I wanted to have some delicious tea, so I went to Mariage Freres Ginza Main Store near the intersection of Ginza 4-chome. It was a weekday evening and quite crowded, but I managed to get a seat by the window. I ordered the Lemon Cream Tart Catsurton. When I checked the cakes in the showcase next to the stairs on the second floor, the Lemon Cream Tart looked delicious, so I decided to order it. It was a piece of tart with a meringue on top that looked delicious with its golden brown color. When I tasted it, it was fluffy with a strong sweetness. The lemon cream part was very sour with a refreshing aftertaste. The tart base was crispy and had a fragrant aroma. When I asked for a recommendation for tea, I was suggested the Catsurton Darjeeling blend. It had a tea color with a refreshing taste and a moderate astringency.

As a tea specialty store, there were so many options to choose from that I was having a hard time deciding what to order. However, the staff recommended the Marco Polo tea and the fruit tart, both of which were delicious. With such a wide variety of teas and food items on the menu, I think I'll slowly work my way through trying everything. If you love tea, I highly recommend paying a visit to this place.

My grandfather and grandmother are both doing well♡ I hope they stay healthy forever ╰(*´︶`*)╯w But... my grandmother recently fell ill with enteritis... I'm worried... My grandfather is playing tennis in this scorching heat... He's a monster...w I'm worried he might suddenly collapse from heatstroke... Earl Grey French Blue is a scent that my grandmother loves. It feels sharp and elegant (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾I'm sorry! But it's truly a tea that soothes and relaxes♪ However, I was surprised to see that tea utensils are skyrocketing in price! Some items have doubled in price since September... (T-T) The tea utensil Saint Petersburg costs 88,000 yen... (@_@) Seriously! Can't the exchange rate be improved somehow...? This way, we won't be able to travel abroad! At least we can enjoy delicious food domestically...w Respect for the Aged Day... That's right, let's take them to an eel restaurant next time (^з^)-☆

In 1854, the tea specialty store "Mariage Frères" in Ginza, established by the Mariage family, began creating a tea culture in the Lower Marais district of France. The store has a shop on the first floor and a tea salon on the second floor. In Paris, there was even a tea museum attached to the store. You can choose from about 600 different flavored teas. Surprisingly, all the cakes were sold out! The only baked goods left were fig and matcha financiers and yuzu madeleines. Let's try again next time. Let's go with the signature flavor of Mariage Frères, the rooibos tea version of "Rouge Provence". [Tea] "Rouge Provence" tea leaves inspired by the Provence region in southern France. Berry fruits, lavender, roses, and more. This tea combines a subtly sweet berry aroma with the sophisticated taste of rooibos tea. Perhaps because it was served cold, I didn't really feel the lavender scent as much. If served hot, the flavor might change again. The softly spoken staff in their pure white suits match the elegant interior, allowing you to enjoy a graceful atmosphere.

I visited the main store in Ginza. The main store seemed to have a slightly larger sales space. I wonder if the product lineup is different? I didn't look that closely, but I received recommendations for matcha tart and rooibos tea. I was having a meeting, so I couldn't carefully choose from the menu... but when I expressed my preferences, they quickly recommended something, which made me happy. The matcha tart had a nice balance of crispy and moist crust, and the cream part was rich and delicious. I was happy that it wasn't too sweet. The flavor of the rooibos tea was also good, with a pleasant aroma, and the meeting went smoothly in a happy mood. The cozy atmosphere of the store with greenery visible from any window in Ginza is also something I love. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

The retro Western-style cafe in Ginza was stylish and luxurious. However, as someone who wanted to indulge a bit, I found it to be a bit pricey. The combination of cake and tea cost around 3000 yen, similar to the price of a meal at a more affordable cafe like Afuri. The cake, priced at 1400 yen, wasn't particularly large, so it felt more like a snack. As a commoner, it's not a place I could afford to visit often, but I would love to come here for a more elegant experience if I ever become wealthy.

