I found it by chance while passing by. It's quite expensive, but I want to try it. Tronia Semifreddo Cake for 1,620 yen. Enjoy it frozen. The surface is shiny. The caramelized part is crispy. The cream inside is definitely like ice cream. It's delicious. You can be satisfied with a small amount, so enjoy it for a long time.

Lately, there are many spring-themed sweets available, including limited edition sakura desserts. However, I decided to try something that is available all the time and purchased the Semifreddo Cake (¥1620) from Sucré Bijou at Mitsukoshi. The cake was frozen and came with dry ice for me to take home. The Semifreddo Cake is creamy when thawed, and I recommend enjoying it semi-thawed. The layers include a crispy caramelized top, a soft sponge, a crunchy almond nougatine, and a smooth cream blend of whipped cream and custard cream. The cake was rich and had a variety of textures, making it a delicious treat.

On a certain holiday, before heading home after walking around the city, a stubborn old man stopped by a Western-style confectionery shop located in the basement of Mitsukoshi. The shop was next to a busy bakery, with dried sweets at the entrance and colorful confections displayed in glass showcases at the back, with prices that made the old man's eyes widen. On this day, he chose to purchase the "Fresh Guimauve Green Apple Lime (270 yen)" from the menu, considering his budget. Taking a bite, he exclaimed at the sourness of the lime and the unique texture of the green apple. He then tried the "Fresh Guimauve Mango (270 yen)" with its vibrant colors and found it to be intense and acidic. Lastly, he bought the "Lip Caramel (378 yen)" based solely on its appearance, and found a mix of chocolate and caramel inside. Although he felt the prices were a bit high, he enjoyed the experience and would consider trying their cakes next time.

Light snack use. Visited alone. Some thoughts: - Located in the basement of Mitsukoshi Sapporo Store. - Bought a round baked confectionery. - Forgot the product name. - Paid with credit card. - Covered generously with sugar, very sweet. - It was delicious.

I had raspberry, plain, and passion fruit flavors of macarons. They were all delicious. I also had some tea. It was sweet and tasty.

Visited around 12:00 on Sunday, had bought a cake once before, searched for reviews on Eat Log but couldn't find any. Stopped by on a whim and tried a frozen "semifreddo cake" (1,500 yen + tax) as a souvenir for family. Carried it for about 30 minutes, then left it in the fridge for 3 hours before eating. Cutting it with a knife was difficult due to the hard caramelized topping, which ended up looking like shattered glass until I got the hang of it. Is there a trick to cutting it smoothly? Despite the struggle, I managed to cut and eat it. The center was cold while the outer part melted in my mouth, and the bitterness of the caramelized topping added a nice touch. It was a unique experience, and I think there were other flavors available too (I didn't pay much attention). I'll try those next time.

I ordered pralines in yuzu and lime flavors, macarons in raspberry and chocolate flavors, financiers, and madeleines for home consumption. For gift-giving, I chose an 8-piece set of truffle cakes. I had the opportunity to taste the truffle cakes, and despite not containing any alcohol, they were rich in flavor and satisfying to eat. Plus, they can be stored in the freezer, which was a big selling point for me as the recipient loves items that can be frozen (laughs). Moreover, the price was relatively affordable. The truffle cakes come in an 8-piece set for ¥1080 including tax, making them a great value for gifts. The yuzu and lime pralines each had their respective flavors infused into the ganache. The yuzu praline had a spicy bitterness from the yuzu, blending nicely with the sweet chocolate on the outside, resulting in a slightly bitter yet light sweetness. The lime praline had a noticeable tartness from the lime, combined with the milk chocolate ganache to create a soft and refreshing yet flavorful taste. I particularly enjoyed the citrus pralines, as they matched my preferences. The praline chocolates are also priced at less than ¥300 per piece, making them easily accessible as individual purchases.

In January 2016, I visited a very stylish confectionery shop in the Mitsukoshi department store basement. The main store is located in Ginza, and they are famous for their candy ring confections. The shop has a luxurious and fashionable vibe, similar to a jewelry store, so I would usually just walk past it. However, I fell in love with the adorable animal cookies at first sight and ended up buying them just for their looks. When asked if it was a gift, I couldn't help but say "yes," so they wrapped it up with a ribbon for me. Sorry, it was actually for myself (laughs). I also bought salted caramel baumkuchen and petit truffle cakes. The taste is like standard Western sweets, simply delicious. The cookies are more for display than eating, they are so cute.

