I finally managed to purchase it after seeing it on Instagram. - Time of visit: Sunday before 1:30 PM - Items purchased: Lemon and yogurt verrine for 518 yen This was the last one of this product. It seems like there are many repeat customers. The jelly is sour and refreshing, making it delicious even when you don't have an appetite. Thank you for the meal!

It seems like a cake that is free of additives and good for the body. Surprisingly, it was just like a regular cake and enjoyable. It has a nice level of sweetness and a moist texture, which I personally like. It's great to know that it's good for the body! They have a wide variety of options and the small size is easy to eat. I would love to buy a cake again when I visit Asakusabashi.

A cake shop that is kind to the body☆ I arrived around 12 o'clock! I took out marble cheesecake, chocolate cake, and meringue chantilly. The marble cheesecake looks marbled, but the taste is not so special. The meringue chantilly is okay, but not great. The chocolate cake is just average. Hmm, I don't think I'll come back again.

On this day, I planned to visit Asakusabashi. After enjoying the seasonal Three-Mile Oyster Butter Sauté at the famous Western restaurant Gracia, I had planned to visit Sol's Coffee Roastery near the intersection of Kura-mae Ichome. While checking the route from Gracia to Sol's Coffee Roastery on the map, I happened to come across this shop. It is a branch of "Maruz Cake" located in Moto Asakusa Ichome, and it seems they have recently opened a branch in Kinshicho as well. The owner of the company Maru's, which operates these shops, is the pastry chef Kayoko Miyata, who trained for 12 years in France, Tokyo, and Saitama. She focuses on providing food that is kind to the body, stating that she wants to offer "something that can be eaten with peace of mind and passed on to the next generation." She is particular about using additive-free main ingredients such as eggs, milk, sugar, and flour. She personally visits production farms to select ingredients, raising pure domestic chickens from chicks to feed with care, and sourcing reliable materials such as organic sugar and organic flour to make cakes and baked sweets. In addition to this shop, I also became interested in PASTA & BAR DARK-HORSE located on the same route, so I made a mental note to have lunch there and visit another day. However, as I unexpectedly spent more than planned on lunch at Gracia, I found myself short of cash to visit both Sol's Coffee Roastery and the other shop. After some hesitation, I decided to give up on going to Sol's Coffee Roastery that day and instead buy some baked goods from this shop to take home. I bought the following items from this shop. When I arrived at the shop shortly before noon, there was one female customer inside. Although there was no sign limiting the number of customers, the space in front of the showcase seemed very narrow, so I waited outside until the previous customer left and then entered the shop. There was one middle-aged female staff member on the other side of the showcase, and she was very calm and polite. - Firm Pudding 345 yen (tax included): A pudding made with milk, eggs, organic sugar, and cream. Contrary to the impression given by its name, it doesn't feel "firm" at all. Perhaps it is called "firm" in comparison to another pudding sold at this shop (Jersey Milk Pudding). The taste is quite ordinary, and the portion is small for the price. As someone who has tried various puddings, I honestly found this pudding to be unsatisfactory. However, it may be an attractive product for those who prioritize food safety. - Paw Madeleine 226 yen each (tax included): Madeleines shaped like a dog's paw. I bought three flavors out of the five available: black tea, matcha, and caramel. They are made with eggs from Oomatsu Farm, organic sugar, organic cake flour, butter, honey, cream, baking powder, salt. These were not only made with body-friendly ingredients but also tasted quite delicious. The cute shape makes them seem like baked goods that children would enjoy.

I used a cake shop located between Asakusabashi and Kuramae. They offer body-friendly additive-free cakes. I think there is definitely a high demand for such good products. My impression after eating the cake was, "It's not bad, but not that delicious either." This is just my personal opinion, but when I eat cake, I tend to look for a certain level of unhealthiness. I don't eat cake every day, so I want to enjoy that moment. The cakes at this shop are not too sweet and additive-free, so I felt that the taste was somewhat lacking. Also, especially in Western sweets, the aroma plays a big role in creating the flavor, and in that aspect, it is clearly lacking. However, there are people who dislike cakes that are just sweet or those who dislike additives, and for such people, this shop is definitely recommended.

