It's my day off, so I lined up for a while, but I really wanted to eat it! They sell by weight, so I bought two of each. I brought them home for a late-night dessert. They are all delicious, so it was worth the wait. I recommend the Butiquin croissant, it's crispy and delicious!

◼️ Dofinowa nuts baked confectionery that tightly packed cookies, not too hard, not too heavy, just the right amount. ◼️ Gâteau fromage small baked cheesecake with a natural cheese flavor and a crispy tart crust.

While exploring the food basement of Ginza Mitsukoshi, I stopped by this place which is next to the popular bakery Joaan with a long line. They were selling around 6 types of mini breads like croissants and galette bretonne by the gram. The prices and quantity estimates are clearly marked for each item. This time, I chose plain and chocolate croissants, kouign-amann, and fromage. The prices range from 200 to 300 yen each. It was convenient to be able to choose each item individually.

I stopped by when I visited Ginza Mitsukoshi. I always wanted to try Joaan's by-weight sweets, but there was always a long line, so I couldn't buy them. However, when I visited on a weekday, there was only one person in line, so I was surprised. It said about 400 yen for 4.5 pieces. Cheap! Moreover, everyone was buying one piece at a time, so I also ordered a small amount. - Petit Gateau Fromage x2 - Petit Kouign-Amann x2 - Mini Croissant x1 I bought all of these for a total of 339 yen. It's great that you can try a variety of things at a low price. However, I'm sorry, even though I have a sweet tooth, I felt it was too sweet, so I probably won't repeat. Still, I'm happy that I could try them at a low price.

I was curious because there is always a line, so I decided to buy. They sell by weight, so you can order by grams or by quantity. - Galette Bretonne: Ordered 100g (5 pieces) for ¥345 - Kouign-Amann: Ordered 100g (5 pieces) for ¥395 - Mini Croissant: Ordered 2 pieces for ¥54. The Galette Bretonne was delicious. It's bite-sized and perfect for a snack. They also have limited-time items that are a bit cheaper, which I think is nice.

◼️Petit Tart Fromage - I have repeatedly ordered this small but delicious baked cheese tart. It has a tart base and tastes great even when chilled. ◼️Cake au Citron - I recently tried this seasonal limited edition cake for the first time. It has a tangy lemon flavor with a crispy meringue on top. The buttery cake base is similar to a financier, with plenty of lemon peel throughout. It is similar to Miroir de Loire, but the meringue on top stays firm. The cake seems to have a slightly lower moisture content compared to Miroir de Loire, and the abundance of lemon peel is a nice touch.

◼️Petit Tart Fromage: The crust is crispy and the cheese filling has a nice tangy flavor, delicious even though it's small. ◼️Miroir de Loire: A favorite with icing and lemon peel, the pastry is also tasty. Today, I shared with someone in line, and they were really pleased and said it was delicious.

◼️I forgot the official name of the orange and lemon cake (something like Kesarang Pasarang or Nanda Kanda). It's a moist citrus-scented cake with a crispy icing and tasty orange peel. ◼️Petit Tart Fromage Tart has a crunchy crust and the cheese doesn't taste fake. It's made with real cheese and everything about it is well done. It's a small cheesecake, but it's definitely worth repeating.

◼️Pistachio and raspberry tart has a baked surface with a bright green and red raspberry filling that looks vibrant and tastes just right with a hint of acidity. When warmed up, the tart is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, making it very delicious. ◼️Petit Tart Fromage is consistently delicious with a tangy and proper cheese filling. The tart crust is crispy and not trying to hide its small size. It is refreshing yet rich, and when warmed up, it becomes fluffy.

The Petit Gateau Fromage range becomes creamy like pudding when warmed up, delicious with a crispy texture. The Petit Gateau Chocolat Marron is filled with plenty of chocolate chips and one piece of marron glace. I wish they would sell it year-round, not just during Valentine's season.

◼️Petit Gateau Fromage Rough Tart Base and Moderately Moist Baked Cheese An orthodox and delicious taste without cutting corners ◼️Petit Florentin Tart Base Roughly this size is satisfying enough

There is a new snack at Mitsukoshi that caught my eye, so I decided to try it. It's called Dofinoa, a snack with plenty of walnuts. It's similar to a certain walnut snack from Kamakura, but it crumbles quite easily. It has a melt-in-your-mouth texture, so I recommend eating it in one bite or in a place where it's okay if it spills. The taste is quite unique, a bit less sweet.

