I received a stylish assortment of baked goods in a round box. ◎ Sablé au Chocolat Shock - A thin sablé coated with smooth and mellow chocolate, with a crispy and melty texture that feels pleasant. ● Sablé au Chocolat Matcha - A melty matcha chocolate sablé with a pleasant texture, but I prefer the regular chocolate one. ◎ Florentin Nature - A crispy and chewy caramel-flavored florentine with a rich sweetness that spreads in your mouth. This one is delicious! ● Florentin Chocolat - A crispy almond-flavored florentine that is of course delicious, but I liked the Nature one more. ◎ Financier Earl Grey - A firm outer texture with a slightly crispy and fragrant inside, with a moist yet light feel, and above all, the good flavor of the individual. The flavor of Earl Grey and butter. This one is so delicious that I would buy it just for this. ● Macaron Rusk - Crispy and a bit crunchy, small but with a satisfying texture and quality. A truly high-quality macaron rusk. ● Vanilla Cookie - A crispy and light cookie that exudes a sense of quality. ● Chocolate Cookie - A high-quality chocolate cookie with a gentle and crispy texture that makes you feel delighted. All of them were delicious and I could truly feel the excellence in taste.

I stopped by a chestnut sweets shop. I got the following items (excluding tax): - Chestnut Valcarol: 660 yen - Fig and Vanilla Confiture: 1050 yen - Matcha Chestnut Croissant: 700 yen I enjoyed them at home with red wine. The Chestnut Valcarol is large chestnuts from Naples, glazed with a soft and sweet syrup. Each chestnut gives a satisfying taste. The Confiture is made at Atelier Karuizawa, with 8 different flavors available. This one is made with black figs from Shibata, Niigata Prefecture, and vanilla beans. It can last for nearly 3 months, so I haven't tried it yet. The Croissant is a limited edition item from Isetan, featuring matcha croissant filled with chestnut cream flavored with rum. Both the buttery moist dough and the chestnut cream are delicious. It will be available until October, so I might come back for more.

Visited the "Patisserie Sadaharu Aoki Paris Shinjuku Isetan Store" directly connected to Shinjuku Sanchome Station. The Marunouchi store is one of the top 100 sweets shops in 2019. I arrived on a Sunday after 12 o'clock and there was no line, so I decided to try it out. I ordered the Cannele Nature for 351 yen. For some reason, I had to wait about 10 minutes at the 4th counter to pay. The Cannele has a nice vanilla scent! The surface has a crispy texture, but the inside is chewy and moist, which was delicious. I enjoyed it until the last bite.

A friend brought me a souvenir! I had never tried it before because it was expensive, but when I tasted it, I understood why it's so popular... It was surprisingly delicious. Especially the matcha cake. It was a deliciousness I had never experienced before. While I wasn't as impressed by the baked goods and jams I had tried in the past, the cake was in a league of its own.

This is an incredibly delicious restaurant!! The flavors are very complex and you will definitely be satisfied. However, it is a bit expensive. It may not be something you can afford to eat frequently, but it's great for an occasional treat. It's really delicious, so please try it at least once!

I bought a canelé as a treat for myself. I only bought one, but the customer service was very attentive and I was happy! The canelé had a crispy outer layer and a moist inside. It's not very big, but I enjoyed it slowly and it was delicious.

I went to the shop after seeing the sakura eclair on Instagram. I also got matcha and some baked goods. - Sakura Eclair 570 yen (excluding tax) - Matcha Eclair 570 yen - Mont Blanc 490 yen The Sakura Eclair has a pastry cream mixed with sakura powder, giving it a cherry blossom flavor with a hint of salt that I really liked. The Matcha Eclair is a signature item at AOKI, with a rich matcha cream. I've had it before, so my daughter tried it this time. The Mont Blanc was a bit pricey, but it had a strong alcohol flavor and was delicious, with an adult taste and moist texture. In the event "7 Days Buried in Sweets," Chef Aoki also collaborated with Izumiya to create a cake with buttercream that looked delicious.

The shop Sadaharu Aoki in Isetan Shinjuku always seems to be crowded, offering a wide range of sweets from traditional Japanese to Western-style pastries. I purchased the limited edition Tart Frais Citron on this day. It was a lemon tart with a sweet and sour strawberry and white chocolate cream. The strawberry was pleasantly tangy, and the smooth and mellow sweetness of the white chocolate cream harmonized well with the strawberry's tartness. Overall, it was a simple yet elegant cake and very delicious.

