It's always crowded on holidays at Seijo Ishii, a popular leisure spot. I bought a decaffeinated coffee in a paper pack, not an original Seijo Ishii product. It's refreshing and the taste of milk stands out in this delicious café au lait.

American cookie assortment for 647 yen. Purchased as a coffee accompaniment. The basic taste of the cookies is the same, but you can enjoy four different flavors: plain, chocolate, macadamia, and chocolate & walnut. They are a bit hard and sweet. They are delicious, but one cookie is enough.

Hello, I'm a reviewer in the "Other" category, Mugei Kogushi! Recently, I haven't been writing many reviews about bars, but don't worry, I'm still drinking! I went to Seijo Ishii in the LaQua area of Tokyo Dome City. This Seijo Ishii is more spacious and crowded than the ones in Ochanomizu and Akihabara. I bought some snacks for home drinking and wine. - Prosciutto Crudo Slice 10 Months Aging: ¥1,390 + tax This is Seijo Ishii's original prosciutto. It is made at a local factory at the foot of the Apennine Mountains in Parma, Italy. They use Sicilian sea salt with a natural sweetness and saltiness, and the pork's sweetness is maximized through double salting. It is sliced to 0.7mm in Japan. I had it on a baguette. - Jamon Serrano 14 Months Aging: ¥1,399 + tax This is a Spanish ham compared to Italian prosciutto. While prosciutto is salted with the skin left on, Jamon Serrano removes part of the skin before salting. This enhances the taste and richness of the meat. - Jensen Foie Gras (Duck) Pate This is delicious and rich. Foie gras is one of the world's three major delicacies, so it goes well with both red and white wine. - Olive & Semi-Dried Cherry Tomato Marinade: ¥499 + tax Slices of green and black olives with semi-dried tomatoes. Perfect as a wine snack. The flavor is intense, so it can also be enjoyed in a salad. Wine: - Chateau Citran 2014: ¥2,990 + tax A Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend with a pleasant aroma and a smooth, flavorful taste with a long finish. - Chateau Florie Aude 2016: ¥1,590 + tax A Bordeaux blend of Merlot (85%), Cabernet Sauvignon (10%), and Cabernet Franc (5%). Medium-bodied with a balanced and easy-to-drink feel. - Fattoria Di Mariano Eva Bianco: ¥1,990 + tax An Italian Tuscan white wine. Refreshing and dry with a clear taste.

I was intrigued by the "Mascarpone Mochi Italian Pudding" at Seijo Ishii, so I bought it while passing by. The name is long, isn't it? The pudding is rectangular and feels heavy when you lift the pack, almost like yokan (laughs). It's surprisingly heavy for a pudding. I was excited because I was sure it would be rich and delicious. It cost 1177 yen including tax. We enjoyed it at home by cutting it. Yes, this pudding is so firm that you can cut it with a knife. You can eat it with a fork. Just as the name suggests, it is mochi-like and rich! The mascarpone adds a rich flavor but doesn't overpower, it's still a pudding. This is truly delicious. As expected from Seijo Ishii. It's so rich that you don't need to eat a lot to be satisfied. It lasts for about 3 days, so you can cut it and enjoy it little by little. It might be nice to indulge and eat it all at once. Thank you for the meal.

I had been curious about the renewed soft serve ice cream at Seijo Ishii for a while, and I finally got to try it. The price is just under 300 yen, which is reasonable. There are three flavors of soft serve available, one seasonal and two year-round. I chose a mix of the seasonal kinako and the classic milk flavors in a cup. The soft serve that came out was very small. I thought to myself, "That's it?!" The soft serve was delicious though. It seems like a good deal based on the price, but with that small portion, the value isn't great. However, because it was tasty, I think I'll try the parfait next time.

After finishing my business in Korakuen, I decided to buy some sweets and visited the La Qua store at Tokyo Dome, which reopened on October 9, 2019. Here is what I bought: - Basque cheesecake for 431 yen. It had a moderate sweetness and a rich cheese flavor, although not too intense. It was delicious. - Chestnut Mont Blanc pudding for 323 yen. It tasted different from the Mont Blanc you would find in department stores, but for this price, being able to enjoy the flavor of chestnut was good. The pudding underneath the Mont Blanc was especially tasty. It may not be as fancy as expensive puddings, but I found it delicious. If I were to buy it again, I would go for this pudding and enjoy it.

