On this day, I visited the areas of Futakotamagawa, Uenomae, and Todoroki. In recent years, there has been a trend of specialization in sweets, with various specialty shops emerging, such as those specializing in fresh cream or cheese sweets. In Tokyo, it is no longer surprising to see shops specializing in the raw materials themselves rather than the finished products. Therefore, a shop specializing in "apple pie" may not seem very unique. However, in such cases, high quality becomes essential. This is where Granny Smith's excels, as their quality is undeniably high. Granny Smith's is a specialty apple pie shop with a strong reputation, with its main store located in Sangenjaya. Over the past few years, they have expanded their presence, and as of December 2021, they have around 10 stores nationwide. I visited their store in Futakotamagawa, located in the depachika (basement food floor) of Takashimaya. Despite being a small space within the depachika, it has a café, which is a nice touch. At Granny Smith's café, the apple pie comes with sauce and ice cream, which is a difference from taking it home. Additionally, each store has its own limited edition apple pie, which adds to the excitement. I tried the following items: - Florentine Apple Pie (Futakotamagawa store limited edition): A caramel cream topped with almond-rich Florentine, with caramel sauce. The crispy exterior and rich sweetness of the Florentine paired well with the caramel cream and ice cream. - Granny Smith's Apple Pie: Made with Granny Smith apples from Nagano prefecture, with a honey orange sauce. The refreshing acidity of the apples and the large apple slices were delightful. - Sweet Potato Apple Pie: Apple pie wrapped in sweet potato and baked, with a raspberry sauce. The sweet potato added a soft and sweet touch, complementing the apple well. - Ginger Caramel Apple Pie (limited edition): A spicy ginger and honey caramel apple pie, with maple syrup sauce. The spicy ginger flavor followed by the sweetness of caramel created an interesting contrast. I focused on trying the limited edition items this time, and each had its own unique and enjoyable characteristics. I particularly liked the Florentine Apple Pie, which is a must-try at the Futakotamagawa store. Thank you for the delicious meal!

*No waiting time* *Order & Price* Pumpkin quiche for 700 yen *Atmosphere of the shop* Omitted *Service* They put it in a cute box and paper bag. *Impression* It is tall and voluminous. The center was full of pumpkin and bacon, while the back was full of apples. I'm not sure if the combination of pumpkin and apples is good, but it was delicious because it wasn't mixed up. *Expectations* It's a quiche that is delicious twice in one go. I would like to try other quiches as well.

There are various types of apple pie available, and you can choose from different sauces (caramel, orange, berry, maple). Each combination works well, so you can enjoy a different flavor every time. For sides, you can choose between vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, and if you opt for no ice cream, you get a $0.60 discount.

Today I was so full that I couldn't even make it to the cake. Even though it's an apple-themed place, I only ordered chai. I wish there was a set with apple pie, but it was only available as a single item for 2000 yen... quite expensive. So I just ended up getting a drink.

I felt like having apple pie, so I decided to visit this shop while taking a walk. It is located on the B1 floor of Takashimaya Tamagawa, so it's convenient to stop by during shopping. However, the seating in the store is limited, so there may be a wait. I wanted to try the standard apple pie, so I chose the French D'Amant as recommended by the staff. It came with a warm apple pie, a choice of one sauce from four options, and cream. You can also choose to add ice cream, which affects the price. Some people were buying it to take away.

Around 16:00, I missed lunch and felt like eating something, so I decided to go into a restaurant. I wanted to order a quiche, but they were sold out... There weren't any other lunch options available, so I ended up ordering an apple pie for dessert. I was disappointed because I was in the mood for quiche... It seemed like there wasn't a set menu, as I had to order my drink and apple pie separately.

Located on the basement floor of Takashimaya. I thought they only offered takeout, but they also had seating for dining in! They had a wide variety of apple pies, making it hard to choose. I love crumbles, so I ordered one with crumble on top and juicy apples inside (I'm sorry, I don't know the exact name of the menu item). When it arrived, I was delighted by its size and beauty! The taste was also amazing, with the perfect sweetness of the apples and the flavor of cinnamon. I want to try other types of apple pies as well as this one. Thank you for the delicious meal!

It is a small shop located in one corner of Takashimaya. I have been to their store in Minatomirai before, and compared to that, this one feels less open. It seems like many customers come here for takeout. The apple pie I had was delicious, with a crunchy and flaky crumble. You can choose the sauce, and I went with caramel, but honestly, the apple pie on its own was tastier. I think there is a demand for apple pie regardless of age, but I don't feel the urge to come back right away... However, it could be fun to enjoy a variety of assortments at a party. The atmosphere was nice, and there weren't many people, so it was comfortable. Thank you for the meal.