On January 25, 2015, I went shopping at Mitsukoshi. I love this department store because I am familiar with the parking lot. I walked around, looking at various things and ended up in the basement where I found a beautiful candy ring. I couldn't take my eyes off it, and the store clerk kindly explained the details to me. It was so lovely and I really wanted it, but hesitated because it cost 2700 yen. When I asked how long it would last as a decoration, they said about 10 years. I then asked what would happen after 10 years, and they said it would fade. I made up my mind and decided to make it a part of my favorite collection. My only complaint is that the candy ring was not perfectly straight and couldn't be fixed. I was told there was nothing that could be done about it. Since I was going to use it as a decoration, I chose the one that was neatly inserted, regardless of the color. I wish the display case was a bit more stylish. I am now trying to figure out where to display it in my collection, even though I am running out of space. It's a bit cluttered, but I am satisfied. With Valentine's Day coming up, this would make a perfect gift for women on White Day!

I bought a salted caramel cake as a souvenir for my family when I returned home. It is sold frozen and is best eaten after being taken out of the freezer for 2-3 hours. There are whole cakes for 1260 yen and half-sized cakes for 630 yen available. The cake consists of white chocolate mousse wrapped in caramel-flavored Chiboust cream (a custard and meringue cream), topped with caramelized crepe. The base is a thin sponge cake. The white chocolate mousse is fluffy and slightly sweet. The Chiboust cream is creamy with a rich caramel flavor, and has a hint of saltiness. The crepe covering half of the cake is slightly crunchy from the granulated sugar. It is sweet, slightly bitter, fragrant, and very delicious. Especially the part with the crepe was delicious. Since it is frozen, it is easy to carry around and is a good size for sharing with 4-5 people. It was a convenient item to use as a souvenir.

In June 2012, Sucré Bijou is a French confectionery store that sells confectionery and baked goods. They also sell a semi-freddo cake from the renowned Parisian patisserie Tronia, which was featured in the Michelin Guide Paris. This cake is available at two stores in Paris - Tronia and Sucré. In Japan, it is a limited edition item available at five stores including Ginza Matsuya and Nihonbashi Takashimaya. The store is located in Sapporo Chuo Ward, on the 2nd basement floor of Mitsukoshi Sapporo store. For detailed location, please check on Tabelog. The semi-freddo cake is half frozen and half thawed, making it a perfect treat for hot summers. The Tronia semi-freddo cake has four layers - caramelized top, sponge cake, cream blend with custard and almond nougatine, and another layer of sponge cake. It is recommended to partially thaw the cake before serving for the best taste. The price is 1575 yen. It is a sophisticated and flavorful Parisian dessert that provides a satisfying taste even in small amounts. It pairs well with black iced coffee. The coldness of the semi-freddo cake is perfect for cooling down on hot summer days. It is a treat for ice cream lovers, serving as both a cake and ice cream. Delicious and satisfying.

"Sapporo City Subway Odori Station" is located about a 1-minute walk from the station. For the exact location, please refer to the map on "Tabelog". - Assorted baked sweets - A selection of baked sweets chosen by the shop. The design of the bag varies depending on the event (Christmas, Valentine's Day, White Day, etc.). The baked sweets were of high quality overall and very delicious. The chocolate baked sweets, in particular, were outstanding. I visited around 2 p.m. and almost all products were available.

I was looking around the Mitsukoshi basement for something delicious, and I came across "Salted Caramel" written on a sign. This confection is made by folding cream into two layers and caramelizing the top layer until it's crispy. When you break it with a knife, inside you'll find a salty cream filling. It's quite a generous portion for the price of 1260 yen. I thought it was a great value. It's amazing how there seems to be no limit to the variety of sweets available.

I found this place on Tabelog when looking for a gift to bring to a small gathering at a friend's house. The food had a great volume and was perfect for sharing with everyone. It was a first-time experience for all of us, and we had a great time chatting and enjoying the food together. I often visit the Mitsukoshi underground area, but I had never noticed this place before. It's amazing how the food scene is constantly changing. I am grateful to those who seek out and explore delicious and new things. I usually only think of ice cream when it comes to sweet treats, so I often struggle when deciding on a gift to bring. Tabelog was a lifesaver.

I received this snack as a souvenir, so I'll just upload a photo of it.
