Anyway, it's really cheap! I bought various things. The cake was better than its price. The Western-style confection dorayaki, white chocolate topped waffle -> extremely delicious. Financier -> department store basement level. You can't buy this cheaply anywhere else. There are no misses with the rice crackers. I recommend eating everything. I will definitely come back here.

【4-month revisit】After enjoying a super spicy curry lunch in the Gyoen area, I am heading back for an afternoon of staying in. But before that, I decided to pick up some dessert here. I was thinking of getting my usual Choco Bucky, but I found a slightly different option - mint flavor. I hesitated a bit, but decided to give it a try. And the verdict... I shouldn't have eaten it. Mixing mint with something sweet just doesn't work, as I sadly found out.【Overview】This is a chain dessert store located on the first floor of Tokyu Tower in Shinjuku Fukutoku-cho, next to Ito Yokado. I never really stopped by here before, but it felt like a good find during the pandemic.

【Returning after 2 months】After having lunch in the Gyoen area, I decided to get some dessert. Surprisingly, I found some reasonably priced ice cream called "Choco Bucky" - I got two sticks, one Sky Berry for 75 yen and one Vanilla for 64 yen. The name comes from the fact that there are chocolate pieces inside the ice cream that make a "bucky" sound when you bite into them. It's a good companion for staying at home at a reasonable price.【Overview】This is a chain confectionery store located on the 1st floor of Tokyu Tower in Shinjuku Fukutoku-cho, next to Ito Yokado. I never really stopped by before, but I discovered it during the pandemic as a nice treat to have at home.

I found a chain store selling sweets on the first floor of Tokyu Tower in Tomihisa-cho, Shinjuku. I usually just walk past it because I'm not interested in buying sweets, but I suddenly thought it might be nice to have something as a treat for my indoor life. I went inside and found stick ice creams called Choco Bucky priced at 64 yen, which seemed like a good deal for a chain store. I decided to buy the chocolate flavor. I feel like my afternoon indoor life will be a bit better with this treat. It's nice to think about staying in a warm room during the cold season and eating cold ice cream. It makes me feel a little more positive. (laughs)

Inside Ito-Yokado, there is a Chateraise. Also, within this Ito-Yokado, there is a Fujiya. For a special occasion, I purchased a 14cm whole cake. The quality of the grapes goes without saying, and the cream is smooth, slightly loose, and just the right amount of sweetness. The sponge is not too dense. Slices of strawberries are layered between the sponge, adding a touch of acidity and flavor. It was worth the price. (September 2021)

"Reasonably priced yet delicious" is the popular patisserie Shatoreze. I had been curious about it for a while, but there are no stores in the city, right? But when I searched, I unexpectedly found it in Shinjuku!! August 2021, Friday, 4:30 pm. I finally had the opportunity to visit. The shop, located in a corner of Ito Yokado, had a wide variety of products from fresh sweets to bread, and I was excited to see them. Here are some of the products displayed during my visit.

There was a 20% off "Eco Corner" in the store, and I also bought some items from there. (So grateful!!)＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿【Tasting】●Choco Baki Vanilla 64 yen (tax included)●Choco Baki Chocolate 64 yen (tax included)I had been curious about Choco Baki since I saw it on TV. I tried the Vanilla first, and the balance between the crispy chocolate layer and vanilla ice cream was excellent. There was more chocolate layer than I had imagined, which made me happy as a chocolate lover. The vanilla was light, but the abundance of crispy chocolate provided a satisfying texture. The chocolate had a stronger flavor than the vanilla (of course), and the base chocolate ice cream was also light, so it wasn't too rich. But I think it would be better suited for winter. If you eat it in summer (on a hot day), the vanilla might taste better.●Shirasu Spring Salt Bean Daifuku 140 yen (tax excluded) with 20% off●Tokachi Red Bean Ohagi 2 pieces 259 yen (tax included) with 20% off●Grape Mochi?●Special Japanese Dashi Mitarashi Dango Daifuku, Ohagi, and Grape Mochi were purchased from the discount corner. I'm not a fan of overly sweet treats, and these sweets didn't feel too sweet to me (Mitarashi Dango & Grape Mochi were the sweetest), but personally, I found them slightly on the sweeter side. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't taste the dashi from the "Mitarashi" and the soy sauce flavor was subtle.●Hokkaido Butter Dorayaki 129 yen (tax included)This product had been featured on various TV shows. As a fan of red bean and butter, I had been curious about this item as much as Choco Baki. The softness of the dough was amazing.

