I chose this soft serve ice cream for dessert after lunch. Soft Serve Ice Cream Langue de Chat - 600 yen (tax included) It says it's of the highest quality, and it truly is delicious. The rich milk cream is delightful. The crispy cone is coated with chocolate. Soft serve ice cream with a chocolate cone is a classic combination and it's absolutely perfect. The soft serve ice cream was quite generous in size, so my family of three shared it. 600 yen is not too expensive. Thank you for the meal.

The shop has a black theme that gives off a nice vibe in the atmosphere of the shopping street, with the white showcases making the desserts stand out. The desserts are priced around 600 yen, which may seem a bit high, but with tax included, it's easier to accept. There aren't too many choices, making it easy to decide. I ordered a shortcake for 600 yen, a strawberry mascarpone for 650 yen, and a chocolate for 600 yen. Starting with the shortcake... It has a good amount of cream, especially on the outer edges, making it light and enjoyable to eat. The cream is not too light, with a nice balance and a focus on flavor. The appearance and casual feel of the cake give it a unique touch. Next, the strawberry mascarpone... While it was good, it didn't quite meet my high expectations. The combination of mascarpone and strawberries was nice, but the balance of sweetness and acidity could have been better. Lastly, the chocolate... A mix of milk and bitter chocolate in a 2:1 ratio, creating a dessert-like sweetness with a hint of bitterness that complements it well. The sprinkles on top add a nice texture and flavor, enhancing the overall taste of the chocolate. Overall, the desserts seem to have been made with care, and while they may not be perfect, they are definitely worth trying.

I went to a Western confectionery shop on the opposite side of the Koshu Highway, but most of the products were already sold out (I had a feeling that would be the case). Since I came all the way here, I decided to stop by SundayBAKE on the way. I was surprised. I actually know this area very well. My aunt used to live in Honcho, so I had been coming here occasionally for nearly 30 years until about 7 years ago. During those 30 years, there were almost no cake shops in this neighborhood. There was only one bakery quite a bit further ahead. The only famous confectionery shop was Kogaonin. The appearance of SundayBAKE was unthinkable. So, between the Koshu Highway and the Mizukido Road, there are now two Western confectionery shops! Even the eateries have a somewhat stylish feel to them. Is Nishihara area also here? The wave of the Nishihara area has reached the opposite side of the Koshu Highway. Gâteau Chocolat 650 yen: "A classic gâteau chocolat with rich chocolate cream, whipped cream, and strawberries on top." The cream is as thick as a fondant chocolat. The gâteau chocolat part is light, so this cream is essential. Among all the items, this is the most ordinary and within an acceptable range. Cheesecake 550 yen: It seems to have a moderate acidity and not too sweet, but it feels somewhat lacking. Fruit Roll 600 yen: It is not very thick, but it is huge. You can guess the size from the banana. The génoise is light. It has a softness that melts immediately. There is almost no taste or aroma. It feels like the eggs are waving at the end of the world. Hey, maybe that egg is an illusion. Hey. The cream also has no taste. It's not vanilla, nor does it have a milky taste. The proportion of apples, kiwi, and strawberries is low, and for some reason, sweetness is added with a syrup-like substance on the outer edge. Savarin 650 yen: I bought a savarin, but what is this? "Walnuts on top, raisins (regular and currants-like) and candied orange peel under the cream, and of course, brioche at the bottom." Looking at it this way, it feels like they went overboard. The decisive factor is the saltiness of the brioche that surpasses the sweetness of the syrup! The syrup is not rum or Cointreau, I thought it might be Cointreau because of the oranges, but it's different. It's a syrup with a light sweetness that I have never tasted before. There is almost zero of my favorite liqueur taste. Due to the saltiness and the subtle cream, it even gives off a cheese-like vibe. What is this? When you eat it, please let me know your thoughts, even if it's just your personal opinion. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish it. When I entered, there was no one there, but when I looked back after paying, there was a long line behind me. Is it a popular shop? Looking at the reviews on Tabelog, the evaluations are split in half. I wonder if it depends on what you choose? Like that huge cream puff? The prices are not cheap either. Well, there are various things. I learned a lot. I wonder where the writer learned all this from.

The pastry shop has a unique setup with a display case facing the street, resembling a food stall. The shop has a dark color scheme with some bright pastries, illuminated by lights to make them look more appealing. I bought a custard pie for 400 yen, a gateau chocolat for 650 yen, and a chocolate crunch for 150 yen. The prices were inclusive of tax, which was good. The custard pie had a generous amount of creamy custard filling, although the pastry itself was a bit lacking. The gateau chocolat had a fancy appearance but didn't have a strong flavor profile, making it seem overpriced. Overall, the pastries looked good but didn't quite live up to expectations in terms of taste and value for money.

