I received a souvenir from Tokyo, which is a chocolate pie from "Coneri Shinagawa." "Coneri" is a specialty pie shop known for its crispy and light pies. In addition to Shinagawa, they also have shops in Shibuya and Nagoya. The chocolate pie is made by folding layers of dough about 1,000 times and baking it, then soaking it with plenty of chocolate. There are three flavors available: Venezuelan cocoa, French milk, and Shizuoka green tea. The Venezuelan cocoa has a nutty aroma and pleasant roasted flavor, with a rich umami taste when you bite into it. The French milk flavor has a hint of saltiness, featuring white chocolate made from milk of cows raised on the French coast. The Shizuoka green tea flavor is described as being able to enjoy a subtle bitterness, typical of matcha sweets. The Venezuelan cocoa and French milk flavors were delicious. The moist and crispy texture goes well with coffee. Thank you for the treat.

●Order Menu: Nagoya Assortment - 1,620 yen ●Impressions: A mix of crispy baked goods with pie crust filled with maple, shrimp tempura, and red bean paste flavors, exclusive to Nagoya. The package features designs of Nagoya's symbol, Nagoya Castle, and the city's flower, the lily, in a cute yellow package. Perfect for treating yourself or as a gift that everyone will enjoy. Personally, I love the red bean paste flavor! ♡

There was a strange field that produced unique white corn with amazing shapes and flavors. I want to use this special corn to make a birthday treat for my friend and to serve as a hospitality dish for Halloween party. Although it's a fictional vegetable, the different flavors would require different cooking methods. I wonder why this corn is available during this season. As for the autumn snack review, I tried a sample at Ecute Shinagawa and found it delicious, so I bought some as souvenirs. The stick pie had a hint of alcohol and was subtly sweet, making it easy to eat. It was individually wrapped and had a pleasant aroma when opened, with a crispy texture reminiscent of candied chestnuts.

The chocolate seeps into the depths of the pie, creating a moist and crispy texture. There are 8 types of pies and 6 types of dips available. I learned about the pie brand from Harukado, famous for its eel pie. I tried the Mixed Berry flavor, which had a sweet and tangy berry taste.

For those who are not particular about food, I was looking for a safe souvenir to purchase at Shinagawa Station. I came across this new store and tried their stick pies as samples. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste! It exceeded my expectations. The pies are made with kneaded flour, which sets them apart from store-bought pies. They are not incredibly delicious, but they are definitely worth buying. I bought some for myself and have returned a few times. I hope this store gains more recognition as they have limited edition flavors as well. I will visit again!

I visited the Takanawa Gateway Station because I saw in the "Takanawa Gateway Station Area Strolling Map" that there were limited edition products available. I received a special package commemorating the opening of the new station. The package included the following: ・Assorted set of 3 varieties Takanawa Gateway 1512 yen I enjoyed the milk tea at home. The cylindrical package was interesting as you had to twist the top and bottom in opposite directions to open it. The set included 4 bars of Venezuelan cocoa, 3 bars of French milk chocolate, and 3 bars of Shizuoka matcha. The long pastry sticks were generously filled with chocolate, with a ratio of pastry to chocolate that seemed to be 1:1. All three varieties were delicious, but I liked the Venezuelan cocoa the most. They had a shelf life of just over 7 weeks. The package for the "Assorted set of 4 varieties Spring" looked lovely and I also received a sample of mixed berries which was deliciously sweet and sour. I am curious about the seasonal limited edition "Gotenyama Sakura" as well. These unique individually wrapped snacks would make a great gift.

