During French Patisserie Week, I tried the takeout "Citron Pistache" which was a summer-appropriate choice. I enjoyed it between the Imperial Hotel and the Palace Hotel. The hojicha crumble inside played a nice role, balancing the delicate flavors of lemon and pistachio without one overpowering the other.

Tokyo Kaikan is known for its Mont Blanc, but that's not all they have. The Mont Blanc was created by the first pastry chef, Katsume Kiyotaka, around 1950, as an adaptation for the Japanese palate. The chestnut retains its chunky texture while also being smooth on the palate. The fluffy and light cream is delicious, reaching the pinnacle of sweetness. It's a simple yet perfected dessert. The Mille-feuille is a limited edition reissue version. It can be enjoyed with cream instead of custard, which is a delightful surprise. The pastry is soft with a crispy texture. The strawberries are fresh and crunchy. With plenty of cream, it truly brings happiness. I would love to go back and buy the reissued Mille-feuille again.

After lunch, I wanted to have tea at Tokyo Kaikan but it was crowded so I gave up and just bought cakes to take home. - Mont Blanc: ¥1,080 (tax included) - Strawberry Millefeuille Slice [Reissue Sweets]: ¥864 (tax included) - Strawberry Tart: ¥810 (tax included) The strawberry tart was so delicate and beautiful that it was even moving. I'm not a fan of cream but I couldn't resist the deliciousness of the Mont Blanc and finished it in no time. I love the cakes at Tokyo Kaikan, both in appearance and taste.

I got a takeout of Mont Blanc! It's a reward for working hard. It's full of cream, with deep chestnut flavor, fluffy, and a happy moment. It's quite a large portion. It goes well with coffee too! It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

In 1922 during the Taisho era, the Tokyo Kaikan was opened with the aim of being a social gathering place where anyone could come together in a facility that the world could be proud of. On November 1, 2022, the Tokyo Kaikan celebrated its 100th anniversary since its opening. To commemorate the 100th anniversary, new products, special menus, and events are being held, and traditional sweets are being revived and offered at "Sweets & Gifts." I visited this time to try the revived sweets. Located in a prime location in Marunouchi, opposite the Imperial Theater, the main building was rebuilt in 2019 and is now in its 3rd generation. As soon as you enter the entrance of Sweets & Gifts, you can see the shining showcase from a distance. The revived sweets available during my visit were the Strawberry Mille-feuille and the Mont Blanc Classic. And if you visit the Tokyo Kaikan, you can't miss the Mont Blanc. The Mont Blanc is said to have been created by the first pastry chef of the Tokyo Kaikan, Chef Katsumoku, known as the founder of Japanese Western sweets, who saw the Mont Blanc (a white mountain dessert) and came up with an arrangement for the Japanese people. There were also tarts and chocolates using strawberries, but this time I purchased three items: - Mont Blanc (1080 yen) ★ 4.0 A representative item of the Tokyo Kaikan that has been loved by many people since its release 70 years ago. Covered with Chantilly cream, inside is filled with plenty of chestnuts. The base is sponge cake. It's not a type that has a chestnut flavor prominently on the front like a Mont Blanc made with Japanese chestnuts, but a gentle Chantilly with a faint chestnut flavor. A well-balanced item with Chantilly and chestnut. You can understand why it has been loved for a long time. - Strawberry Mille-feuille (864 yen) ★ 3.8 Sold as a revived sweet of the Tokyo Kaikan. A combination of pie dough made with shortening and whipped cream. The impression is that the cream is not custard but whipped cream. Moist pie crust with gentle whipped cream. The taste is similar to a shortcake. - Mont Blanc Classic (810 yen) ★ 3.7 Sold as a revived sweet of the Tokyo Kaikan. Unlike the chestnut-flavored Mont Blanc made with Japanese chestnuts that are popular nowadays, this is a classic composition of rum, Chantilly, and chestnut paste. The Mont Blanc was released 70 years ago, but it was still delicious enough to enjoy even in modern times. On the other hand, the revived sweets are different from the complex modern Petit Gateaux, offering a simple, old-fashioned Petit Gateaux to enjoy. Thank you for the meal.

Tokyo Marunouchi "Tokyo Kaikan Main Building". In celebration of Valentine's Day ♥️. Enjoying the limited edition Marron Chantilly at the Tokyo Kaikan Main Building~(^^). Purchased the Main Building limited edition "Mini Marron Chantilly Set (¥1,728)", "Ruby Chocolat Tart (¥1,404)", and the seasonal Marron Chantilly "Marron Chantilly Chocolat (¥1,080)"~(^^). The "Strawberry" in the Mini Marron Chantilly has a rich strawberry flavor that blends well with the Marron, the normal "Marron Chantilly" is definitely a hit, and the "Chocolat" has a great combination of chocolate and Marron~. The Ruby Chocolat Tart has Ruby Chocolat, strawberries, and macarons on top, with caramelized ganache as an accent, creating a harmonious mix in your mouth~. The Marron Chantilly Chocolat has chestnuts inside and a slightly bitter chocolate that blends well, creating another delightful experience~. This time, the Marron Chantilly and Ruby Chocolat brought pure joy to Tokyo~(lol).

