On May 3, 2023 (Wednesday) at 14:17 (according to the receipt), I enjoyed some new type of dessert called "Baba Orum" at a shop 100m away from my home. It was a sponge cake with plenty of rum and strawberries on top. The strawberries had a tartness to them, but when combined with the creamy filling, it was a bold and delicious treat. The harmony of fruity flavors and rum was delightful, and I enjoyed it with a slight buzz. I also had their classic cream puff and pudding, which were both delicious. It was a lovely snack time on my balcony at home.

I found a patisserie on my way back from the Koto Ward Office. It's always crowded whenever I go there. I see Koto Ward madams and salarymen buying souvenirs there. I bought some baked sweets and bread, and the bread was firm and delicious. The honey, cheese, and walnut combination was the best! I'm curious about the other bread too! The baked sweets start from around 250 yen... Boxed cookies are 600 yen and make a nice little gift.

On weekends, a little after 12 o'clock, there were about 2-3 groups of customers including myself, and the staff were efficiently wrapping and taking care of payments. I don't often come to the area around Toyocho, but I was intrigued by the word of mouth and decided to buy the Baba au Rum. However, I ended up getting another cake after being dazzled by all the glittering cakes. The Tandores was a chiffon cake with orange and white chocolate topping. The cream was light and delicious. The Rum Raisin cake had plenty of rum-soaked sponge with rum raisin cream in between, topped with lots of whipped cream. It had a good aroma and was tasty, but I got a bit tired of it halfway through, maybe because there was too much cream. The packaging was done carefully, and the lively atmosphere in the store was nice. I definitely want to try the Baba au Rum next time and also the baked sweets. Thank you for the meal!

Sweets shop in Toyocho. Located on the back street of Toyocho Station. Visited on a weekday afternoon. The shop had 2-3 customers inside. Purchased a madeleine, a popular menu item. The madeleine was in a cup and had a slightly fragrant aroma with a nice touch of sliced almonds. The shop had a lively atmosphere and seemed to be a popular cake shop in the area.

I had always wanted to visit Eclair Schedule Higashimachi. Every time I passed by, there was always a line, so I kept putting it off for another time... It had been many years... On a Sunday, I decided to visit around 10 o'clock, despite the hot temperature of 30 degrees. I had heard about their cream puffs and decided to buy one. When I saw the price, I was surprised as I thought it was around 300 yen based on reviews. But with the high cost of eggs and wheat, I guess they had to raise the price. It was 350 yen each. Although it was a bit pricey, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. The inside was filled with rich custard cream and the choux pastry was crispy. The texture of the nuts added a nice touch. It was just the right amount of sweetness. It was the most delicious cream puff I've ever had. I really liked it. The staff, including the manager, were all very nice. I rarely give ratings over 4.0, but I will definitely go back to buy more! On my way out, I overheard some moms talking about how all the cakes here are beautiful, and I couldn't agree more. I look forward to coming back to buy some cakes when it cools down. I'm excited for my next visit. Thank you for the delicious treats.

I finally made it to the patisserie I couldn't visit before! Had tantanmen noodles. Changed the address on my driver's license. Did some shopping at Nitori. While wandering around, my family reminded me of the patisserie I hadn't been to, so I decided to go check it out! The first thing that stood out was the number of staff... definitely more than 10. The pastries looked incredibly delicious. You can tell they are made with great care. I found a really good patisserie! Thank you for the meal!

Located in an apartment area on the north side of Toyocho Station, this patisserie was featured on a local TV show. The owner, who trained in France, opened the shop nine years ago. The shop is described as stylish, with English signage, and a spacious layout showcasing a variety of stylish sweets. I ordered the "Baba au Rhum" for 583 yen, which is a cake made with a lot of alcohol. The staff were stylish and welcoming, and I paid with a cashless payment method. I took the cake home and enjoyed it as a dessert for dinner. The "Baba au Rhum" was rich with cream, orange, lemon, vanilla syrup, and rum, giving it a French flair. I paired it with some Bacardi rum I had at home. I might just be a fan of Baba cakes.

・Tropico (Passion fruit, banana tart): ✅ Simply delicious ・Safari (Passion fruit, banana, coffee): ✅ Decent, but not exceptional My friend said that the caramel and pear mousse was also delicious, not too sweet!

As a lover of alcohol, I bought a Baba Rum at a restaurant to enjoy. It was extremely sweet, almost overpowering the taste of the whipped cream on top. I think it's best not to buy one with too much rum next time. I will try a different type on my next visit.

This time, I tried shortcake for the first time. It was different from a regular shortcake, as it was tall and vertical in shape. It had plenty of strawberries inside, giving it a nice volume. The sponge cake inside added a good accent. I enjoyed it with a spoon.