Shinagawa Station, where all Shinkansen trains stop. It has become very convenient for those working in the western part of Tokyo and traveling back to the Tokai, Kansai, and Sanyo regions. Shinagawa Konan Exit gives a modern city vibe with tall buildings lining up quickly. Here is a wonderful souvenir from Shinagawa. These are handcrafted by skilled pie artisans. The secret to their deliciousness lies in their kneaded flour and carefully selected ingredients. The kneaded flour is a unique blend of domestically produced wheat flour and soy-based salt-free fermented bean flour. This brings out the flavor of the flour itself, enhancing the deliciousness of the pie. Seasonal limited ingredients should not be underestimated. Original Stick Pie - 1512 yen. It is an assortment of chocolate stick pies. I had the opportunity to taste them. There are 4 flavors, all of them are moist yet crispy to eat and delicious. - Venezuelan cacao: 3 sticks. It has a gentle aroma reminiscent of nuts. You can enjoy the bitter comfort of cacao, giving off an adult atmosphere. - Marron Glace: 3 sticks. Autumn is associated with chestnuts. Wrapped in the scent of autumn colors, you can enjoy a slightly luxurious experience. - French milk: 2 sticks. It has a dignified flavor of French milk, enveloped in a noble atmosphere. - Shizuoka green tea: 2 sticks. Deep green matcha. The elegant aroma of Shizuoka matcha is very calming. You can experience an adult atmosphere. The price is tax-inclusive.

Visited in the evening on a regular day. A pie specialty store that recently opened in the ecute area of Shinagawa Station. I was looking for a small snack to bring as a souvenir, and after trying the samples, I decided to purchase some. Among the various flavors and sizes available, this time I chose two seemingly popular products. They were long and thin pies individually packaged, with 6 pieces in each box. I bought 2 boxes of each: - French milk-based pie @756 yen - Venezuelan cocoa pie @756 yen Both pies were crispy and light. Looking at the ingredients, margarine was used instead of butter. The milk and cocoa flavors were sweet but not too overpowering. Personally, I thought they had a perfect balance. The French milk flavor was a bit hard to distinguish, but the milky white chocolate had an elegant finish. The Venezuelan cocoa pie had a more adult-like chocolate taste. While pies are usually similar, this one might stand out as the best among them. It's nothing extraordinary, but it's like the top tier of ordinary. The casual and easy-to-eat feel was also nice. I found out that it was created by Shunkado, known for their eel pies, which also has a store in Shizuoka. By the way, I'm not a big fan of eel pies, and I couldn't even remember what they tasted like... Maybe I'll give these to a friend who loves eel pies next time? Thank you for the meal!

Shinagawa Station. A stylish pie shop located near the Hachitendo (cream bread) inside the station building "Ekiute Shinagawa South". It is the former location of Kakitane Kitchen. The pies are individually wrapped and shaped like sticks, placed in stylish cases. On a holiday in May 2019, just before 9:30 PM, during the Golden Week holidays, the closing time of Ekiute Shinagawa South changed, and on that day, it closed at 9:30 PM. I arrived just in time before closing. After attending a Kamen Rider event at the Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa's Hiten no Ma, which ended at 9:15 PM, I rushed back to Shinagawa Station, arriving just before closing time. I accidentally made it in time before closing, so I made a purchase. I wouldn't have bought it if I hadn't made it in time. Despite arriving right before closing time, the staff kindly assisted me. The item I ordered was a box of 6 Venezuela cocoa kneaded sticks for 756 yen including tax. I wanted to buy an assortment of matcha flavor and others, but a box of 6 sticks of one flavor was cheaper, so I chose that. If you look closely at the square and long mark of the shop, you will see that it says Shinagawa. When I opened the stylish box and unwrapped the individual packaging, a chocolate scent filled the air. The pie was very moist. Wait...this texture feels familiar...what was it again...? It's Lotte's Pie no Mi! It feels like a super high-end version of Pie no Mi. The chocolate is not too sweet, but not too bitter either. The cocoa flavor lingers pleasantly in the mouth. Even though I don't really understand what Venezuelan cocoa is, I'm sure this is Venezuelan cocoa. Considering that it is only sold at Ekiute Shinagawa South, the stylish packaging, and being a light snack as it is a pie, I think it's not a bad choice as a souvenir from Tokyo.