I had a delicious petit baguette at Rossi Terrace. I bought it from the first floor sweets & gift corner. The taste of the wheat flour was to my liking, so I also bought a soft baguette. Eating it as is with soy milk butter and wheat flour was the best combination. Eating it plain without any toppings is the most delicious way. Delicious! Delicious!

Family purchased. When it comes to Tokyo Kaikan, Maron Chantilly is famous, and I think it is even served at the high-end restaurant in Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi store. I actually tried Maron Chantilly last year. Let's be honest. It didn't suit my taste at all. What didn't suit me was the cream. It didn't match at all, to the point where I didn't even leave a review or take a photo. The same person who purchased it last time also bought it this time, and I couldn't help but feel irritated, thinking, "Don't they remember last year?" I saw it at Marusho Akabane store when I went to eat katsudon, passed by at Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi, and ignored it at other places. So, what came to our house this time was: Savarin (for adults), Strawberry Shortcake with Amaou strawberries, Chocolate and Berry cakes. I didn't buy them myself, so I don't know the prices. Savarin is a type with liqueur in a dropper, which is common nowadays. It is covered with cream and looks pure white like snow. The store said it contains 40% liqueur, making it strictly for adults, but the amount is not significant, so it doesn't give a strong impression (individual differences may apply). Inside, there is cube-shaped pear compote. There is plenty of whipped cream... really plenty. What doesn't match? Probably the extremely high milk fat content. After eating, there is a lingering greasiness in the mouth, which is not very pleasant. I avoid custards that say "made with plenty of whipped cream!" because of this. The same goes for Fukukohi's pudding. Some people may exclaim, "Wow, it's rich and creamy♡," but personally, this type of whipped cream is the worst for me. Well, it's a matter of preference, so it's suitable for those who like thick and heavy creamy textures. Amaou Strawberry Shortcake is almost twice the price of Savarin. Because it uses Amaou strawberries. The acidity of Amaou strawberries is quite strong. The sliced strawberries sandwiched between the sponge cake are likely not fresh but cooked. The texture is soft, and the cream has a slight color transfer from the strawberries. The sponge part melts nicely in the mouth, and it appears to be moistened with a strawberry syrup-like substance, possibly due to the color transfer from the strawberries. The cream is the same. It really makes a strong statement. Chocolate and Berry cake, according to the person who ate it, the berries balance out the sweetness of the chocolate, making it quite delicious. It's all a matter of preference, so it's up to you, but for those who like it, the heavy cream in this cake is quite unusual for modern times. It might be worth trying Maron Chantilly since it's famous. The main restaurant reportedly received one Michelin star this year. I wonder if the food is good. But if they serve this cream in desserts, I'm not so sure.

This snack may not be flashy or novel, but it is delicious and I like it. Today, I visited to try the Cinnamon Bread (864 yen) available only on Mondays. It has a fluffy bread dough with plenty of cinnamon powder and granulated sugar rolled inside, and it is delicious. While I personally prefer cinnamon rolls made with Danish pastry dough, this one is also good. It may be a bit pricey, but considering it's equivalent to three pieces, it's not too bad. Plus, you can make a reservation, so I would like to visit again if I have the chance.

This is my second time coming to buy the Mont Blanc from this shop, as I was craving it. The current seasonal limited edition Premium Mont Blanc features melon. It contains several chunks of melon balls, while still including chestnut for a smooth taste. Compared to the regular Mont Blanc at 980 yen, this seasonal edition was priced at 1,620 yen, but I couldn't resist trying the limited edition flavor again this time. I haven't even tried the regular Mont Blanc yet, as I keep getting drawn to the seasonal items. The only downside is that if you take it home in the summer, it can become soft within an hour. I'll come back when it gets colder.

I visited Tokyo Kaikan for a friend's wedding and heard that Maron Chantilly is their specialty, so I decided to get a takeout. They had three options: regular size Maron Chantilly, seasonal fruit version, and a smaller size of each. Being a foodie, I got all three. First, I tried the classic plain Maron Chantilly. Opening the dome-shaped cream topping was exciting, and the chestnut flavor was rich and delicious. The chestnut dessert I had at the wedding reception was amazing, but this one was equally rich and delightful. It looked a bit heavy for a whole piece, so the mini size was just right. The seasonal fruit flavors were mango and melon. Both were rich and enjoyable, but I was particularly impressed by the melon. I usually don't like "melon-flavored" foods, including melon soda, but this tasted like real melon! I might have actually said that out loud, haha. I appreciate being able to enjoy the traditional sweets from Tokyo Kaikan at home. As a fan of baked goods, I'm eyeing the cookie tin for my next visit!

