it more suitable to enjoy with tea, but the tea served was a bit weak. I think a stronger tea would have been a better match for the "anko" Mont Blanc. Overall, the Mont Blanc was just okay. However, the chocolate I bought for takeout was really delicious. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality is good. The seating in the entire Omotesando Garden, including this shop, mainly consists of high chairs which doesn't encourage lingering. Also, it's a bit confusing to figure out which shops are open and how to place orders. Due to these reasons, I have to give a slightly lower rating. Sorry about that.

Uji-en Ura Omotesando Garden in Omotesando. This place is located in a residential area in Minami-Aoyama, with a large noren hanging in front of an old building as a landmark. The building is a renovated old house built in 1947, with a Japanese cafe on the first floor and a rental space for events on the second floor. There are five shops on the first floor, and Uji-en is one of them. I visited here to try their freshly squeezed Mont Blanc. I enjoyed it with a cup of tea. I had the Mont Blanc (chestnut) and also tried their Ice Green Tea (limited quantity). The first floor space has counter seats for each shop, but the seats between shops and the terrace seats are shared dining spaces. After securing a seat and deciding on the menu, you pay at each shop before ordering. Inside the counter, Mont Blanc is finished using a Japanese confectionery cream squeezer. With quick and skillful hands, it was completed in no time. The taste was light and airy, with the chestnut cream melting on the tongue. The cream inside added a richness to the flavor, making it a delicious Mont Blanc. The tea was a strong matcha with a robust taste, which was also delicious. They had Mont Blanc in matcha and hojicha flavors, so I would like to try those next time. I am interested in trying other shops as well, so I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the store just before closing. The matcha parfait had a perfect balance and I enjoyed various textures. The matcha flavor was rich and very delicious. There were a lot of people. The building had a traditional Japanese feel. Highly recommended for a date. Love matcha!

This is a food court cafe that renovated an old folk house in Ura Harajuku. There are various shops inside, so you can order from the restaurant you want to eat at and then take a seat. There are counter seats and table seats available. The interior has a natural tone with a casual atmosphere. I tried the "Smiling Mont Blanc" for 1320 yen with a drink. You can choose from matcha, hojicha, or chestnut flavors for the Mont Blanc. I chose the traditional chestnut flavor! The Mont Blanc has a fluffy sponge cake topped with fresh cream and freshly squeezed chestnut paste. The cream inside contains chestnuts, and chestnuts are also topped on the chestnut paste. The sponge cake is average, the cream is mildly sweet, and the chestnut paste is moist with a strong chestnut flavor. It's light, so you can easily finish it in no time. The place was not crowded on a weekday, so I was able to relax. The service was also good.

A cafe in Ura Harajuku that offers sweets and tea using Uji matcha. The recommended item is the Smiling Mont Blanc Matcha (with drink: 1320 yen). The Mont Blanc comes in three flavors: matcha, hojicha, and chestnut. The matcha flavor is highly recommended. The matcha cream is layered with matcha sponge, paste, diced chestnuts, and topped with red beans. The presentation is lovely, with the matcha cream being squeezed in front of you. However, the taste is... hmm... too sweet! It's just too sweet that you can hardly taste the matcha aroma. As for the Ice Green Tea drink, I chose the one made with 100% stone-ground Uji matcha. It's limited to 10 cups per day, with sencha and hojicha also available. This one also didn't quite hit the mark. It's like a "refreshing drink" with a hint of sweetness added to thin matcha and a lot of ice. I think matcha is supposed to have bitterness, so adding sweetness to make it more drinkable feels off. The excessive ice made it too cold, and honestly, the taste was not very discernible. It's easy to drink because it's thin and sweet, but it felt more like a "refreshing drink".

It is located in a somewhat hidden place. It's quite a walk from anywhere. When I went in the hot summer, it felt like an oasis. The atmosphere of the shop is like an old Japanese house, very calming. I'd like to go back for a stroll. All the menu items are carefully crafted and you can feel the Japanese essence.

I arrived at around 1 PM on a holiday, and the restaurant was almost full. I ordered a matcha Mont Blanc with cold hojicha, which cost around 1400 yen. It arrived in about 3 minutes, and it was covered in a generous amount of matcha chestnut strings, which looked artistic and appetizing. The string part was very sweet, but the matcha flavor was not very strong. The base below the strings was either sponge cake or castella, providing a nice texture. There were only two red beans on top, which was a nice touch. The cold hojicha tasted similar to regular barley tea. Overall, the dessert was delicious, but not necessarily worth the high price. The cafe was small and had a busy atmosphere, so I wouldn't highly recommend it to others.

Ujien Urasando Garden: Mont Blanc (chestnut) drink with a smile - Ice Green Tea (limited quantity) ¥1320. Second visit! The freshly squeezed Mont Blanc that was popular for a while. Last time, I had the matcha flavor, but this time I ordered the chestnut flavor. The texture is soft, and it feels like it melts in your mouth. Unlike Mont Blanc from a cake shop, the mild sweetness of Japanese chestnut is nice! The Ice Green Tea with matcha is highly recommended. It has a refreshing taste with the sweetness of matcha. It's interesting to drink it in a tumbler! I recommend sitting at the counter on the left side (you can see the squeezing process).