A few years ago, I received a gift from a friend which included kneaded pie sticks and a tomato-based dip sauce. I remembered that dipping the pie sticks into the sauce was a stylish and delicious combination. I was planning to get off at Shinagawa, so I decided to stop by this new place I had heard about. I didn't end up getting the dip sauce as it wasn't what I was looking for, but I bought the French milk and Shizuoka matcha flavors instead. They come in packs of 6 for 756 yen, with each stick individually wrapped making it convenient for snacking or sharing. As the name suggests, they are crispy and flaky. Personally, I prefer a slightly more moist texture, so I felt like I was eating slightly moist pie sticks. The taste is not too sweet and I could easily munch on them. Lately, I've noticed that the quality of souvenir snacks has been quite high, so I couldn't help but think that these were a bit expensive for what they are.

The cost performance and taste are great, but there is one thing that always bothers me, which is the packaging. The outer box is cute and simple, but the individual packaging is too big compared to the contents. It could be improved by making it smaller, as it feels like it could easily hold 2 or 3 more items.

The cost performance may not be great, but it was delicious. I would be happy to receive it as a souvenir. I received lemon and watermelon, but I preferred the watermelon.

The stick-shaped pie with chocolate inside was amazing. Opening the individual packaging, I was delighted by the fresh fruit scent, which made me feel happy. The box packaging was also colorful and eye-catching, adding to the enjoyable experience.

On a late Saturday night in Tokyo, my wife, eldest daughter, and grandchild returned from their trip. My grandchild handed me a gift saying, "Here, grandpa, a souvenir." Curious, I looked into it and found it was a gourmet item from Tabelog! Well done, my daughter knows me well! We shared the "Stick Pie" from Conerli Shinagawa together. The crispy pastry with chocolate seeping through, a bit chewy too. All of them were delicious, but the best was the one made with Venezuelan cocoa! The balance of sweetness and bitterness in the chocolate is amazing. Next, the refreshing acidity of Setouchi lemon brings a taste of summer. Please bring me more souvenirs next time, even though you're going back to China. I'll be waiting. Thank you for the meal!

*Waiting Time* Omitted for receiving item *Order & Price* Omitted for receiving item *Atmosphere* Omitted for receiving item *Service* Omitted for receiving item *Impression* I found it unusual that it was labeled as Shizuoka-grown matcha instead of Uji matcha. Perhaps because it is from Shizuoka, it had a good balance of sweetness with a unique bitterness and the fragrance of tea, making it delicious. *Expectation* Since it has a strong presence due to its length, I think it would make a nice little gift.

*Waiting time* Omitted due to receiving the item as a gift *Order & Price* Omitted due to receiving the item as a gift *Atmosphere of the shop* Omitted due to receiving the item as a gift *Service* Omitted due to receiving the item as a gift *Impression* The chocolate pie made with Venezuelan cocoa dough is well infused with chocolate. It has a crispy texture while also feeling moist due to the chocolate seeping in. The chocolate is sweet and would be delicious even for children. *Looking forward to* I would like to try the mille-feuille cake next time.

This is a stylish gift with 4 assorted flavors: Autumn, Venezuela cocoa, French milk, Shizuoka green tea, and Marron Glace. Made with good ingredients, these stick-shaped snacks are easy to eat and crispy. Each flavor has its own unique aroma. They are perfect for enjoying with coffee, tea, or herbal tea as a snack break, and also convenient for small gifts. Thank you for the meal.

The making of pie crust is a craftsman's handiwork. I tried three types of pie: matcha from Shizuoka, milk from France, and cocoa from Venezuela. They are moist yet light and crispy. Each one has a fluffy and delicious aroma of matcha, milk, and cocoa. They are made with fermented soybean flour without using salt. Thank you for the delicious meal.