I stopped by this store with a relatively rich lineup of alcohol-enhanced products. I was curious about Banuyls, which I often see in various liquor stores, so I decided to try it out. What I bought: M. Chapoutier Banuyls Rimage 2016 ¥2890 The concentrated fruit flavor was unbelievably delicious. It paired perfectly with my favorite cheese. It was my first time trying Banuyls, but it made me want to explore various options. Thank you for the meal ☆

Tokyo Dome City is very convenient for buying drinks and snacks when watching baseball games. They have a good selection at reasonable prices, including different types of beer. I particularly enjoyed the scallop fry I bought last time, it was delicious and paired perfectly with beer thanks to the tasty tartar sauce.

You can enjoy a parfait from the high-end supermarket Seijo Ishii for only 499 yen♫ I went to check out the newly renovated store and found a food stand next to the supermarket where you can enjoy parfaits, drinks, and hamburgers. I tried the parfait made with plenty of high-end fruits. It had two types of grapes, oranges, and pineapples, topped with dried strawberries on homemade soft serve ice cream. The fruits were juicy and sweet♫ You can also enjoy the terrace seats on a nice sunny day, which feels great! ^_^

I'm really into extremely sweet dessert wines right now. When I casually stopped by this liquor store, I found a German wine that caught my eye and decided to buy it. I came back again later because I enjoyed the first bottle so much. This time, I'll combine both visits into one post. What I bought: 1. Golden Spiral Auslese ¥2590 2. Tokaji Furmint Late Harvest 2015 CH Enie ¥1890 Both prices include consumption tax. Golden Spiral Auslese is a blend of Riesling and Silvaner, with a good amount of sweetness but a light and refreshing taste compared to Sauternes. The acidity that comes afterwards is crisp, making it very easy to drink. With a lower alcohol content, it's dangerously easy to finish a bottle without realizing it. Tokaji Furmint Late Harvest 2015 CH Enie has some noble rot influence but is much lighter and smoother to drink compared to a normal noble rot wine. It also has a strong acidity typical of noble rot wines, making it go down smoothly. I'm curious about the Ice Wine from Friedrich Becker with the "grapes and fox" label. I'll definitely try that next time. Thank you for the delicious wines!

The shop Rakua, which had been closed for renovations, finally reopened on October 9th. I wanted to check out the sale to celebrate the renewal, but on the first and second day, there were entry restrictions due to crowded registers during the shopping hours around 6 pm, so I couldn't bring myself to rush in. A few days later, I visited at a slightly later time when there were no entry restrictions, and managed to get the sale items I had checked in advance. Here are the items I bought: Sapori di Italia Prosciutto Crudo Petal ¥899 Seijo Ishii Smoked Salmon Slices ¥899 Donna Cristina Mozzarella di Bufala ¥799 (Tax not included in the above prices) [Sapori di Italia Prosciutto Crudo Petal] This discounted prosciutto was a great find. It's a large portion for the price, and although it may be slightly drier and tougher compared to the ones at department store food halls, the concentrated umami flavor is delightful with each bite. [Seijo Ishii Smoked Salmon Slices] This was the highlight of my haul. The richness of the fat was impressive, as it created small pools at the bottom of the pack. The thick and large slices were very satisfying. [Donna Cristina Mozzarella di Bufala] After the ham and salmon, I couldn't resist checking out the cheese section. Among several options, I was drawn to this mozzarella labeled as part of the "Autumn Sale". It had a rich milky taste typical of bufala, and the high fat content made it quite soft. While the first slice had a rich flavor, the second slice had a slight milky odor, so I drizzled some olive oil over it. The new store had significantly upgraded meat and fish sections compared to before. They also had food stands offering original soft serve and takeout burgers. In addition to the items I purchased, there were many other great sale items, making it hard to resist opening my wallet wide. Despite the temptation, I might find myself drawn back soon by the great value for money. Thank you for the delicious meal! ☆