Located less than 5 minutes walk from Asakusabashi Station, this small patisserie is tucked away from Edo Street. Their simple strawberry shortcake showcases their commitment to using additive-free ingredients, with a refined sweetness and a good milky flavor. The lack of heaviness in the whipped cream is a nice touch. The caramel choux custard cream is topped with caramel cream, giving it a distinctive caramel aroma. The fruit tart is beautifully decorated with two types of grapes, strawberries, oranges, and blueberries on a crispy tart crust that complements the sweetness of the fruits. The firm custard pudding may look soft, but it has a solid texture and a simple, yet delicious, flavor with a good egg taste. These sweets, made with organic sugar, organic flour, and locally sourced eggs, showcase the quality of their ingredients. Thank you for the meal.

This is a cake shop located in a back alley off Kuraqma Hashido Street. It is a branch of Marz in Asakusa. They only sell cakes, no seating available. ★Visited at: Weekdays after 5:30 pm, no other customers. They still had a good variety of cakes left. ★What I bought this time: Meringue Chantilly for 464 yen, and Chocolate Cake for 464 yen. Meringue Chantilly is my favorite. It has a crispy meringue with whipped cream and caramel cream inside. The meringue is light and the cream is not too heavy, making it easy to eat. I might buy a whole cake next time. Thank you for the meal~

I had plans to buy a gift for a friend, so I stopped by to buy some baked goods. I didn't bring a box with me because I decided to go last minute, so I asked for advice on how to wrap the items, and they were very kind and helpful. I ordered some madeleines with cute cat paw prints on them while I was looking around. I noticed the pastry chef cracking eggs, showing that they use fresh eggs to make their pastries. I was curious about the tiramisu, so I bought some. It had a very gentle and fluffy taste.

I finally visited the second store of "Maruz Cake" that opened. They make sweets using organic sugar and flour, ensuring safety and peace of mind. ● Strawberry Shortcake ¥420 (¥453) Fluffy sponge cake with gentle sweet cream, sliced strawberries, and topped with cut strawberries and blueberries. ● Pumpkin Cheesecake ¥420 (¥453) Moist bottom with rich pumpkin cheesecake, topped with whipped cream and pumpkin seeds. ● Chestnut Tart ¥420 (¥453) Tart filled with chestnut cream, almond cream, candied chestnuts, and streusel on top. ● Praline Chocolat ¥430 (¥464) Dense dough with praline, feuilletine, ganache, and chocolate cream. ● Financier ¥200 (¥216) Slightly crispy with fine texture and great mouthfeel. ● Sablé Viennois ¥380 (¥410) Fine, crispy texture that melts in your mouth. Simple and delicious. ● Paw Madeleine Plain ¥200 (¥216) Madeleine with dense, eggy flavor. All the treats were delicious, but I especially enjoyed the baked goods. The Sablé Viennois was a standout and I would love to have it again. The staff were friendly and their love for sweets was evident.

The sweets shop pays attention to the ingredients. They also offer low-sugar sweets. This time, I felt like having cake so I visited. The melon shortcake had sweet melon and the whipped cream was not too sweet, making it very delicious. The staff at the shop were polite and kind.

After leaving the tobacco shop, I was curious and decided to peek into Maru's cafe, a store on the ground floor of a hotel along the Saeimon Bridge street. I was interested in their baked goods, but due to time constraints, I quickly purchased a cream puff. I really liked the choux pastry here, and the cream was rich and delicious. The cream puff costs ¥250 excluding tax, and credit card payment is possible. (May 14, 2021)

I bought some cakes for takeout from the newly opened patisserie Maruz and found out that it is a sister store of the cafe Marz Cake. I purchased a cream puff (250 yen excluding tax), a chocolate cake (400 yen excluding tax), and a fruit tart (460 yen excluding tax). While carrying them, they got a bit messy, but the cream puff had delicious pastry and light, sweet cream. The chocolate cake had a moist sponge and was just okay. The fruit tart had a normal tart crust. I found the cakes at Marz Cake to be tastier, but I wonder why that is?