In June 2022, the take away has a rating of 3.07 with 37 reviews. One day in May, I had a stomach ache in the morning but still went to work. The pain got worse, and I ended up at the hospital where I was diagnosed with intestinal obstruction. After a few days of observation and liquid diet, I was discharged with a 4kg weight loss. A month later, I treated myself to a Mont Blanc dessert at a shop in Shinjuku. It was delicious and made me appreciate the simple pleasure of enjoying good food.

Reasonable prices allow you to enjoy various flavors. Perfect for home use! Arrange a little on your favorite plate for a snack. No guilt with elegant taste and size. Personally, I liked the sesame flavored cookies. I would like to buy them again. Thank you for the meal.

I wanted to try Mont Blanc from Marron Chantilly, so I went to buy it. It was a Mont Blanc with cream and chestnuts. Marron Chantilly costs 980 yen and looks like a dress. The cream's sweetness is elegant. I thought it was small for the price, but it was just the right size.

I received a Premium Marron Chantilly Mini Marron Chantilly Millefeuille with Amaou strawberries and Japanese chestnuts. I had always wanted to try Marron Chantilly, so I decided to pick it up during strawberry season. I also couldn't resist getting an strawberry millefeuille. Everything was delicious. The Marron Chantilly was sweet and satisfying. Thank you for the meal.

Last Christmas, I wanted this. However!! What I saw was a sign saying "Sold Out Today." I was disappointed and went home with my shoulders drooping. So, this year I made a reservation for revenge!! I made a reservation. ⚫︎ Seasonal Petit Four Noel S2862 yen (tax included) I picked it up on the day of the reservation. When I looked at the shelf, there were no products, just a sign saying "Sold Out Today." See, I told you ( ・∇・) Reserving was the right choice. I met it at home. It's like a Christmas treasure chest~(*ﾟ∀ﾟ*) So cute, so cute❤️ I keep looking at it. ☆ Pound Cake... ⚫︎ Star Decoration Fruit Pound Cake ⚫︎ Tree Decoration Butterscotch Caramel Pound Cake ☆ Soft Cookie Sandwich ⚫︎ Tree Vanilla Cookie x Cafe Cream ⚫︎ Santa Vanilla Cookie x Strawberry Cream ⚫︎ Christmas Wreath Vanilla Cookie x Apple Butter Cream The taste is not amazingly delicious, but it is of a decent quality. I was able to confirm the taste, so I would like to use it as a gift next time. A cute box that allows you to enjoy the Christmas mood.

I went to Tokyo Kaikan to try their famous Mont Blanc dessert called Marron Chantilly. It is a dessert made with cream and chestnuts, and it looked so beautiful that I had to try it. The location is conveniently connected to Nijubashi-mae Station, Yurakucho Station, and Hibiya Station. I mistakenly went to Otemachi Station instead, but eventually made it. I purchased the Marron Chantilly (980 yen) which was beautifully decorated with cream and chestnut paste, and it tasted amazing. I also tried the Mango Tart (864 yen) and a variety of Maritozzo (1,296 yen) which were all delicious. Tokyo Kaikan is definitely a place with delicious cream desserts, and I will definitely come back when I'm in the area again!

When you think of Tokyo desserts, you think of Maron Chantilly❣️ Its beautiful form resembles a pure white dress, making it a cake that is forever admired(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))✨✨ When you indulge in this cake, even an ordinary day feels like a special occasion(*´∀｀*)⭐️ It gives the image of a mountain covered in snow⭐️ The pure white cream and beautiful chestnuts create a simple yet deep flavor❣️ Takeout price: ¥980 including tax. It was my first time getting takeout, but the excitement of having a home cafe experience never stops, right?‼️‼️⭐️ Instagram: 【y.catherine.y】⭐️ Reached 2,400 followers❣️

I bought three types of sweets at Tokyo Kaikan in Marunouchi and brought them home. One of them is a strawberry tart. The tart is topped with six strawberries, making the strawberries stand out among the other sweets I've had. The combination of sweet and rich cream with the tartness of the strawberries is delightful. The strawberry shortcake has smooth and rich cream that is delicious. The other dessert, Savarin, is also delicious with a smooth cream underneath, and when soaked in rum, it can create a pleasant feeling of being slightly intoxicated. It's envy-inducing that you can buy such cakes near the station.

The petit gateau in a very cute pink can is not only Western-style sweets, but also allows you to enjoy Japanese flavors. Inside, there are cookies with a firm texture, not just soft, so you can enjoy a combination of soft and hard textures. Personally, I thought the ones with apricots or cherries in the center added a nice touch and were delicious.
