I saw a limited-time peach cake on SNS that looked delicious, so I visited the store at 12 o'clock in front of the station and the atelier at 2 o'clock. When I arrived early, there were already 2-3 groups in line. It cost 980 yen per piece. I bought two, but since it was still early in the season, the peaches weren't very sweet yet. I would like to go back when they are a bit sweeter.

First of all, as a note! This cake shop has two locations, and although the map shows the same location as the one in front of the station, it is actually a little bit further away from the station. The official location is near the store of "Tenkaippin." This cake, especially in this season, makes you want to eat it. The price of their peach tart has gone up quite a bit, but it is still a sweet treat that you would want to indulge in. It is popular and sometimes hard to get, but if you have the chance, I definitely recommend trying it. You cannot make a reservation for this cake, but the shop in front of the station and this one sell it with a time difference, so you should be able to buy some if you wait a little. The peaches around late July are said to be the sweetest. The peaches this time had a slight hint of tartness, but still delicious! The Shine Muscat cake was also delicious! This year's Muscat tart was incredibly tasty! It was a moment of happiness! This cake shop may not have a high rating on food review websites, but it is a well-known and popular local shop.

Near Koenji, there is a cute pastry shop that I've been curious about for a while, so today I finally stopped by. I was looking forward to trying their cream puffs. However, I was too late and they were already sold out around 3 pm. They advised me that I could make a reservation over the phone. I hesitated about buying a fresh cake, but since I was planning to walk for another 30 minutes, I decided to check out their baked goods. I chose a fruit cake with a hint of spices and a simple madeleine. They were perfect with tea...(^o^)/ Thank you for the meal. I hope to go back earlier next time.

To Pastry Chef Jun Honma. It's been a while. I used to often buy Mont Blanc, but today I got something different. I bought Pistachio Macaron and Crispy Cream Puff. The Crispy Cream Puff has a delicious bright yellow custard cream, but I think the burnt sugar sprinkled on top is a bit too sweet. The Macaron Pistachio is a luxurious treat with macaron, whipped cream, and strawberries sandwiched together. There were other cakes I wanted to try, but it seems like everything is around 700 yen now. Scary times.

I visited this place a little south of Koenji Station. The background music in the store is piano music. The bright and spacious interior caught my eye with colorful cakes. I got the "Aburebaniyu" vanilla sablé to go. It was rich in butter, thick, and satisfied my hunger.

The peach cake was finished last Friday! Unfortunately, I could only eat it once this year. So, I decided with the staff what cake to get for my mother. First, I bought a baked peach tart, a fruit tart, and a Mont Blanc. My mother chose the baked peach tart and enjoyed it. She really likes the tarts from this place. I also like them! My wife had the fruit tart and I had the Mont Blanc. The Mont Blanc was delicious. The crispy texture on the surface really enhances the flavor. It's the best. Overall, this shop is recommended. The cakes are delicious, the service is good, and the atmosphere of the shop is nice. Highly recommended!

A little way from the station, there is another branch of Junhonma located in front of the station. The items lined up here seem mostly the same, but this shop seems to have a bit more baked goods. I've been loving cream puffs lately, so whenever I go to a cake shop, I feel like having one. This time, I bought a cream puff. The choux pastry is sprinkled with burnt sugar, giving it a crunchy texture that is interesting! The cream inside is smooth and oozes out when you bite into it, so be careful if you're eating on the go. The size is not too small, with a satisfying bite, and the price is not too high, so it seems like a good choice for a souvenir. It was delicious, living up to its name as the king's crown!