The shop exudes a different calmness in the bustling shopping street, making it feel high-class, which raises expectations. Although the customer service is impersonal and the words spoken are bland, lacking any sense of hospitality, the experience feels no different from buying at a convenience store. While it's not unusual for the staff to handle sales, having the maker themselves interact with customers and sell their creations actually earns favor. However, the lack of effort in providing a welcoming atmosphere makes it clear that there is no genuine care for the customers. The packaging is sloppy, with the ice pack simply thrown into an empty space in the box, resulting in some items melting and collapsing. The first item tried was the Blueberry Rare Cheesecake priced at 600 yen, with a blueberry jam wrapped in a red-purple hue surrounding the rare cheesecake inside. The cheesecake had a light texture and a subtle cheese flavor that balanced well with the slight acidity of the blueberry. Despite initial skepticism about the combination of cheese and blueberry, the flavors blended harmoniously and tasted delicious. The next item, the Red Velvet, was a cake with red chocolate and cream cheese, an American creation. The cake looked like a red chocolate ganache on a red velvet cake base, with the cream cheese resembling a shiny topping. The light and fluffy cream cheese had a similar texture to a mousse, with a subtle sweetness and a hint of cheese flavor. The red chocolate had a deep color and tasted like cocoa, with a sweetness leaning towards dark chocolate rather than milk chocolate. Overall, both desserts were well-balanced in terms of appearance and taste, making them worth the price of 600 yen each.

There used to be an ice cream cafe at the location, but now a cake shop has opened there. It seems like they are not using the second floor. The service is a bit slow, maybe because there is only one pastry chef. I bought a Gold Mont Blanc, Shine Muscat, Blueberry Cheesecake, and Custard Pie Choux. The Gold Mont Blanc was really well done, with a refreshing sweetness of chestnut cream and candied chestnuts, topped with a tea-scented sponge. The Shine Muscat and Blueberry Cheesecake were also quite delicious. The Custard Pie Choux was a big size, with a crispy choux pastry and a mildly sweet cream. It was just right for its size.

This is a product designed for eating on the go. Puff Pastry Soft Serve for 500 yen. A slightly warm puff pastry shell is filled with custard and soft serve ice cream right after you order. The puff pastry layers were crispy and flavorful. The soft serve inside was ordinary, but the addition of custard added richness. The puff pastry and cream matched well and it was very delicious. There are no seats, so this product is meant for eating on the go. However, it was hot and humid with wind, so my hands and face got messy. As a lover of moist towelettes, I was saved, but having a handkerchief is a must for this dessert. There were many attractive cakes in the showcase. If it were closer, I might become a regular customer. Thank you for the meal.

This day we visited the areas around Sasazuka, Hatagaya, Sangubashi, and Yoyogi-Hachiman. The words "lookism" and "anti-lookism" came up. The idea is to evaluate a person's essence and abilities fairly, without judging based on appearance. However, some people tend to interpret and twist this concept to suit their convenience, especially in Europe and America, where criticism like "she's beautiful, so she must be bad" is common. This has led to characters in various works being intentionally made to look less attractive due to pressure from certain groups. It's fine to not judge based on looks in reality, but interfering with creative works to fit a certain agenda seems off. Now, onto "Maison de Mimo" located near Hatagaya Station. This shop sells beautifully crafted cakes, despite the ongoing debate about "anti-lookism." The shop is simple with a display of around 15 different cakes, all of considerable size. They also offer soft serve ice cream and parfaits, but it seems to be for takeout only. The cakes we tried were as follows: - Lemonade Tart: A tart with lemon cream and lime marshmallow on an almond tart base. The flavors didn't blend well. - Japanese Brown Sugar Roll Cake: A shortcake with Hokkaido red bean paste. The sponge was dense, and the texture was soft. - Fraisier: A triangular cake with strawberry cream and vanilla cream. The outer layer had a strange texture. - Melon Shortcake: A cake with fresh melon and sponge, although the flavor was quite mild. - Forest Mont Blanc: A Mont Blanc with French chestnut cream and custard. The taste was lacking. - Blueberry Rare Cheesecake: A cheesecake with blueberry and cream cheese, topped with crumble. The texture was good. - Custard Pie Shoe: A popular choice with a large pie filled with custard cream. The crust was flaky. Overall, the quality of the cakes was a bit hit or miss, but considering they are made by a local bakery, it's not too bad.

