I used JAL and went to the shops in the first terminal. I had originally thought that they were only in the second terminal, so I was thrilled to find them. They were selling super cute cookies, so I bought some for my friends in Osaka and for myself at home. They were too cute. The cookies were in the shape of bears, and there were about two different flavors, but I chose the Hawaiian salt. The packaging was super cute. There were boxed sets available, and if the timing is right, they also sell mini sets of 2 cookies for those who want to try the flavors. Since I had an evening flight, the mini sets were almost sold out, but I was able to buy one, which was great. They also had other snacks like chocolate rusk crunch. They are perfect for gifts. The packaging is so cute and the taste is delicious, so I highly recommend it! It's located at the departure gate of Haneda Airport Terminal 1, so you can only purchase it if you are taking a flight. I would love to visit again when using JAL domestic flights.

With the renewal, the name of the store changed from Sweets & Travel to Global Island, and the sweets products were completely renewed. Unfortunately, items like Amy Bear's macarons, Sanrio's eclairs, and yogurt-flavored cup ice creams are no longer available. However, there are new collaboration products with Hachitendo, popular Butter's cousin, and Amy Bear's characters are still present with baked goods. I purchased cookies, a 6-piece pack, and on this day, there was only one box of strawberry left. They are so cute that I can't bring myself to eat them (laughs). I bought them as White Day gifts since the expiration date allows for it.

You can buy the popular butter cousin that is said to have a 2-month waiting period at the online shop! Furthermore, you can also purchase the collaboration flavors with Samantha Thavasa, including salted caramel flavor. The collaboration products with Samantha are even more limited in availability, making them highly recommended rare items!

Soft Serve Ice Cream - ¥509 (Eat-in) ⭐️ The richness is evident just by looking at it! ⭐️ Enjoy a leisurely time before departure while gazing at JAL airplanes and the runway. ⭐️ Phantom-kun was also excited for a rare outing and sat on top of the soft serve stand. ( *´艸｀)heeheehee

It's been a while since I last flew on a plane ✈️. It might be around 2 years since the spread of COVID. Many people from the countryside have been hesitant to come to the city, so it's finally starting to ease up recently. I found a sweets shop called "Butter Cousin" from Tochigi at a corner of the Samantha Thavasa area inside the JAL boarding gate (☆∀☆) Sparkling!! I decided to order a soft serve ice cream for 500 yen (tax included) before boarding. When I looked at the freezer, I was surprised to see Carpi Journey ice cream. This might be worth trying. It says they use Jersey cows from the "Mori no Bokujo" in Nasu. Just the mention of Jersey cows makes it sound like it must be delicious. My expectations are rising. Oh(´＞△＜｀)... The soft serve ice cream that arrived is the popular roll type. I thought it was only a trend in Japan, but even Carpi Journey has a thick extraction nozzle. I immediately took a bite. It's incredibly delicious. It quickly turns into milk. It's on par with Naka Hora. The overrun is amazing, as expected from Carpi Journey!! And the sweetness is natural, I like this. All this for 500 yen. It easily surpasses Japan's Crema. Is this shop not in Tokyo? It's so delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I bought the salted caramel flavored butter sandwich because I was curious about it. It tasted dangerously sweet, with a crunchy sugary texture, caramel sweetness, and buttery sweetness all mixed together. I would like to buy it again as a souvenir.

It is a Samantha Thavasa airport store famous for bags and wallets. It is sure to be visited when going to Haneda as a souvenir. The cute tables and such will lift your spirits before the flight. The limited edition items make great souvenirs.

It seems to be a limited-time collaboration, where cream puffs turn into burgers in Samantha Thavasa's showcase. I found myself thinking about unimportant things like that. There's a whole strawberry sweet burger and a oozy banana sweet burger, but they're not particularly delicious, just like, "Oh, it's strawberry flavor, it's banana."

Upon passing through the boarding gate at Haneda Airport Terminal 1, you will come across "Samantha Thavasa Sweets & Travel." The entrance is designed to make you want to enter this cute shop! I have bought bags from here before, but this is my first time in the sweets shop. The popular item here is the "Eclair," which comes in various flavors such as custard, strawberry milk, green apple, heart mango, and heart chocolate - all colorful and cute. There is also a seating area inside where you can sit on adorable sofas and even take photos with the airplanes. The price for one eclair is a bit high at 450 yen, but the lovely staff suggested, "How about getting a drink set? It's a good deal." The sweets drink set with a drink included is 500 yen - wait, did I hear that right? A drink for just 50 yen at the airport! With such cuteness, 500 yen seems worth it. The drink cup is also adorable! I was so immersed in the cuteness that I felt a bit sad to eat it! But once I opened the eclair, I finished it in less than a minute. The taste of the eclair was just "average," but the overall experience of seeing, eating, and Instagramming it makes it a great gift that will surely impress the ladies.

I'm in Tokyo at Haneda Airport gate. I still have some time before my flight. I found a Samantha Thavasa store while wandering around. I wasn't planning on buying anything since they also have it at New Chitose Airport, but I found a collaboration product with Yatendo! The price was 351 yen excluding tax. It seemed a bit expensive, but maybe it's because of the brand? I was about to buy it when a cute girl in a costume came over and said, "Feel free to take pictures!" I took a photo and decided to buy four of them. They packed it with ice packs in a box. When I brought it home, everyone was interested and came to see it right away. Since it's a perishable item, we decided to eat it immediately. It's called a whole strawberry sweet burger, and it has strawberries soaked in syrup inside Yatendo's bread. The syrup seeped into the bread a bit, making it soft and delicious. It's very easy to eat and tasty, so both kids and adults will enjoy it! Thank you for the meal!