First of all, inside the Mont Blanc, there is a super sour and astringent purple fruit that makes you wonder why it's there... I'm sure I'm not the only one. I only bought three of them, but the custard cream stuffed inside the choux cream is rich with plenty of butter and sugar, giving an overall rich taste. It gives the impression of a dense, sweet cake that doesn't seem like a Japanese cake. It reminds me of the sweetness of cakes I ate in Paris or Barcelona. This is Jun Honma's cake. Since we don't drink alcohol, we always prepare desserts after meals, whether they are Western or Japanese sweets, so I always look for such items. It's a part of daily life, so I buy things like Cozy Corner's choux cream or eclair, Yamazaki's whole banana, Takano's cakes, or Oiwake's dango depending on the day.

While taking a stroll in Koenji, my daughter has developed a fondness for cakes. Whenever she sees one at a street corner, she always insists on getting a whole shortcake. On this particular day, I managed to distract her and convinced her to settle for an orange tart instead. It turned out to be a great choice. The refreshing acidity and sweetness of the orange, along with the sweet and crispy tart crust, made it a delightful treat. It's a great place for everyday indulgence, even though the staff didn't seem too cheerful. I understand they must be dealing with a lot of stress in the current COVID environment. Thank you for your hard work.

After a long time, I went to Jun Honma. I thought it had closed because I hadn't been there for a while. I bought the King's cream puffs for everyone. The caramelized sugar on the surface and the crispy choux pastry give a nice texture. The filling is also substantial. The custard cream is thick and flows slowly, with a delicious vanilla bean aroma. The texture of the pastry may vary depending on personal preference, but it looks impressive and would likely surprise as a souvenir.

Less than a 10-minute walk from Koenji Minami-guchi, this is the branch of Junhonma in front of the south exit of the station. The shop is a bit smaller than the one in front of the station, but it has a bread baking area and has been offering freshly baked bread since January of this year. I bought the Gristmill special bread for 400 yen including tax. I can't say if it's tastier because it's from Gristmill, but the taste was decent. The shop also offers apple and cinnamon bread (500 yen including tax), cranberry and cream cheese bread (500 yen including tax), red bean bread (500 yen including tax), raisin bread (500 yen including tax), walnut bread (500 yen including tax), and the pastry chef's bread (350 yen including tax), among others. The variety was rich. I look forward to seeing what other types of bread they will offer in the future. Thank you for the meal.

I mistakenly arrived early for a meeting and passed the time at an eat-in space where I had delicious Mandarin mousse. The orange marble pattern was surprisingly faint, maybe made of candy? Inside, there were two layers of caramel and orange mousse. For a snack the next day, I tried the Koenji madeleines for the first time. They came in plain and chocolate flavors, with a simple taste. There was also a staff member who looked like MIYAVI.

While riding my bicycle to Trianon, I happened to come across a cake shop and decided to go in. The shop seems to have its main store in Kichijoji, with two other branches in Koenji. Today (or rather, as always), I was shopping for my wife, so I chose a red cake with berries and pistachios that I had missed buying at another shop before. I thought I was getting a multi-layered cake with berries and pistachios, but the part that looked light green turned out to be just the cake base, according to my wife, showcasing my usual incompetence. The cakes seem to be priced around 400 yen, which seems standard for this type of shop. The cakes had the shop's name tag on top and came in nice bags, giving off a strong brand image. (Kuma) I didn't go into the shop myself, but I received the cake that was bought. It had fine layers like a mille-feuille, vibrant and beautiful at first sight. Surprisingly, it was crispy and firm, not easily crumbling. The refreshing acidity of the raspberries was delicious. (Ingen)

Mont Blanc pear tart with a chestnut cream similar to Angelina's, but with berries inside making it light and refreshing. The Mont Blanc pear has a two-layer tart crust that is dense and delicious.

I often buy cream puffs and pudding as souvenirs, but I had never chosen Mont Blanc before. I was drawn to its shape and decided to try it. Now, I have one more option to choose from when buying cakes. Mont Blanc.

The peach tart was satisfying and very delicious! There were about 4 types of Mont Blanc, but I chose the one with meringue. The crispy crust topped with a perfectly balanced chestnut cream, whipped cream, and meringue was not too sweet or heavy. It was of a very high quality!