2022/5 Patisserie "Maison de miimo"✨✨ There are no advertisements and little information available about this place. The shop opened in October 2020 and is located a 2-minute walk from Hatagaya Station on the Keio New Line, along Rokugo-dori shopping street. The small shop interior gives off a gelato shop vibe. Previously, they had a seating area on the second floor, but now they only offer takeout. I felt like having dessert after visiting "Hashiya," so I bought a cream puff. Let's see how it tasted. ■ Custard Pie Choux 400 yen (tax included) A cream puff that emphasizes its crispy texture. The appearance resembles mille-feuille, and you can feel the crispiness just by looking at it. The taste... well, the pastry is delicious. The cream is generously filled, with a mild sweetness. However, the cream lacks richness, and I wish it had more character. It's a decent cream puff, but considering the price, I expected more. ■ Service The service was proper. ■ Price A bit higher than expected. It wasn't exactly to my liking, but it was satisfying to try the taste of this newly opened patisserie. Thank you for the meal. Rating: As of June 2022 Tabelog rating 3.05, 13 reviews

2022.1.23 First visit. I had some errands in Hatsudai and decided to walk back to a nearby station for some exercise. I had planned to walk beforehand, so I was checking for any dessert shops in Hatsudai or Hatagaya area. And I found this shop. It's located in a shopping street. As soon as I stepped into the shop, there was a small showcase right in front of me. The shop had a luxurious feel with a black base, and it displayed sophisticated cakes. The prices were a bit on the higher side, but the unique and stylish cakes were very appealing to me! I was drawn to the Sakura Mont Blanc they had, as I love cherry blossoms, but I had to give up on buying a cake due to my plan to walk afterwards. On top of the showcase, they had baked goods like scones and banana muffins. This time, I bought the "Chocolate Chip Cookie (¥250)!" It was a palm-sized large cookie with lots of chocolate chips, just the way I like it. Large cookies tend to be moist like Country Ma**, but this cookie was surprisingly crispy! However, the inside was moist. It was nice to enjoy both textures. The scent of butter was gently wafting, and I could taste the butter flavor well. I would be very happy if they had a White Chocolate version too...♪ If I have a chance to stop by again, I would like to try their cakes next time. Thank you for the meal!

Scone ¥200 A rich scone made with butter and cream from Hokkaido. The outside is crispy while the inside is crumbly. It has a slight sweetness with a strong salty taste. The buttery flavor spreads in your mouth luxuriously. Takeout only.

I found a stylish and cute cake shop. There were a lot of different types of cakes in the display case. They looked very beautiful, but the taste was just okay. Especially, the sponge cake was not tasty at all. It seems like they also sell soft serve ice cream, so maybe I'll just go buy that...

I stumbled upon a beautifully decorated shop after a long time and was delighted to discover it. I purchased their specialty pastry, a Mont Blanc, a mille-feuille, a shortcake, and a financier. I started with the Mont Blanc, but was surprised to find that it tasted more like condensed milk than chestnut. I felt that it wasn't worth the 600 yen I paid for it. Next, I tried the financier, which was thin and overbaked, resembling something I might have accidentally made at home while trying to save on ingredients. I decided to let my family try the remaining two pastries, each priced at around 600 yen, as I felt a bit disappointed. The Paris-Brest was decent in taste, but at 400 yen, it seemed quite expensive. Overall, I recommend it for those who just want to take photos!

This is a small shop in the shopping street of Hatagaya. There is a staircase next to the register, I wonder if there is actually an eat-in area on the 2nd floor. The showcase faces the street, and the cakes are clearly visible, so I can't help but peek. Wow, these cakes look so Instagrammable! They sell baked goods one by one! I bought three slices of cake, and one each of madeleines and financiers. Each cake costs 600 yen. The apple mango, white peach, and pineapple cakes all look tempting. The apple mango has a nice fruit texture and taste! The surprise is the pie crust at the bottom. Normally, layers are horizontal, right? But here they are vertical. Maybe that's why it has a crunchy texture. The pineapple cake has a refreshing taste and is easy to eat. However, the white peach had a slightly canned taste and seemed a bit blurry. The madeleines and financiers were amazing, just like freshly baked! The cookies looked delicious too! I definitely want to go back.

When I had business in Hatagaya, I was drawn to an attractive showcase and decided to order a gold Mont Blanc. They kindly included a free ice pack. Excitedly, I tried it at home, but the unique texture of the sponge didn't suit my taste. Inside, there were whole candied chestnuts with a rich cream that brought out the chestnut flavor. If the sponge was better, I think it would be a really wonderful cake.

Soft serve ice cream and cream puffs are both delicious.

Tiramisu - Amazingly light mascarpone with coffee jelly and puff pastry for an accent.

The visuals are amazing! All the cakes are cute and I was excited while choosing. I bought a strawberry shortcake and a large chocolate chip cookie. The cream on the shortcake wasn't too sweet, which was nice. The cookie was also crispy and delicious.

This is a Mont Blanc dessert, and it seems to also contain white bean paste!