My family wanted to celebrate my birthday, but we didn't have a cake. We had to quickly find a cake shop, but it was already past 6 pm. The nearby shop had mixed reviews, and the one in Kuramae was sold out. We couldn't think of any cake shops in Asakusabashi, but then we found this shop. When we called, they said they would keep it open until we arrived, which was great. My niece, son, and I went there. It didn't look like a typical cake shop, so we almost missed it while riding our bikes, but we made it. We bought chocolate cake, tiramisu, shortcake, pistachio eclair, and fruit tart. They all looked and tasted great, and the prices were reasonable. We found a rare gem of a cake shop in Asakusabashi. They also have baked goods, so I'll try them next time I visit.

After lunch, I was walking towards my workplace when I remembered that a new patisserie called "Patisserie maru's" had opened where the "Panda Shop" used to be. Since baked goods last longer, I decided to go in and take a look. Last time I passed by, there were elderly women and grandmas buying from the shop, but today I was the only one there, so I could take my time choosing. The paw-shaped madeleines were so cute. They had various flavors like plain, black tea, and chocolate. I decided to try the plain and caramel ones for now. First, I tried the Breton galette, which had a crispy texture and wasn't greasy at all, more like a shortbread than a galette. I prefer La Vieille France's galette, but this one was also delicious. Then, the cream puff had a creamy milk filling with a light crispy pastry, and the cream stood out with its strong presence. I quite liked the texture of the choux pastry. The madeleine was soft and fluffy. The best one was the "low-sugar spiced cheese cookie". It wasn't too sweet, had a hint of pepper, and a cheesy flavor, making it a great snack. This would go well with alcohol. I might bring it as a gift for my friend who loves alcohol.

I happened to be in the area a little after 9:30, so I just confirmed the location of the shop and will visit again at the opening time of 10 o'clock. I appreciate being invited into the shop early. I picked out a few cakes and baked goods from the showcase. Later, at my workplace, I enjoyed a Mont Blanc cake. It was not too sweet and even the sponge cake was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

It seems like a new pumpkin cake shop has opened recently, and even though it's the end of the year, there was a line. It's in a quiet location, so it must already have regular customers. All the cakes look delicious, but I tried the pumpkin cake. It paired well with red wine, as it is a sweet cake. I'll have to visit the shop myself next time.

This is the second store of Maruzu Cake. Their Mont Blanc is a classic and reliable choice, with a chestnut cream that has a hint of chestnut in the sweetness. The Strawberry Shortcake is a recommended item, with sweet strawberries and a slightly heavier fresh cream, which may appeal to those who prefer a richer taste. The Chocolate Cake has a chocolate cream that is smooth and not too heavy, almost like a mousse but with a distinct chocolate flavor. It's quite unique and original. It's nice to have a new opening within a reachable distance.

The second time was for takeout. The classic shortcake is small with strawberries and blueberries on top. The whipped cream is light and easy to eat. Right after opening, I got a soft pudding instead of a firm one. It was smooth and creamy, but I'll try the firm pudding next time.

Pistachio Shortcake (518 yen): Pistachio cream with a sweet and sour raspberry flavor. Seasonal fruit tart (518 yen): Various fruits. Caramel Banana (453 yen): I would prefer a bit more caramel flavor.

The cakes made with organic sugar and organic flour were very delicious and good for the body. I recommend the Mont Blanc and cream puffs. The financiers are also delicious, so I recommend them to those who want to buy baked goods.