I knew that there was a Granny Smith Apple Pie shop near the entrance of Setagaya Park in Sangenjaya, but I didn't know there was also one inside Takashimaya in Futakotamagawa. I peered into the showcase and couldn't decide which one to choose, but I ended up getting the Classic Rum Raisin and Pumpkin Cheese Apple Pie. The crust was even more delicious than I had expected.

Granny Smith, a specialty apple pie shop located on B1F of Tamagawa Takashimaya. They have multiple stores in Tokyo. I purchased the classic French almond apple pie, custard apple pie, and Mont Blanc apple pie. Each slice costs 500 yen (tax included), except for the Mont Blanc which is 550 yen (tax included). The French almond apple pie is a standard apple pie with a moist texture and good level of sweetness. The cinnamon flavor is also just right. The Mont Blanc apple pie is one of the three limited-time autumn menu items. It features a combination of pie, apples, chestnut cream, whipped cream, and custard cream, giving it a cake-like feel. I enjoyed it with a cup of coffee. I look forward to revisiting in the future. Thank you for the meal.

It's been about 10 years since Granma Smith's opened, and I bought some pastries there. They last for 3 days. I got the Florentine, apple pie with ricotta cheese, and blueberry apple pie. Both were delicious but I preferred the crispy texture and sweetness of the Florentine. I want to try other varieties too.

The Granny Smith cafe in Takashimaya Yokohama is easy to access in the department store basement. They are taking good measures against COVID-19 and the service is excellent. This time I tried their cafe. I had their classic apple pie with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and maple syrup. The warm apple pie with cold vanilla ice cream was amazing. Their iced coffee was also great.

In addition to the regular menu of 5-6 types of apple pies, the seasonal apple pies that come out are a hidden pleasure. 🌸Sakura Mochi Apple Pie (500 yen) This day was my once-a-year treat!✨✨ My favorite is the Granny Smith variety. The café is always crowded, so on this day, I took it out and enjoyed it at home with coffee. The harmony of flavors is wonderful, with the sakura bean paste and shiratama rice cake blending well with the sweet and sour apples. The almond cream and butter aroma matches perfectly, making it the best. There is no other cake that makes you feel the season like this. It is available for a limited time from March 15th (Tuesday) to April 3rd (Sunday), so if you haven't tried it yet, be sure to give it a try!! 【Business Hours】10:00-21:00 (Last order 20:30)

On this day, at the request of my family who wanted to eat apple pie, we decided to use Gran Smith's takeout at the Tamagawa Takashimaya SC main building. I had heard of the name before because I bought a chilled dessert supervised by Gran Smith at FamilyMart last year, but this was my first time visiting the store. I thought it was a shop originating from England or America, but it turns out that "Gran Smith" is the name of a rare domestic green apple, and the store started in 2012 at the Mishuku store next to Setagaya Park. We used to live near Setagaya Park for a while, but we moved before the store opened, so I didn't know about it. It was a bit troublesome to cross the intersection from Futako-Tamagawa Station to get there, so we entered the Dogwood Plaza in front of Futako-Tamagawa Station and went to Tamagawa Takashimaya SC main building through the underground passage. The shop is located in the middle of the specialty shop area near the South Hall, with a showcase facing the passage and eat-in seats extending to the left. Looking inside the showcase, there were 7 types of apple pie, 2 types of quiche, and the Galette des Rois, which was currently on sale. After pondering how to choose for a moment, we decided to buy all the varieties except for the Galette des Rois, with 1 slice of apple pie and 2 slices of quiche for each family member. ◼️ Apple Pie (Regular Menu) Each 470 yen (tax included) ① Dutch Crumble → Fuji, cinnamon, bourbon used, staff recommended ② Classic Rum Raisin → Fuji, rum used, popular with women ③ French D'amand → Jonagold, cinnamon used ④ England Custard → Red apple used, No. 1 popular in all stores ◼️ Apple Pie (Limited Menu) Each 500 yen (tax included) ⑤ Gran Smith's Apple Pie → Limited from November to spring, green apple "Gran Smith", cinnamon used ⑥ Florentine Apple Pie → Limited to Futako-Tamagawa store, red apple used ⑦ Dry Fig and Walnut Cream Cheese Apple Pie → Limited from 11/29 to 2/27, red apple used ◼️ Quiche Each 620 yen (tax included) ⑧ Salmon and Cream Cheese Quiche ⑨ Chicken and White Sauce Quiche → Winter limited At first, a young female staff member took care of us, but when I asked various questions, a senior woman took over. She explained things patiently, and when I mentioned that I still had other shopping to do, she offered to keep the items for me until I was done. I took advantage of her offer, left a note with the pickup time, name, and cellphone number, and left the store for a while. Afterwards, I purchased deli items for dinner at the Tamagawa Takashimaya SC main building and Tokyu Food Show at Futako-Tamagawa Rise Shopping Center, and returned to the store in about 20 minutes to pick up the items. I had brought my own bag just in case, but since they offered a large paper bag that could fit the 7 slices of apple pie and 4 slices of quiche at once, I had them put everything in that bag. I took them home and had the apple pie for afternoon tea and the quiche for dinner. I tried the Gran Smith's Apple Pie and the Dry Fig and Walnut Cream Cheese Apple Pie. The Gran Smith's Apple Pie had a distinctive acidity typical of green apples. The Dry Fig and Walnut Apple Pie had a perfect balance of sweetness with the mild red apple and cream cheese. I also tried a few bites of some other apple pies, and all of them had a good texture with a restrained sweetness that highlighted the natural flavor of the apples. We shared the quiche by cutting each slice in half, trying both varieties with the whole family. The rich cream cheese and white sauce were delicious, and the portion was generous enough that we could enjoy several slices at once without feeling overwhelmed.

