The exterior looks stylish with a hint of Japanese taste, but it is definitely a Western-style pastry shop! The interior is a bit dark, making it hard to see the showcase without entering. It's a small shop, so once you enter, you feel like you have to buy something before leaving. Today, I was recommended by a friend that "the cream puffs here are delicious," so I entered with the purpose of buying cream puffs. However, even though it was around 12:30 on a weekday, there were only 2 cream puffs left. It must be a popular item. When I asked, "Are these the last 2?" the staff replied, "Yes." It seems like there won't be more baked anytime soon, so those who want to buy should go early. In the end, I bought the cream puffs, a Chou Chou (180 yen), and a cheese souffle (120 yen). The showcase had a variety of cute cakes, but I'll try those next time. Overall, the prices seemed a bit high for the size, but they looked delicious. They also had a good selection of baked goods. About 6 years ago in October, I visited this shop to buy a strawberry whole cake for my daughter's first birthday, but I was told, "Strawberries are not in season, so we don't use them at this time. It's impossible for us." It seems like they have a strong commitment or policy at this shop. The way they said it was a bit cold, though. They didn't ask about the time it would take to get home, and when I checked later, there were no ice packs inside. Oh, there's no service... Next time I go, I'll have to bring a cooler bag and ice packs...I also saw cooler bags being sold in the shop (I don't remember the price). The Chou Chou and cheese souffle I had at home were delicious. The Chou Chou had a crispy choux pastry, which I like, with plenty of cream and just the right amount of sweetness. The cheese souffle was light and melty, and it was also delicious. I wish it was a bit bigger. I enjoyed them both!