On the way to Tokyo Dome, there are several convenience stores, but before the game, they are packed with people, making it impossible to shop comfortably. If you want to buy something a little different that you can't find at the Dome store, it's hard to stop at the convenience stores. In that case, I recommend stopping by the commercial facility "LaQua" attached to the Dome. The shop here can be busy before the game, but not overwhelmingly crowded, just lively. You can shop quickly without much hassle. I bought a bento box perfect for a light meal and a Hokkaido Four-Leaf product for dessert. [Three Types of Chicken Bento] ¥500 [Four-Leaf Milk Coffee] ¥104. It seems like the newly renovated Seijo Ishii store is also open, so this place is recommended for those who want to avoid crowded convenience stores.

I saw this popular product being introduced on TV and decided to try it since I could stop by Seijo Ishii. It's a Malaysian dessert called "Momo Chacha," which means a mix of things. It consists of coconut-flavored blancmange (white part) and custard sauce (yellow part) with toppings served separately, including sweetened sweet potatoes, salty beans, and mochi, which you mix together to eat. However, I personally prefer to scoop up the toppings, blancmange, and custard sauce separately. When you put it in your mouth, it's a delight (^┰^). I'm not a big fan of coconut usually, but this coconut had a rich and sweet flavor that I enjoyed. The salty beans, sweetened sweet potatoes, and soft mochi all had their own delicious flavors. Each component is tasty on its own. The quality of the product is good. I would definitely buy and eat it again! (^^)d

"Kurimizukushi Hojicha Mousse Wagashi Parfait"♪ Bought this dessert that's been a hot topic on TV. Inside are walnuts, sweet red bean paste, black beans, and walnut mochi with walnut paste♪ And the fluffy hojicha mousse (≧∇≦) The perfect balance of flavors is absolutely delicious!!

I've always wanted to try the Moo Moo Chacha cheesecake from Seijo Ishii! When I finally got the chance, I enjoyed it at a friend's house along with other cakes and fried chicken. The Moo Moo Chacha cheesecake has a pudding-like base with a coconut flavor. It's delicious on its own, but mixing it up gives it a refreshing and creamy Asian dessert feel. I wanted to buy more the next day, but couldn't find it at a different Seijo Ishii store. The cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory was also rich and delicious, with a hint of cinnamon in the tart crust. I love Seijo Ishii and their variety of cheesecakes, but it's hard to decide which one to get. Overall, I had a great experience with the desserts and fried chicken from Seijo Ishii!

I always check out the delicious sweets at the supermarket, not only buying the classic cheesecake but also trying the seasonal flavors. This time, I tried the "Pumpkin Cheesecake" with a triangular cut, which had a subtle sweetness and was perfect for adults. For the second piece, I drizzled plenty of honey on top to enhance the sweetness, and it was delicious.

This store has a relatively large sales floor area and a wide variety of products. They offer famous "premium cheesecake" as well as refrigerated sweets and imported foods. The "mitarashi mochi" has a unique two-tone appearance with a mochi-flavored top and a sweet and salty soy sauce-flavored bottom. It's like eating mitarashi dango, very interesting and delicious! The "black warabi mochi" is a little sweet and has a normal chewy texture like regular warabi mochi. It's great that it has a long shelf life.

Earl Grey fruit jelly for 323 yen. It's supposed to be jelly, but in my opinion, jelly should be wobbly. This one is too firm! It's more like a gummy. And where is the Earl Grey flavor? It's not tasty at all. (ー_ー)

The fruit anmitsu costs 388 yen. It is simply delicious! (^_^)

Renewed on October 9, 2019! The layout of the store is quite different from before, which is a bit confusing. The face-to-face meat section is in the same place as before. The fresh fish section has expanded a bit, but the variety of products is definitely less than other supermarkets. It feels pretty much the same as before the renewal. Today, I bought the original juicy pork dumplings (12 pieces) and some vegetables. The dumplings didn't have green peas on top, which was a relief for someone like me who dislikes green peas. They were quite delicious. Along with the store renovation, a food stand has also opened! They sell tapioca drinks, soft serve ice cream, parfaits, hamburgers, alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and more. It will take some time to get used to the new Seijo Ishii.