I made a reservation for Saturday at 13:30. When I arrived at the restaurant, there was a line of about 10 people, so it is recommended to make a reservation, especially on weekends and holidays. Reservations were for set courses only, so I ordered the lunch course with a cake set. The amount was just right after eating the cake! All the dishes used tea, and they were delicious. Apart from the convenience of making a reservation, in terms of cost-performance and taste balance, it might be okay to just order the cake. But for tea lovers, it's a favorite place so I will definitely go again! Order details: - Lunch course with appetizer, sautéed sea bream, tea: Marco Polo - Matcha and raspberry tart

I gifted a birthday celebration to the street shop "Mariage Frères" on Ginza Suzuran Street. Founded in Paris in 1854, this is a French-style tea specialty store. If you love tea, you must have heard of this famous French brand in the heart of Ginza. The world of exceptional tea spreads inside the store. I chose the gift of tea and tea jam (3,780 yen including tax) with confidence. I wonder if they will be pleased with it?

I love Mariage Freres tea♡ I'm a coffee lover, but I also love tea just as much✨ And when it comes to tea, it's Mariage Freres. I had tea at Mariage Freres Ginza main store!! The atmosphere of the store is stylish and wonderful♡ You can also dine in at the Ginza main store, so I ordered a cake too☆ The blueberry cake was light and rich, and incredibly delicious!

Snack ■ Casablanca ¥1,320 ■ Matcha Tartlet ¥1,540 Established in Paris in 1854, this French tea specialty store offers a wide variety of teas from 35 countries, including flavored teas and original blends. The tea menu is impressive with 600 different types of teas. I finally visited the Ginza main store. There is always a long line at the Ginza main store, but on weekdays, you can enter relatively smoothly without waiting. I was surprised when I entered the store as it had three floors and a considerable capacity. Despite this, there is always a long line, indicating its popularity. Instead of a flavored green tea, I ordered the "Casablanca," which is a blend of Moroccan mint green tea and Sicilian bergamot black tea. Although it looks like a regular iced tea, it has a strong aroma of mint and bergamot, creating a very elegant and refreshing flavored tea. It was incredibly delicious. The large glass that it was served in was also a nice touch. I paired it with the "Matcha Tartlet," which had a tart crust filled with a flavorful matcha bavarois mousse and a caramel biscuit inside. This cake is pricey but of top quality and delicious, making it worth the cost. We ordered one flavored tea and one cake each, and the total bill for two people was ¥5,720. The only downside is that it is quite expensive.

Every time I go, I am impressed and moved by the extensive knowledge of the staff about tea. They must be a tea sommelier. They also explain the cakes in detail. The tea is top quality, but I think the staff is top-notch as well. This is what a professional is. They also serve plenty of tea, so the satisfaction is worth more than the price.

The Mariage in Ginza is a three-story building with a cafe on the second and third floors. I had a tart with berries on top and matcha filling inside. The balance of flavors was perfect, not too strong on the berries and with a nice matcha taste. I visited around noon on a weekday and the third-floor seating was empty, giving a relaxed atmosphere.

I visited for lunch and waited in line for about 30 minutes. It seems that there are certain restrictions in place, such as not being able to make reservations in advance or needing to order lunch at specific times to make a reservation. The atmosphere inside the restaurant and the staff are very nice. There is a wide variety of tea available, and they can recommend tea leaves based on the season of arrival, so you can consult with them if you're unsure.

This summer, I decided to drink this! The blue tea is very delicious! Blue Summer? I think that's the name?? The desserts are also flavored with tea and are elegant and very delicious!! ⭐️5⭐️ I want to visit again. I love it so much that I don't want to tell anyone. ⭐️4⭐️ I will recommend this place if asked. ⭐️3⭐️ I might go again. ⭐️2⭐️ Hmm, I would prefer to try a different restaurant. ⭐️1⭐️ Personally, I do not recommend it. Instagram @tokyo_gourmet_yokutaberuko. On my food blog, I only introduce restaurants with a rating of 4 or 5 stars on Tabelog.

