It provides enough tea for 3 cups, to be savored carefully.

Fashionable cafe, Yoku Moku. I was actually looking forward to trying their creme brulee-style pancakes, but unfortunately they were taking a break for a while... I'll save that for next time. Instead, I tried their seasonal sweets. The shop isn't crowded, but it always feels full. The interior is clean with a calm atmosphere, and the staff are friendly. The sweets were delicious and I left very satisfied.

I hurried to visit here again this year because the natural ice is running out. Shaved ice made with Nikko's natural ice. Since I was sitting on the terrace, when I poured the syrup, it melted instantly because the syrup was close to room temperature (tears). However, the matcha syrup is mildly sweet with a hint of bitterness. The high-quality ice melts smoothly on the tongue. The mochi is chewy and delicious. I'm glad I made it just in time.

I received a gift from a business partner, which includes 14 Cigare cookies, 9 Double Orange chocolates, 8 Sablé au Thé cookies, and 10 Double Fraises chocolates. It's not only delicious, but also the Yoku Moku tin is a nice touch! These are the best sweets that are enjoyable both while eating and after finishing them.

From Tokyo Metro Omotesando Station A5 exit, it takes about a 5-minute walk to reach the Yoku Moku Aoyama Main Store. While moving from Nezu Museum, I took a short break at the Blue Brick Lounge, a striking blue building also known for its cool atmosphere. I ordered an iced cafe latte drink and was pleasantly surprised when a cigar was included, which made me happy. The cafe latte had a rich coffee base and was delicious. The space is divided into a courtyard surrounded by a shop on the left and a cafe on the right. The exterior wall facing the street is adorned with impressive blue tiles imported from Italy. The only downside was that the chatter of the ladies echoed in the space, making it difficult to relax or clear my thoughts. Unfortunately, I had forgotten my earphones that day, so I recommend bringing them along when visiting. I hope they bring back the Cigare Ice Cream, a cigar-shaped cookie ice cream that is a signature item at Yoku Moku. Thank you for the meal. ❤️

We made a reservation for lunch with four female colleagues at a restaurant that costs around 3000 yen on a regular day. It was a bit hot, so we decided to sit on the open terrace. We were welcomed with a sip of iced tea, which was delicious and made me want to drink more. We started with a salmon and cheese mille-feuille appetizer. The cheese was rich, and I wished I could have had wine with it, but I had work afterwards, so I couldn't. The seafood cold basil pasta was refreshing and perfect for summer. For dessert, we had mousse, jelly, sorbet with meringue on the side. And to top it off, we had cigars with our after-dinner drinks! It was a casual and enjoyable experience.

A classic cigar series with layers of cigar dough infused with matcha aroma. The crispy texture with a refreshing aftertaste, balanced with rich and soft matcha cream. Although it's double matcha, the nuances in the dough and cream are different, which is really nice.

I visited the restaurant attracted by the lunch course with cherry blossoms♡ The dishes looked really beautiful on Instagram, so for appetizers... I had natural cherry snapper and rapeseed marinated salad, barley and new onion salad, warm cabbage soup, Parmantier pasta, tomato cream with migrating crab and green asparagus, aged ricotta cheese and lemon scent dessert, citrus sherbet, coffee or tea. Overall, the taste was light and the portions were small. It may appeal to women, but I think most people would find it unsatisfying. The terrace was mostly filled with foreigners drinking champagne while having their meal, so it might be just right if you drink while eating. Maybe if I had chosen a course with a main dish, I would have felt full... I think they were considerate of me not being able to eat a lot when making the reservation. By the way, why are foreign children so cute? I want one too at home（´-`）.｡oO Anyway, the stylish building, beautiful dishes, and the wind making my hair messy made for a picturesque scene. Even for a flat-faced Japanese person like me, it was a feast. Thank you for the meal♫

Visited the popular Western confectionery shop "YOKUMOKU" in Aoyama. Established in 1969, this long-standing store is known for its signature item "Cigare" which can be seen in department stores everywhere. I tried the "Sanct Bijou" (¥1458), which is a rare treat from "YOKUMOKU" other than their Cigare and cookies. It felt exciting to come across such a unique product at the main store. It had a slightly decorated financier-like appearance. The seasonal limited edition orange tea had a good balance of both orange and tea flavors, with just the right amount of sweetness that didn't overpower them. I really felt the strength of "YOKUMOKU" through this experience.

When it comes to Nocknock, it's a staple in various department store confectionery sections, but I happened to discover that there was a café. Since the indoor seating was full, I used the terrace seating. It was nice to be welcomed with a welcome drink, giving it a special feel. I took a break with some tea and a cigar. There was an art exhibition area at the back of the shop, and it was a wonderful café where you could see Picasso's work for free.

