Shopping at Franck Muller. Even for someone like me, a high-class individual, Franck Muller is just everyday use. When you think of Franck Muller, you think of... um... well... It's like, when you equip it, you get resistance to fire breath... (definitely not true). If you advance to places like Longadeceo or Mount Snow, can you buy it? By this point, just having high defense is not enough for armor performance... Right. When I hear Franck Muller, I, a clueless nobody, have no idea what they sell. The sound of the name made me think of high-performance armor, but... Oh, I see. It's watches, right? A brand famous for watches... Well, the armor category wasn't completely off the mark (way off). So, I went to "Franck Muller Patisserie." Yes, the patisserie that Franck Muller has. It's extravagant and luxurious, as expected from a high-end shop. ...but I'm talking without even knowing what brand it is. The shop is located inside Ginza SIX. Not in the typical sweets section of a department store, but on the 2nd floor of the brand area. Right next to the Franck's shop area. Quite a challenge for a low-class person like me... I managed to endure and visited. The shop has only two showcases, giving off a very simple vibe. The polite and elegant customer service is just like in a brand shop. They sell pound cakes, cookies, and other baked sweets. Chocolates, marrons glaces, and more. It's definitely pricey. A single marron glace costs almost 1000 yen. A pound cake costs almost 10,000 yen. Ouch. The pound cake looked very sparkly and delicious, but it was a bit out of my reach. I chose a few items that I could afford. Here's what I ate: - Marron Glace Epice: A marron glace that costs almost 2000 yen per piece. The cinnamon and cardamom give it a spicy aroma. The creamy texture with chunks of chestnuts is truly top-quality. - Florentin: A box of 6 small pieces. The caramelized almonds shine beautifully on top. The pastry is crispy, with a strong sweetness but light. - Black Tea Cookies: A box of 4 cookies. You can see the tea leaves on the surface. The rich aroma and flavor of black tea are evident. The texture is crispy and light. It can be enjoyed without any moisture. By the way, if you spend over 3000 yen, you get a novelty bag as a gift. This will probably be the only Franck Muller bag I'll ever own... Thank you for the meal!