Today is March 14th, White Day. I searched for a delicious cake to give to my family and found this place, Eclat du Jour Higashiyokocho Main Store, which is open until 7 pm. It's currently 6:30 pm and the store is packed with customers. Besides cakes, they also sell various other items. I decided to focus on cakes and lined up (about 10 people). The female staff members were efficiently handling the orders and payments (about 5-6 people). I ordered cakes to take home, considering I would be traveling by train and bicycle. I chose the following from the showcase: Tiramisu (561 yen), Shortcake Verrine (594 yen), Mont Blanc (594 yen), and Baba au Rum (540 yen), tax included. After a short wait, I paid and carefully carried the cakes home. I ended up trying the Baba au Rum. The cake had a strong rum aroma, with the rum-infused dough being quite soaked (there was rum collected at the bottom). The orange and lemon mixed into the dough were subtly present. The whipped cream was light and complemented the rum-flavored dough. The strawberry on top provided a refreshing touch. It was a surprise to learn that this was a classic French cake. Overall, it was a successful White Day celebration with my family enjoying the cakes. Next time, I'll try a different cake for an even better experience.

Tarte Tatin for 670 yen. Odile for 562 yen. Spicy Chocolate Pared for 594 yen. A wide variety of choices. I chose rich and flavorful options. The Tarte Tatin has caramelized top and a thick, crispy pie crust. Odile features a rich cheesecake with a hint of spice in a cookie base. The Spicy Chocolate Pared is a light and refreshing chocolate mousse. Simple and affordable cakes.

The cakes inside the showcase, the baked goods and bread on top of the showcase, they all look beautiful. I want to try them all. Among the purchases this time, Safari is still the best♡ (Although it doesn't look like the old Safari, I personally declare it based on everyone's reviews of the taste composition. No matter how many times I go, I can't remember.) The appearance and combination are heartwarming. However, somewhere there is a sticky sweet base, which makes it a little difficult to eat one, but this is a sweet, so my husband scolded me. There are many techniques of surrounding cakes with chocolate, sweet cake + chocolate = heaven for sweet tooths, but I don't remember any black chocolate-surrounded cakes, only white chocolate surrounds. The caramel is delicious, and the croissant is outstanding. There are so many pastry chefs, I was surprised! I counted them once, there were about 14-15 people. Also, they often bring something in a small truck from somewhere. I stared at it thinking it might be OEM. There is also a large warehouse behind the shop, and I realized that it is necessary to have such a beautiful cakes. Hmm...

First visit to purchase a birthday cake. The interior of the store seems to prohibit photography. They offer a variety of whole cakes, starting from small sizes, and they respond quickly to messages. The cream puffs, baked goods, and various cakes all look delicious. This cake shop is also known as the number one in Koto Ward.

I visited a place near Higashisunamachi Station. They were playing light fusion music. I got a "financier" for takeout. Unfortunately, I accidentally squished it while carrying it. It had a strong butter flavor and paired well with coffee.

I arrived at the store around 17:10 on December 25, 2022, Christmas Day. There were about 5-6 groups inside the store, some of whom had made prior reservations. I was able to purchase Safari Passion without any issues, and its moderate sweet and sour taste was accentuated and delicious. The combination of banana and passion fruit was also excellent. There were many other delicious cakes lined up, so I would like to purchase them again if I have the opportunity.

I went to pick up the Christmas cake I had reserved. The line for people wanting to buy cut cakes for the day was crazy. I thought I would have to wait in that line... but it turned out the reservation line was different, and they handed it to me right away. The woman who seemed to be the chief at the storefront always impresses me with her customer service! The cake itself was a berry Noël. Some of my family members no longer eat whipped cream, so I chose a mousse cake! It was a hit! Truly amazing! I forgot to take a picture of the cross-section, but it was also beautiful. I want to eat this again.

The macarons and raspberry have a nice acidity, while the chocolate mousse is rich without being too heavy. The blackberry tartlet has a great balance of acidity from the mousse and buttery flavor, which pairs perfectly with the tart crust. I want to try the raspberry next time! Taking photos inside the store is apparently prohibited.

After practice, I stopped by this place. It was a scorching hot day, so even though there were delicious-looking breads displayed, I just couldn't bring myself to buy any (lol). As soon as I walked into the store, I stood in front of the thermometer and it showed "46 degrees" (lol). They had something called a smoothie soft serve, which you could eat inside the store (standing up) so I ordered one. Due to the intense heat outside, I just couldn't bring myself to eat outside... I felt like I would melt instantly if I stepped outside. The smoothie soft serve was 600 yen, and today's flavor was "matcha and griotte cherry". The cherry gelato had a really nice sourness, and I quite liked it. When I ate it together with the red bean paste, it felt like I was eating a "sweet and sour paste", which was fun. As I carefully savored the cherry gelato on top (there was just a little bit), I was delighted to find out that there was also a generous portion at the bottom (you wouldn't know until you ate through the matcha soft serve lol). It was a delightful treat. It was delicious, sweet, and cold. I felt revived. I want to come back next time when it's not as hot and buy some bread too.

Shuminer Raspberry Macaron-topped Raspberry Chocolate Cake for adults ¥500. Inside is chocolate sponge and chocolate mousse-like filling, with a raspberry sauce. The rich chocolate flavor is irresistible for chocolate lovers, and the cocoa aroma is enjoyable. The slight acidity of the raspberries makes it refreshing to eat.
