I made the effort to stop by. Oh! Both days I can come are regular holidays, but I decided to come anyway, and they were open! I thought it was a home sweets shop because it looked like a corner of a house, but it turned out to be a splendid store! The store had a wide variety of products, and I got really excited. The baked goods looked delicious, and even a cake that was featured on ANA's official website! They even had a cake made with a whole peach! I really wanted to try their sponge cake, so after much deliberation, I chose the Saison, which seemed like a sliced roll cake. The soft serve ice cream also looked delicious. When I tried it, the roasted green tea mix was rich and tasty! The Saison had a fluffy sponge, just as I imagined, and the fruit was delicious too! Honestly, I never thought I would be able to eat mango in Nemuro. This place is really something special. I checked their website later. If you plan to visit, check out their website first. You'll find recommendations there. They even had croissants. If you ever go to Nemuro, make sure to visit this place, even if you have to go out of your way. The sugar art is also amazing. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

A sweets shop located about a 7-minute walk from the final stop, Nemuro Station, on the JR Hanasaki Line. Inside the shop, there are sugar sculptures stacked from bottom to top, which also inspired the name "MONTAGE." The "Nemuro Drift Ice" dessert (tax included 648 yen) is delicate, with the chocolate on top melting with the warmth of your hands, and the crunchy cookie base is delicious.

There is a cake shop in Nemuro, so I did some research before visiting the store. The pastry chef (owner) is originally from Nemuro, trained abroad, and then returned to Nemuro. I was looking forward to going to Montage as I was also transferred to Nemuro. Finally, I visited the shop. When I entered, I was greeted by a middle-aged or older female staff member, who seemed to be the owner's wife. The cakes in the showcase were still full and sparkling even after 3 pm. While looking at the cakes, I could feel the staff's eyes on me. It was difficult to place an order. Perhaps it was due to the COVID-19 measures with masks and partitions in place, or maybe my voice was too soft, or the staff had trouble hearing. After paying, the following conversation with the female staff took place: "Are you two running the shop together?" "Yes, we are." "I was transferred from Kansai to Nemuro, and I have been looking forward to going to Montage since it was decided that I would come to Nemuro. I read various articles on the internet." "We don't use social media here." "But I heard that you trained abroad and worked in Tokyo?" "Are you mistaking us for another shop?" When I got home, I opened the internet and found that I did not mistake the shop for another. It was impossible to make such a mistake, considering how much I was looking forward to it. As mentioned in other reviews, they should work on providing a more rounded customer service, or if the staff is not good at customer service, they should hire other staff. I don't think there is anyone as unfriendly as that staff member. Customer service is the face of the store. The taste of the cake was fine. I haven't tried other cakes in Nemuro, so I can't compare, but it was equally delicious as cakes in urban areas. Maybe it's because they are the most popular in Nemuro, that's why such customer service is acceptable, or maybe there are issues with the owner? The husband? Or maybe the staff are stressed from coming to an unfamiliar place, etc. I thought about various things. I am curious about the croissants in the showcase, but I am afraid to go back and experience that kind of service again, so I don't think I will be able to go back.

The front of the shop has a long eave and a fence, creating a gate-like entrance. It seems to be a clever way to prevent snow from entering the store, but I like that it is designed in a cute way rather than just a glasshouse surrounding the entrance. When I visited in the early evening, some items were already sold out. It was disappointing that I could only have one cake due to my stomach capacity. However, I am satisfied with the delicious cake I had! Looking at the photos now, I wonder why I didn't choose the mango and strawberry tart. Also, is this the easternmost cake shop in Japan?

The patisserie Montage in Nemuro offers trendy and stylish sweets, like the Tiramisu in a cat-shaped container called Torajiro. The overall taste is quite sweet, almost too sweet for my liking. I visited Nemuro and couldn't help but search for a cake shop, so I ended up at Patisserie Montage. The display window was filled with an array of stylish sweets that looked delightful. I tried a few of them, but found them to be overly sweet. If the sweetness was toned down a bit, they would have been delicious. The Tiramisu in a cat container was cute and fluffy, but too sweet. The Eclair with layers of cream was unique, but the sweetness of the cream made it too cloying. The small Choux cream was cute and filled generously with cream, but also on the sweeter side.

"Patisserie Montage" in Nemuro, there are two of us. We are here for sightseeing, so we are not ordering a lot. It's almost closing time, but we decided to stop by this cake shop. When we arrived, there were a few people coming in and out last night, wondering, "What is this place?" The exterior looks stylish, but the interior, especially the cakes, have a stylish feel that rivals the city. The cakes are fantastic. They are all expensive, but there are two women here, and although there is nothing special about us being two people, the atmosphere feels quite strict. When we seem relaxed, they show a bit of irritation. We ordered the "Wasanbon Roll Cake," the "Strawberry Tart with a Long Name," and the "Anno Imo Tart." It's expensive, and many shops don't accept PayPay. The customers seem to be constantly coming in, and although the prices are high, they showed us some amazing cakes. It would be nice if they could have a bit more friendly customer service. My wife tried the tart and said, "I thought it was strawberry, but it's actually wood strawberry." She suddenly said, "It's as sour as Ume-chan." Then she tried it, and said, "The tart crust is delicious, crispy, and the wood strawberries are coated well, so they're not that sour. It's a delicious tart." The roll cake is moist, the cake is moist, and there's a lot of whipped cream, but not as much as I thought. The Wasanbon is delicious. It's lightly coated, but it's delicious. I thought the appearance wouldn't lose to high-end cake shops in Sapporo, but when I tried it, it wasn't that level. Still, in Nemuro, having a cake shop like this is amazing.

In September 2019, I visited Patisserie Montage in Nemuro, which opened in 2015. I remember reading about it in the newspaper when it first opened. The owner and chef, Mr. Uemura, had worked at Esprit de Paris in Paris. Perhaps we should have tried the Calébaut chocolate cake, which is highly recommended at this shop. This time, we purchased Tiramisu Tradizionale for 420 yen, Mango and Strawberry Tart for 450 yen, and Paris Mont Blanc for 520 yen. We shared them between two people. Although the prices were on the high end for Nemuro in Eastern Hokkaido, it was a delight to be able to buy delicious cakes in Nemuro. If we have the chance to stop by again, we would like to try purchasing chocolate sweets. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a cake shop recommended by a young person. I had high expectations because I heard it was stylish. However, the interior was cluttered and my purchasing desire decreased. I ended up only buying cakes and leaving. The prices may be high, but if they are delicious, then it's worth it, so I bought a lot. The staff seemed to be the owner's wife. I felt a lack of friendliness in the service, which made me a bit impatient. The taste was not particularly amazing, but I could tell that the cakes were made with care. My companion and I speculated that maybe the high prices were due to the transportation costs of ingredients since it's located in the far east. However, being a major producer of fresh milk, they could potentially lower the prices. It's been over a month since I visited, and when I think back, considering the prices and service, I don't think I would go back.