Ginza depachika, on the hunt for snacks. I approached a bakery at Mitsukoshi basement, thinking of checking out some bread... Oh? What's that line for? There are only 4 or 5 people in line, so I could buy quickly if I line up. I didn't know this, but apparently, the bakery called Joaan at the back sells mini croissants and canelés by weight, with a face-to-face sales style. I found out this fact after I started lining up (laughs). When a line forms, I can't help but be curious, "What's this line for?" I usually ignore other things, but food lines always catch my attention, right? As I lined up, I noticed that the prices were listed per 100 grams, which confused me a bit... Huh? (・・; What should I order? By grams or by quantity? I quietly listened to the orders of the people in front of me, and it seems everyone is ordering by quantity. The purchases were 5 mini croissants, 4 mini canelés, and 2 petit kouign-amann. Of course, I couldn't resist buying canelés. I also impulsively bought croissants and kouign-amann (laughs). First, the croissant. As written on the label, it's slightly sweet. When reheated, it becomes crispy. If you like croissants with a buttery feel, this might be a bit lacking. It's on the lighter side. I prefer this. Reheated kouign-amann. This one has more buttery flavor than the croissant. The caramel and butter are pronounced. The highlight, canelé. The level of crispiness is moderate. Well, it's a bit crispy... I prefer a harder, crispier texture. The taste is good. Despite not thinking of it as a must-have, the fact that you can enjoy a variety of items at an affordable price is great, so I would consider revisiting the store. [Total bill] 4 mini canelés @142, 5 mini croissants @161, 2 kouign-amann @155, Total @494 (tax included).

At the bakery shop Johan in Mitsukoshi, they sell small-sized baked goods and bread by weight. I wanted to try the petit size Kouign-amann, but often missed it as it gets sold out by evening. This time, I visited specifically for it and ended up buying various items. It's great for someone like me who loves to try different things in small portions. The petit Kouign-amann was a bit moist since it was a rainy day. I should have reheated it, but couldn't resist and ate it as it is. Still, it was delicious. I hope to buy it on a less humid day next time! The petit Gateau au Fromage had a proper crust even though it was small, and the cheesecake was firm. The petit Galette Bretonne was easy to eat without spilling, unlike the regular one. The Dauphinois (seasonal) had a quite dark caramel inside, but the small size made it not too bitter and quite tasty.

- Mini Chocolate Croissant 35 yen/each It was delicious with chocolate rolled in the center. - Dofinwa 186 yen/2 pieces A baked snack filled with nuts, similar to a cookie. It's not too heavy and just the right amount. - Gateau Fromage 133 yen/2 pieces A small baked cheesecake with a nice tartness. The crust is crispy and delicious. The taste is good for the price. It's a shame they didn't have the Lemon Tart, maybe it was a spring/summer limited item?

The lemon meringue cake is delicious with a tangy lemon flavor on top of a buttery cake. It is high-quality for the price. The cheese tart has a delicious tangy cheese flavor, and the tart base is crispy and tasty. Even though it's small, it's a solid cheesecake. I wish the expiration date was not the next day because I would have bought more. Since they are sold by the gram, it would be fun to bring a variety of flavors to gatherings and events.

- Tart au Citron: Moist with plenty of butter in the dough, icing is also delicious. Will definitely order again. - Tartlet Fromage: The tart base is crunchy and delicious. Will order again. - Galette Bretonne: Also delicious, but not significantly different from other places. Probably won't order again. - Petit Kouign Amann: The crispy part was tasty. It might have been even more delicious if properly reheated. Total cost for 2 Citron, 2 Fromage, 1 Galette, 1 Kouign Amann was 498 yen including tax. The expiration date is the next day.

We had a takeout breakfast this morning. Both of us were satisfied with the fluffy texture. In the first picture, there are eggs, bacon, and "???" which is actually the bottom of the bread. Our pop-up toaster doesn't fit Yamagata bread. We got some popular corn bread from Marche du Petit Fleur Joanne, but there was a long line. We passed on it and bought walnut bread and thick hard toast instead. The walnut bread was too thick for our liking, but we haven't tried the hard toast yet. We will have it for breakfast tomorrow.

The best way to satisfy your hunger is to take the Romance Car back home. I've been feeling exhausted lately, so I couldn't resist getting on board. I bought these bite-sized treats at Ginza Mitsukoshi to curb my cravings. The galette has a crunchy texture with a buttery taste. The cheese is rich and indulgent in just one bite, making you feel like you've enjoyed a whole cheesecake. The canelé is also small but packed with a crispy exterior and a moist interior, giving you a satisfying experience all at once. Perfect for a quick snack.

The Petit Four specialty corner attached to Joaan in the basement of Ginza Mitsukoshi. It started with mini croissants, but when I peeked in after a long time, I found that the variety had increased again! Here are the ones I lined up: - Mini Canneles 200g: I learned that Canneles can be frozen, so I got a little extra. About 16 pieces in 200g. Even though they are small, they are still authentic Canneles. The crispy outer layer has a nice burnt flavor, while the inside is a chewy custard. They return to their original state when naturally defrosted, so it's convenient to freeze them in sets of 4 for snacks. - Petit Kouign-Amann 4 pieces: This is the first time I've seen this. It seems to be about 5 pieces in 100g, so I bought 4 pieces. So about 80g. It's crispy, rich in butter, and the caramel on the back is crunchy, which I love. I was surprised that all the ones I bought this time could fit on a plate, yet it was less than 1000 yen including tax. The taste is great, the price is reasonable, and it's the best for a snack. Thank you for the meal!