French patisserie renowned overseas, including winning the Best Pastry Chef Award in France! The shop is operated by SAJ Co., led by Mr. Sadaharu Aoki. Mr. Aoki went to France in 1989 to train in patisseries and restaurants, winning the taste category of the Charles Blouet Competition in 1995. Three years later, in 1998, he opened his own shop. Despite facing difficulties in obtaining permission to open the shop, Mr. Aoki represented France in pastry events abroad twice. He was able to open the shop with the support of a prominent figure in the French pastry industry, Madame Peltier, who vouched for his skills. Since then, Mr. Aoki has achieved remarkable success, including winning the Best Pastry Chef Award in France. Sadaharu Aoki operates 9 directly managed shops (Marunouchi, Shinjuku Isetan, Tokyo Midtown, Shibuya Hikarie Tokyu Ren-gai, Yokohama Takashimaya, JR Nagoya Takashimaya, Karasuma Oike, Atelier Karuizawa, Mitsui Outlet Park Kisarazu). The Shinjuku Isetan store opened in 2006, located in the basement of the Isetan Shinjuku Main Store. The nearest station is a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Station (or a 2-minute walk from Shinjuku Sanchome Station). The store is open from 10:00 to 20:00, with irregular closing days (business hours subject to change without notice). It specializes in takeout. Popular menu items include macarons and canelés, with an order consisting of a 5-piece macaron set and a 6-piece bonbon chocolat set. The macarons, the shop's signature item, come in 10 flavors (matcha, strawberry, caramel sale, lemon, chocolate, raspberry, blackcurrant, sesame, pistachio, earl grey) with the 5-piece set containing matcha, chocolate, caramel sale, raspberry, and lemon. The macarons have a crispy exterior, a moist interior, a subtle sweetness, and are delicious when eaten chilled after being in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. The bonbon chocolat comes in 12 flavors (millefeuille, bamboo, wasabi, yuzu, Valencia, raspberry, sesame, caramel, coffee, lemon, strawberry, passion) with the 6-piece set containing millefeuille, bamboo, wasabi, yuzu, Valencia, and raspberry. They make for great souvenirs too!【Order】◇Macaron 5P 2,268 yen◇Bonbon Chocolat 6P 2,862 yen

【Not only macarons and chocolates, but also Andividual~fresh cakes are elegant and delicious, highly recommended♪】This time, after having a late lunch at "Buntokuyama" on the 7th floor restaurant street, my luck ran out... and I ended up buying a cake on a whim on my way back (laughs). Now, the cakes I bought this time are... ■ Sensuel 2P 3,316 yen (tax included) The word in French means "sensual". The mouthfeel of "crème chocolat au lait" is sweet, but the acidity of "jus de framboises" spreads refreshingly in the mouth. As you eat more, you can feel the layered flavors wonderfully. Originally, it was supposed to be a heart-shaped design until 2/14 'VALENTINE DAY', but it was presented in a different shape. ■ Transkeck au Fruit ? yen x2 A masterpiece made by soaking walnuts, prunes, figs, raisins, almonds, hazelnuts, and syrup-soaked orange peels in cherry brandy, and seasoning with cinnamon, anise, black pepper, and cloves. The alcohol is surprisingly strong, making it a dessert for adults. Thank you for the meal. #paris #pâtisserie #sadaharuaoki #isetan #shinjukusanchome #shinjuku # #tokyo #パリ #パティスリー #サダハルアオキ #伊勢丹 #新宿三丁目駅 #新宿区 #東京都

What I purchased was "Fondant au chocolat" - a baked confection made with chocolate from the Italian company "DOMORI," which Aoki-san loves dearly. It is made with 100% cocoa from Ecuador, giving it a refreshing aroma and rich flavor. It also includes sweet potato paste, white bean paste, honey, and almonds, all carefully baked together. When you put it in your mouth, you'll experience a moist texture along with the perfect acidity and deep flavor of the chocolate. If you warm it up a bit, the chocolate's smooth melt and fragrance will enhance the taste even more! The shape is also designed to resemble a cocoa pot, making it visually appealing. Bon appétit! Phew~.

Patisserie Sadaharu Aoki Paris, located in Paris, is a renowned pastry shop run by the famous Japanese pastry chef Sadaharu Aoki. Their canelés are top-notch, with a crispy exterior that I highly recommend. They also offer a variety of delicious sweets such as macarons and cakes. If you love canelés and haven't tried theirs yet, you should definitely check it out! #ShinjukuGourmet #ShinjukuEats #SadaharuAoki #SweetSpot #CaneléSpot #February2nd #22Eats