The highlight of going to Shinjuku Tomikumachi is Chateraise. Today, I brought the used bottle from the other day (I washed it) to Chateraise. As usual, I bought bread at Mineya, bought sandwich bread at Ippondo, ordered a burger to go at Mineya Kitchen Lab. While waiting for the burger, I patrolled through York Foods instead of Yorkdo. I went to Chateraise in York Foods, took out the bottle at the register, and the staff immediately took it. They used an empty bottle next to the barrel wine for the new wine. I was a bit worried if a lightly rinsed bottle would be okay for the fresh wine. In a way, it's reassuring. But the previous bottle had a tighter lid. Each bottle seems to have its own unique characteristics. (laughs) The previous one was Cabernet red, so this time it's Chardonnay white @754 yen. I drank it little by little every day, and white wine seems to change in taste more easily than red. I drank it faster than the red one. I couldn't resist buying at Chateraise: Double Chou Cream @108 yen, and additive-free contract farm egg pudding @108 yen. It was delicious as always. Chateraise is the best!

2020/6『Chatres Ito Yokado Tomihisa Store』✨✨ "Hmm!? Should I post this on Tabelog?" I'm a little hesitant (-_-;) I usually don't review large chain stores, but I found other people's reviews helpful and decided to share my experience. The store opened in April 2020. It is located on the 1st floor of a tower apartment a 7-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Shinjuku Gyoenmae Station. Chatres has become popular nationwide, right? Actually, I have never tried Chatres sweets before (lol) My first visit turned out to be for wine... Now, let's see how it tastes (*´∇｀)ﾉ ■ Winery-direct Unfiltered, Unpasteurized Wine Chatres is an unfiltered, unpasteurized "natural wine" with a smooth mouthfeel. It has a rich taste and pairs well with red meat dishes. It has a youthful flavor with herbal and berry aromas. Main grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon ■ Barrel-aged Natural Wine (Red) 686 yen (excluding tax) Bottle: 143 yen extra - Slightly sweet - Moderate astringency, easy to drink - It's okay for this price (I'm slightly unsure about repurchasing) ■ Service The staff provided good service. ■ Price It's cheap. "Environmentally friendly as the bottle is reused," "No additives are good." Chatres truly focuses on creating quality products. I need to try Chatres debut (western confectionery) soon♪ Thank you for the meal m(__)m □ Chatres Chatres follows a material-oriented factory system called "Farm Factory," where they directly source ingredients such as eggs, milk, water, and fruits from local contract farmers and farms, and produce sweets at the production site. This groundbreaking concept of sourcing ingredients directly, manufacturing at domestic factories, and directly distributing to nationwide stores without going through wholesalers began in 1985, overturning the conventional wisdom at the time.

Everyone loves the sweets from Chateraise. Recently, they have started selling wine as well. And it's even served in barrels. Chateraise is from Yamanashi, known for grapes and wine. It's located inside the Yokocho Food Market (which is apparently changing its name in June). When you pay for a bottle at 157 yen and wine at 754 yen at the register, the staff will pour the wine into the bottle for you. They will put a label on it and remind you to finish it within 2 weeks. The bottle can be reused multiple times if you wash it and bring it back. It's an eco-friendly system. When you look closely at the bottle at home, it feels precious. The lid is attached to the bottle, making it secure. The taste of the wine is quite rich, maybe too rich to finish in 2 weeks. They also have their usual sweets like cream puffs and puddings. I wanted to buy a lot of ice cream for the summer, but this time I only bought some specific items. Chateraise sweets always make you happy at an affordable price. Now with the addition of wine, it seems like happiness will be doubled.

Opened on April 22nd in the Ito Yokado in Tomioka-cho, this is the second time I have visited Shatoreze. The first time, it was very crowded so I didn't wait in line. This time, with fewer customers due to the rain and chilly weather, I decided to buy something to take home. Shatoreze is surprisingly cheap, and I couldn't resist buying some ice cream since it was cool outside. I purchased a Special Strawberry Shortcake (324 yen tax included) and three other cup ice creams. The strawberry shortcake had fluffy cream and sponge, with sweet strawberries that looked cool and stylish. For only 300 yen, it was a great deal. The Kyoto Uji Matcha ice cream (151 yen tax included) was also irresistible with its rich flavor. Shatoreze is definitely a place to keep an eye on.

The other day, I was told by someone I met at the park that there is a Shatoreze inside the Yokaodo in Tomioka-cho, so I hurried over. It was very popular and many customers were enjoying shopping. Shatoreze's 100 yen sweets are recommended for moms raising children. ✳︎ Pudding made with eggs from a contract farm with no additives. It has a gentle taste with a slightly bitter caramel. You can feed it to your children with peace of mind. ✳︎ Fluffy thick-cut roll cake made with freshly laid eggs. It has a solid sponge cake-like texture. It has a nostalgic taste.

At the York Foods store on December 12th, I bought a cake decorated with a Santa Claus figurine and holly for a festive touch. There was one strawberry on top. Inside the sponge cake, there were no sliced strawberries.