Visited for the first time with a friend for an eat-in during a regular afternoon. Located in a back alley in Omotesando. There was a standing sign, so we found it, but we almost got lost (laughs). It's a cafe in an old Japanese-style house. The 1st floor is a cafe with a food court style, with multiple shops inside. The 2nd floor is the restroom, which is spacious and cozy. We decided to have Mont Blanc for tea. *Smiling Mont Blanc (chestnut, sweet potato, pumpkin) @1320 yen with a drink. The Mont Blanc was squeezed out after ordering. You can choose from 3 types of tea. Mont Blanc is also available for takeout @630 + tax. In this shop, you can also get hot water for your own bottle for 100 yen. It's a convenient spot for a stroll. It's handy to be able to easily get sweets and tea for takeout.

I visited Ura Omotesando Garden after a long time. It's a food court with a Japanese theme, located in a renovated old house. The last time I visited was in 2017... time flies. The three stores, Kochira, Amaam Club, and Riz Labo Kitchen, remain unchanged. On this Saturday, my plan was to visit two dessert shops - one for Mont Blanc that my friend wanted to go to, and the other for cakes that I wanted to go to. However, the Mont Blanc shop my friend wanted to visit had a limited-time menu that had already ended. So, we went to the cake shop I wanted to visit first, and then headed to Ura Omotesando Garden. It was the only shop in the area that I hadn't visited before, and since it was a tea shop, I thought the desserts might be refreshing. We arrived around 2 pm and surprisingly found Mont Blanc available, including matcha, hojicha, and chestnut flavors. Oh, I just remembered that the shop my friend wanted to visit was also a tea shop. In hindsight, I should have ordered the tea-flavored Mont Blanc. But, I decided to go with the chestnut flavor first. The Mont Blanc came with a drink and cost 1,320 yen each. After placing our order, we were seated in a corner that seemed to have been occupied by another shop in the past. Coincidentally, it was the same spot where I sat during my previous visit to Ura Omotesando Garden. Shortly after, we were served warm hojicha tea, which had a lovely aroma and tasted deliciously nutty. It was very soothing. Then came the Mont Blanc, where the cream was freshly squeezed on top after ordering. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the process from our distant table. The freshly squeezed cream felt fresh, but the taste was nothing extraordinary, just simply delicious. The highlight, however, was the hojicha tea, which tasted exceptionally good. My friend had the vibrant green matcha Mont Blanc. I couldn't help but think I should have ordered that too. Next time, I'll definitely try the tea-flavored Mont Blanc.

In a cafe located in a complex facility where several restaurants gather in an old-fashioned house, the interior has a food court-like atmosphere, making it somewhat narrow and bustling. ◆What I had Mont Blanc with a smile (drink included 1320 yen) There were three types available: matcha, hojicha, and chestnut! For a limited time, there were also sweet potato and pumpkin flavors. I originally wanted Ice Green Tea for the drink, but it was sold out by the evening due to limited quantity (sad face). The Mont Blanc consists of red beans, chestnut & matcha paste, chopped chestnuts, matcha cream, and matcha sponge cake from the top, allowing you to fully enjoy the sweetness of chestnuts and the richness of matcha!! The matcha is moderately sweetened, so it's not too bitter or too sweet, making it a very delicious and elegant Mont Blanc!! Thank you for the meal ★

A café in a residential area a few minutes' walk from the back of Omotesando Hills, housed in a traditional Japanese house. Inside, there were two shops, one selling rice cakes and the other specializing in Mont Blanc desserts. They make freshly made Mont Blanc at a small counter. I was intrigued by the limited-time pumpkin Mont Blanc, but first I ordered my favorite matcha. It cost 1320 yen with a sencha drink included. It was a food court-style interior, so I waited for a free seat for about 10 minutes. A visually appealing, satisfying-sized matcha Mont Blanc arrived! The cream was fluffy, not too sweet, and easy to eat. Inside, there were sponge cake, matcha whipped cream, and chestnuts, all of which were delicious. It was a very elegant Mont Blanc. I want to go back again!

When I went to the Mont Blanc store that was featured on the Show channel, it was unexpectedly closed for a regular holiday! It was only mentioned online that they are closed on Mondays. I couldn't go back empty-handed after coming all the way to Omotesando! I quickly searched for another store and found a nice one with a quaint atmosphere. Inside a building designed like an old folk house, there were three dessert shops. The Mont Blanc shower in front of me looked amazing. I had a hojicha (roasted green tea) Mont Blanc, and my husband had a chestnut Mont Blanc. The thin Mont Blanc shower, like capellini pasta, had a fine texture and smooth mouthfeel. The hojicha flavor was fragrant and delicious.

Simply put, this shop is known for making Mont Blanc desserts with matcha or roasted green tea, which not only look great for social media but also taste amazing. I once got turned away because they were sold out before 2:00 pm on a weekend, so this time I arrived right at the 12:30 opening time despite the heavy rain. There was already a line of two groups waiting. After over an hour of waiting in the rain, I finally managed to place an order and get a seat inside the shop. The Mont Blanc desserts were served in a unique style with matcha and chestnut flavors. The roasted green tea flavor was particularly delicious. If you love Mont Blanc and sweet treats, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended to go early to avoid long waits.

I visited this hidden Mont Blanc shop at Omotesando Garden. As a Mont Blanc lover, it was one of the shops I wanted to visit! Just between us, I love Mont Blanc so much that I named my dog Mont Blanc! Watching the Mont Blanc cream being squeezed out vigorously in front of me, overflowing the plate, made me drool a lot. Actually, there are other stores in Omotesando Garden, and I have tried a different one before! I have posted a review of that store on another food review site, so please check it out as well!