"Mariahju Fureru" is a tea and tea-related products specialty store located on Ginza Suzuran Street. The store, with its origins in France, has been a longstanding establishment since the 17th century. The cafe space is located on the 2nd and 3rd floors, while the 1st floor sells tea and tea ware. You can find everything related to tea at this store. The lunch menu is also delicious, making it a great choice for a leisurely day off. I personally enjoy the "Marco Polo" tea, which was one of the first to be used in Japan Airlines' first-class cabins. I visited the store early in the morning to enjoy a warm cup of tea. It can get crowded during weekends, but weekday mornings are a good time to visit. The staff are knowledgeable and can help you choose from the wide variety of tea leaves available. The Maro Polo tea has a sweet and sour berry aroma, with a hint of floral notes. The tea itself is refreshing with a clean finish and no bitterness. There are no tea leaves in the pot, but the tea is still delightful. Thank you for the wonderful experience."

A tea specialty shop right in the middle of Ginza. It may be a bit pricey, but the quantity is generous! If you can enjoy that elegant time, it might actually be inexpensive! If you want to relax and enjoy the atmosphere, definitely check it out! I will definitely visit again! Thank you for the meal!

Thanks to my recent obsession with afternoon tea, I finally visited Mariage Freres. I went with a friend on a holiday and the interior of the shop was so cute! It's a perfect place for a date! When I opened the tea menu, there were so many different tea options! Since everyone I was with liked black tea, I chose a Chinese tea. The tea was served in a large pot, with quite a lot of it. We shared and tried each one, and they all had such unique flavors. It was really interesting!

On weekends, this cafe is always crowded, but surprisingly calm on weekday afternoons. The first floor is a boutique, while the second and third floors are cafe areas. This time, we went to the third floor for some sweets. All the staff were male, which I didn't notice until this visit. When it comes to Mariage Freres, it's all about Marco Polo tea! It's a must-buy tea when traveling to France. This time, we asked for another recommendation and got "Bolero." We chose the chocolate cake and lemon tart from the selection of about 6 cakes. The tea was served in a pot with plenty to go around. Comparing the two teas, Bolero had a sweeter and more floral aroma. I really liked it. The chocolate cake had a nice balance with a hint of blackcurrant acidity. The lemon tart was a classic type, a bit on the sweet side. The total cost was around 3000 yen per person, which is quite reasonable for the quality of tea. The atmosphere here allows time to flow slowly, and we had an elegant and leisurely time. I would love to try their lunch menu as well!

You can enjoy a relaxing tea time in a classy and stylish salon. When I arrived at 11:25 on Sunday, there were about 10 people waiting in line at the shop. It seems that there are many reservations on weekends. The prices are a bit high, but you can enjoy a beautiful afternoon tea set, lunch, and exquisite cakes with carefully selected teas. You can get about 3 cups of tea, so it feels like a good deal. I ordered a sandwich, which was just okay. The cakes were more delicious.

I usually only use this place for tea and cake, but this time I made a reservation to try their lunch as well. As always, the tea and cake were very satisfying, and the lunch was delicious too, with dishes like duck steak using tea-based sauce. There are still many types of tea I haven't tried yet, so I would like to continue using this place in the future.

I made a reservation for lunch and visited the restaurant. When making a reservation, it is necessary to order from the lunch menu. The lunch menu can be either from the main menu or the lunch tea menu. I tried to order from the afternoon tea menu on the day of the visit, but was told that it is not part of the lunch menu so I couldn't order it. If you don't have a reservation, you can order anything all day. Since it's not crowded on weekdays, I thought I could just order what I like without a reservation. But it seems that there are long lines on weekends, so it might be better to make a reservation if you are okay with the lunch menu. I was not interested in the main dish on the lunch tea menu, so I chose the scallop rosti from the main menu. All the dishes here are said to have a tea flavor. The price including tea is around 3500-3800 yen. The lunch menu comes with a pot of tea, and you can choose from hundreds of types of tea within a certain price range. It's a bit overwhelming, so I went with the recommended Paris Ginza. You can choose your favorite dessert from the cake wagon for an additional fee. I added it for 1265 yen. It was a seasonal tart with figs, raspberries, and blueberries on top. The fruits may change depending on the season. It was beautiful and delicious! Most people were enjoying cake and tea. The size was large but it was gone in no time. You can also take the cake home! The restroom is on the 3rd floor. The 3rd floor was also a lovely floor. I think it's a wonderful space where you can enjoy food, tea, and cake in a relaxed manner.