This time, I had a Christmas cake at "Patisserie Sadaharu AOKI Pari's" in Shinjuku Isetan. The Sapin Mondor cake, designed like a Christmas tree, had a delightful combination of bitter chocolate cream, almond cream baked with chestnut and cassis, creating a rich chocolate flavor that is irresistible to chocolate lovers. The hint of rum added a nice touch, and the tart crust at the bottom provided a delicious sweetness. The cake included chocolate macarons, chocolate, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, glaze, chocolate cream, almond cream, chestnuts, cassis, and tart crust, offering a variety of flavors in a small cake. Overall, it was a satisfying cake with rich flavors and beautiful design.【Sweets Received】- Sapin Mondor 3,348 yenSize: Approximately 12cm x 9.5cm x 3cm

Most likely, I think most people have heard of this shop, whether or not they have bought anything there, especially if they like sweets. To the average person, it might be familiar. Those who are a bit more knowledgeable would know it. Now, I bought some baked sweets as a souvenir and also got some for myself. The chestnut flavor is nice. The dough crumbled a bit, maybe because of me putting it in my bag, but the moment I opened it, I could smell the rum. It's not chestnut, but a Japanese confectionery style, which is nice. The sweetness is just right. The chestnut part is moist and oh, it's delicious. As for sweets lovers, places like Oyamadai and Jiyugaoka are like a separate category. If you mention Ryoko or Ucchi, people might think, "Oh, you know a lot!" When it comes to chocolates, mentioning Bernard Cassion would elicit a similar reaction, while mentioning Mori Yoshida might make people think, "Oh, you're a regular." And if you bring up David Capy or Lillian, people might wonder, "Are they rivals?" (Note: This is just the biased opinion of Hanadan.)

It's always crowded here. I arrived close to closing time, but there were still quite a few cakes left, so I decided to purchase some. The strawberry cake had a refreshing taste with strawberries as the main focus. It was a bit pricey, but delicious. The lemon tart, on the other hand, was just average. I like the strong acidity, but it felt a bit too sweet and overwhelming. Thank you for the meal.

"The Fondant Ayamurasaki is delicious! It's a sweet potato dessert with a vibrant purple color made from Miyazaki prefecture's Ayamurasaki sweet potatoes. The sweet potato paste is combined with white bean paste and honey to capture the rich flavor of the sweet potato. The moist and gentle texture of the cake reveals a beautiful purple color when cut open. Enjoy the soft and melting texture along with the rich flavor of Ayamurasaki."

This is a store of Sadaharu Aoki located in Shinjuku Isetan. A well-known Western confectionery store that needs no introduction. I quite like Sadaharu Aoki's sweets, so I occasionally visit here. On this day, I was in the basement of Shinjuku Isetan on a weekday night, so I decided to buy some snacks. I bought Florentine, chocolate pound cake, fruit cake pound cake, and fondant au chocolat. The Florentine has a crumbly bottom crust, which is a type I prefer a little firmer. The taste is delicious though. The fondant au chocolat is in the shape of a madeleine and is overall moist. It's not as intense as the name suggests, more on the fluffy side. I wonder if it would be even more delicious if warmed up? Both pound cakes are quite moist and juicy. They are like pound cakes soaked in syrup. It may be a bit of a surprise for those imagining a fluffy pound cake, but I like the juicy texture, so I found them delicious.

I was walking past a shop in Isetan Shinjuku B1 where colorful macarons and croissants were displayed beautifully, but for some reason, I was drawn to the canelés and stopped. I hesitated to buy just one, but then the staff said, "Feel free to buy just one!" so I decided to give it a try. ◆ Canelé Nature 324 yen I might like this canelé! It's a bit bigger in size. The top is crispy, and the texture inside is soft and moist. It's slightly pudding-like. Sometimes canelés can be bitter, but this one was not at all! This shop might be a hidden gem. Thank you for the meal.

Last year, I received some chocolates and among them, Sadaharu Aoki's Chocolons were delicious. So, I purchased them for White Day and enjoyed them together. This White Day limited edition product came in a box of 6 for 4,000 yen, which was quite luxurious. The decorations were beautiful, the flavors were rich, and each had a unique taste, providing a variety of options. I tried the matcha flavor, which was rich and delicious. One of the advantages of these macarons is that they can last for a while, which is appreciated.

I had been wanting to eat this for a long time, and my family bought it for me. The appearance alone lifted my mood. Each one had a nice level of sweetness without being too overpowering, and the sweetness didn't linger. They were all really delicious! I especially loved the chocolate one. The small macarons were cute and tasty too. These cakes are perfect for treating yourself, and I definitely want to go buy some for myself next time.

It's a large canelé. The outside is crispy and the inside is soft. It seems to focus on expressing the deliciousness of the ingredients, as there isn't much taste or aroma of liquor. I probably won't visit again. Maybe I won't buy chocolate either... Canelé au Chocolat and Canelé Pistachio.