The seating towards the back of the restaurant seems more relaxing. The pies are not too sweet and come in a variety of flavors. When using the cafe, the same pie costs around ¥200 more, but it comes with caramel sauce and ice cream, and there is also a seating fee, so I think it's reasonable. It was tastier than getting it for takeout. In addition to coffee and tea, there are also smoothies available, so I think it's a place that can be enjoyed by both pie eaters and non-pie eaters.

I bought an assortment box as a souvenir. I tried 4 flavors with whipped cream for 1,910 yen including tax: Dutch Crumble, Classic Rum Raisin, French Daim, and England Custard. I had the Dutch Crumble, which had a lot of crumble on top and a hint of cinnamon, like a warm apple pie with whipped cream. It was delicious. I was in a rush and forgot to take a picture. Next time, I will dine in and have it with ice cream too.

I'm so happy that my favorite Granny Smith in Aoyama is now in Takashimaya at Futakotamagawa! I love their apple pie, especially the English custard and classic almond flavors. I usually get it to go at the Futakotamagawa store, but they also have a cafe there. I can't wait to go back and have it again! ✨

I used takeout when I couldn't dine in due to COVID-19. I added whipped cream to my apple pie! There were so many types of apple pies that I had a hard time choosing. I want to dine in next time.

Takeout French D'amand for 420 yen (excluding tax). First, eat it as it is. It's an apple pie! The apple has a crunchy texture, and the pie crust is crispy! It has a mild sweetness and a rich aroma. It's really good! Furthermore, lightly warm it up in a toaster, "Oh, this is nice." The slightly moist crust is not overwhelming, and it blends well with the apple flesh. When warmed, the flavor of almond cream unexpectedly emerges, and the cinnamon is more pronounced, making it even more delicious. Perfect for a tea time treat!

Granis Smith Cafe is a great place to enjoy a crispy and juicy apple pie. The apple pie is served with jam or syrup, which adds a different twist to the experience. I tried the limited edition Mont Blanc Apple Pie and Dutch Crumble, and they were both delicious. The Mont Blanc was moist and paired perfectly with the apple pie. I will definitely be coming back for more!

I love Granny Smith's. I'm happy that they have opened up many new stores recently. I usually buy their pies to go, but today I decided to have a light lunch inside the store. They have a variety of apple pies, including 4 regular flavors, 3 seasonal flavors, and 1 exclusive flavor only available at Tamagawa. I chose the exclusive Florentine flavor, which is made with caramel cream and almonds. You can also choose from 4 sauces (caramel, raspberry, honey orange, maple syrup) to go with it. I picked caramel. The pie also comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. My husband opted for the quiche, which is a special menu item for dining in. They also offer apple cobbler as another option. This store is located in the basement of Takashimaya, making it a hidden gem for a quick bite in Futakotamagawa. Just be aware that the line for dining in and takeout are in different areas.
