Shatoreeze is often underestimated, but I actually quite like it. I was really impressed when I tried the parfait at their slightly upscale line, Yatsudoki, in Ginza. Unfortunately, it seems like it closed down quickly. Yatsudoki has opened a store in the building where Conrow is located, on the first floor. It's a sales-only store, and I'm a bit worried about its longevity due to the sporadic foot traffic in the area, but I really hope they do well. Conrow, located just above Yatsudoki, has the best balance of taste and price in this neighborhood, in my opinion. It's even better than Blue Papaya. There's a popular Thai restaurant just beyond Conrow, but I haven't tried it because the prices seem a bit high from the start. Conrow, on the other hand, is affordable and delicious, with dishes under 1000 yen. I've only tried the Massaman curry, but if it's similar to the one in Shibuya Conrow, then the Green Curry and Gaeng Gai are likely also top-notch. Sorry, that turned into a review of Conrow rather than Shatoreeze. While browsing the products with snow on my head, I decided to go for the Apple Pie, which looked shiny and large. I also bought a Butter Dorayaki for a snack the next day. There are so many tempting options here; the Strawberry Roll Cake looks delicious, and the Milk Crepe and Mont Blanc seem great too. However, the Apple Pie was too crispy on the outside and not very juicy inside, making it unsuitable for eating at work. The crust falls apart easily. I think it might have a different impression if I warm it up a bit at home, use a knife, and add some cream. I originally planned to have the Butter Dorayaki the next day, but since I was a bit disappointed by the Apple Pie, I decided to try it on the same day. It was delicious! The buttery flavor was slightly stronger than other similar items, making the red bean paste stand out. And it's only 120 yen! Other people who tried the cakes said they were delicious as well. Well, I'm the one funding this, so I can't say they're bad, but still. With a variety of prize options, my snack enjoyment has increased. I hope both Conrow and Shatoreeze thrive. What was that thing called dieting again?