I liked this cafe and their desserts and cakes were delicious, so this time I ordered a Christmas cake for the first time. I forgot to take a picture, but I will list the ingredients. The size was only for 4-6 people and cost around 5,000 yen. When we actually divided it, it was quite large and half of it was just right for four adults. Unfortunately, the cake didn't suit my taste as the cream left a film on my tongue and made me feel heavy. I liked their milk crepe, so I thought the cream would be fine, but maybe I was mistaken or the Christmas cake was a special version. Some people may come seeking this cake, but personally, since my family is often small in number, I think it would be better to make the cake smaller and improve the quality. I will refrain from ordering this cake again, but the cafe is lovely and the main store has various limited edition items, so I look forward to visiting again.

After eating eel on December 23, 2022, I felt like having some sweets, so I visited Yoku Moku Aoyama Main Store at 12:50. The adjacent takeout Yoku Moku had entry restrictions. I asked one of the staff members about dining in, and they guided me to the seating area. A tall handsome male staff member assisted me. Terrace seating was available and I was seated there promptly. There was a large heater, so it wasn't too cold. As expected, there were only female customers or couples. I felt a bit out of place being a middle-aged man dining alone. I ordered the French toast with ice cream set for 1540 yen and a milk tea for 550 yen. The tea arrived in about five minutes, and it came with a complimentary cigarette.

Did you know that you can enjoy dinner at the Yoku Moku Aoyama Main Store? The theme is "fusion of sweets and dishes," with appetizers and mains that are cute and beautiful, resembling sweets. You can choose between tea pairing or alcohol pairing, so you can enjoy it even when you're not drinking alcohol.

Lunch visit. Had to wait a bit as the restaurant was full. Chose the lasagna from the menu. Drink, soup, main course, post-meal tea, and cigar service were all good. Great value for money, so I bought some souvenirs on the way out. The lasagna took 15 minutes to bake. Would like to visit again on a day when I have more time. The location with a courtyard and blue brick walls was very soothing.

Located near Omotesando Station, I had passed by this restaurant many times but finally decided to give it a try. The clientele ranged from solo business people to elegant ladies, and the atmosphere inside was on the mature side. They have terrace seating which is perfect for this season, and the restaurant has plenty of seats so it's great for dropping by without a reservation. I tried the seasonal lunch course for ¥3,080, which featured fresh vegetables and ingredients to fully enjoy the flavors of the season. Appetizer: Carpaccio of bonito wrapped in prosciutto with mustard, dried persimmon. This dish was a delightful mix of flavors with raspberry sauce, fromage blanc, and a lace of bamboo charcoal. Pasta: Rigatoni with cocoa-flavored ragu sauce made with pork from Joshu Seseragi. The cocoa-flavored ragu sauce was delicious, and the addition of chestnuts gave it a touch of autumn. Dessert: Crepe roll with sweet potatoes and purple potatoes. This dessert was filled with the flavors of autumn, combining sweet potato and purple potato paste with poached pears rolled in crepe dough, served with rich caramel ice cream. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience with a taste of the season. Coffee or tea was included with the course.

I go to a nearby hair salon, so it's perfect for a solo lunch. The prices are reasonable, and the service from the Yoku Moku staff is excellent. The taste is consistently good, making it a convenient and reliable option. Today, I was lucky to get my favorite seat by the window, but the seats in the back on the way to the restroom feel a bit awkward...

Yokumoku's Cigar Matcha is fantastic. It's a dessert that looks like a cigar, with just the right balance of bitterness and sweetness from the matcha. I received it as a souvenir this time, but it's perfect for personal use or as a gift for someone else!

It may be a bit pretentious for those who are concerned about Omotesando prices, even though the atmosphere is nice for having tea time outside. The souffle is delicate and well-crafted in taste, but it's on the pricier side, so I didn't feel fully satisfied for the wait. This is more of a place to go with female friends rather than with a date, as the portion sizes are smaller. However, if I were a man, I would consider this a good spot to grab a bite before dinner and spend some time with the ladies, especially since they also serve alcohol.

I bought a special cream puff from the Aoyama store at the Cookie Charm Exhibition on the 9th floor festival square of Hankyu. The nuts scattered on top of the puff, the cream inside, and the perfect balance of sweetness made it delicious. It was satisfying with a good amount of volume. Thank you for the meal.

Yokumoku has stores all over the country, so it's not that rare, but if you say Aoyama Main Store, I thought I'd give it a try. The cafe was full with people waiting. So, I went to the takeout store and bought 3 boxes of Petite Chocolat Cigare, which is chocolate-covered cigar-shaped cookies, with 4 pieces in each box. The larger ones were sold out. If it's for Valentine's Day, chocolate-covered is good, but I still think the plain Cigare cookies are delicious. However, the chocolate-covered ones are also good.

I went to have a late lunch. I ordered the salmon galette, which came with a complimentary cigarette (apparently, it comes with any order). However, despite the higher price, the taste was very bland. The skin was tasteless, the salmon and sauce lacked salt, and there was a raw smell of salmon and egg that spread throughout the mouth. Honestly, it was not delicious at all. Maybe it's better to go for the sweets instead.
