I stopped by Ario Kasai in September 2020 and visited this place as well. It's located at the back of the food court on the 1st floor, with a wide but not very deep layout. The shop has a large variety of products, so you need to narrow down your choices to avoid getting lost. Today, I decided to limit my purchases, although I already had an idea of what I wanted to buy. I bought a Shine Muscat and Honey Fruit Sauce, which was like a jam with grape skins in it. It wasn't too sweet and tasted good when spread on bread. I also bought a Soy Sauce with Seaweed that had a nice seaweed aroma and a subtle sweetness from the soy sauce. It would be perfect for dishes like rice with egg. Lastly, I purchased a Premium Darjeeling Tea from the Black Series, which was made in Sri Lanka using Darjeeling tea leaves. It had a unique aroma and a typical Darjeeling tea taste. Overall, it was a good purchase for its price. I also bought a Canele, which was supposed to have a crispy caramelized surface and a soft, moist inside, but it didn't quite meet those expectations.

【Takeout】Carrying coffee beans, ingredients, alcohol, juice, sweets, dairy products, etc., Caldi Coffee Farm is a chain store that is expanding nationwide. It is often located as a tenant in large commercial facilities, and the coffee tasting service at the entrance is also attractive. This store is located on the first floor as a tenant at Ario Kasai, which is affiliated with Ito-Yokado and Seven-Eleven. October 4, 2018, 6:30 pm, first visit, without a smartphone, Mogutan. I always choose a restaurant based on the feeling of the moment. Even during this Tokyo trip, I encountered several coincidences, such as zero reviews and unregistered restaurants on Tabelog. Surely, Tsukikage-sensei is watching from somewhere. "Mogutan, you're so interesting" (00;) Acting alone in Kanto, the first place was, of course, this restaurant that was not registered on Tabelog. It is located next to the food court area. Like any Caldi store, most customers here are women. Let's buy some alcohol here. Cidre Poire, a sparkling wine with a taste of Western pear, is easy to drink with a sweet aroma and a refreshing aftertaste. Perfect as an aperitif (・∀・) Good, right? Casa Santos Lima Cabra, a red wine from Portugal, has a fruity acidity and a heavy astringency. Despite the price, it is a full-bodied red wine with a satisfying taste. Glühwein, a hot wine from Germany, is spiced and very warming. The chips are well-seasoned, crispy, and delicious. Now that I have bought alcohol, let's wander around Ario a little more~ (・ω・)

It is a chain store that mainly deals with coffee beans from Ario Kasai, offering a variety of domestic and international food and drinks. I purchased the Suutai Packy Mao super spicy basil yakisoba (¥138) on sale. It is indeed very spicy, with a strong punch of chili peppers and pepper. The basil flavor is also prominent, making it quite a high-quality cup noodle. It seems to be a product from "Nissin," but I have never seen it in supermarkets or convenience stores.

At Ario Katsushika, I went shopping at the Caldi store (643rd in the Katsushika area). This Caldi also sells a lot of cheap wine. Personally, I lose interest in drinking when it's this cheap, but Caldi sells many other things. Today, I found cup noodles. They had "Taiwan Ramen without Soup" and "Taiwan Hot Pot Style Ramen" on display. These seemed to be Caldi's private brand, manufactured by Katokichi Suisan. I didn't know this, but Katokichi is now under JT. The noodles are non-fried, with a soy sauce-based sauce, and ingredients like small leeks, chili peppers, and garlic. Based on the contents, it seems like the cost is kept low, but those who like oil noodles might find it delicious. I enjoyed it. It seems that Caldi often releases such original cup noodles, so I might keep an eye on them in the future.