After finishing the baggage inspection at Haneda Airport, I always find myself stopping by the Samantha Thavasa store inside the JAL domestic flight gate. On this day, I was looking for a souvenir to bring to my friend's house. Since I have two elementary school girls, I wanted something cute, so I bought Samantha Thavasa sweets. Since I had some time, I consulted with the staff and got an eclair for myself. For an additional 50 yen, you can get a drink. It feels like, "Only 50 yen?" I think the cafe latte was also without an additional charge. (I'm sorry if I'm wrong) The eclair is reasonably priced, but it looks cute and the drink is cheap, so getting the drink set feels like a good deal. The eat-in space is a small area where only about 6 people can sit in total, but since no one was there, I had the place to myself and enjoyed my snack while looking out the window at the airplanes. There are items that are Instagram-worthy, so I think people who like cute things would enjoy it. I didn't see it on this day, but I quite like Samantha Thavasa's casual line, especially their golf wear, which is a bit sporty yet cute. Samantha Thavasa is known for being very cute, but their golf wear and other items balance out that cuteness, which is nice. By the way, the cake I bought as a souvenir and the eclair were just okay in terms of taste. I recommend it to people who like cute things. Thank you for the meal. Samantha Thavasa Sweets & Travel Haneda Airport Terminal 1 Store.

When I come to Tokyo by plane, I always make sure to stop by Samantha Thavasa before heading back. Even though the boarding gate for the Akita flight in the second terminal is usually in a completely different direction from Samantha, this time the Akita gate was still at the end as usual, but I could go directly to the first shop right after passing through the security checkpoint with my carry-on luggage. Since I had a late lunch, I didn't eat anything in Haneda, but I bought the I'm Bear heart macaron which I hadn't had in 3 years. When I went to Solamachi last year, they didn't have it, and they said it probably won't be available in Haneda either. In the second terminal, there are box designs that are exclusive to that side. It had been 4 years since I last used JAL. I didn't eat the ones that were distributed as souvenirs this time, but I have definitely eaten the I'm Bear heart macaron before. It's not just cute, it's delicious. Since they are individually wrapped, they last a little longer. The eclairs, including the ones with Sanrio characters and original designs, are cute. I have eaten them in the second terminal. I was actually planning to buy a Samantha Snoopy wallet at Seibu Ikebukuro, but ended up spending a lot.

There is nothing good about Hachitendo!

I bought a cute bag of bear cookies at Samantha Thavasa SWEETS & TRAVEL at Haneda Airport for around ¥500. They had vanilla and strawberry flavors, and the strawberry one had a nice fruity taste. They also sell fresh sweets like eclairs, and you can enjoy a drink at a small cafe area for a good price. Check out Kuronyan's Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/kuronyan2017/

At Haneda Airport, while waiting to board, I decided to explore a more feminine area that I wouldn't usually go near. I found a cute little table at the back of the Samantha Thavasa store where they serve tea. They had colorful éclairs on offer, so I chose the mango flavor for its vibrant color. As I sat there, looking at the planes, I tried the éclair. Um, wait, what did I order again? The color is beautiful, but I can't really taste the mango. Maybe they focused more on the appearance rather than the flavor. This experience made me reflect on the fact that sometimes we choose things based on aesthetics without considering the actual taste. Well, at least I tried something new and embraced my feminine side for a moment.

After completing the security check at Haneda Airport, I was drawn to Samantha Thavasa with its bright and poppy vibe. There were cute sweets lined up, so I decided to have tea at the eat-in area since I had some time before boarding. The yellow eclair was filled with plenty of mango cream. Enjoying a delicious moment while gazing at the airplanes really heightened my travel mood. The cafe latte I ordered had a milk base and a soft taste with less coffee. It seems like they cater to cute girls, a surprising discovery!

Sometimes I buy sweets here and bring them as souvenirs to our business partners in the countryside. Taking into consideration factors such as price, shelf life, size, and individual packaging, I choose the donut assortment from here. This brand is extremely popular among the women in the countryside, so even though it's not cheap, the results are good, making it cost-effective in the end. However, without this brand, it's clearly too expensive! Among the sweets here, I bought the most expensive one, an eclair, for myself to try. It looks cute and the taste is decent, but 500 yen is still expensive, right? Maybe I'll stick to just buying donuts after all?

I stopped by the Samantha Thavasa sweets shop in the second terminal of Haneda Airport. I was excited to see the cute sweets from Samantha Thavasa for the first time and wanted to try everything. I purchased a set of 5 eclairs for 2000 yen and 2 cookies for 480 yen. When I tried them, the eclairs were small and the taste was not very distinctive. I felt that 400 yen for one eclair was expensive. I bought them for their uniqueness and cute appearance, but I probably won't buy them again. The shop offers cute sweets, as well as miscellaneous goods and bags, so browsing is enjoyable. Samantha Thavasa is still a bag shop at heart.
