<Store Information> Edelweiss, which operates Vita Mer (chocolate) and Antenor (western confectionery), is located in Ginza Mitsukoshi B1F, in front of Antenor. It is recommended to make your purchase early as some items may sell out by the evening.
<Impressions> Visit on August 20, 2023 (Sunday) at 10:00 a.m. Noix de Beurre at Ginza Mitsukoshi's bread and sweets floor stands out with a long line that it forms. For those seeing the line for the first time, they may wonder what kind of shop it is. The shop sells only baked sweets, with the standout being Financier. Despite always giving up upon seeing the long line, I happened to arrive in front of Ginza Mitsukoshi just before opening time. So, I decided to line up early and head to the B1F where the shop is located. Despite walking quite fast, there were already about 10 groups in front of me in line! For those planning to buy, I recommend challenging from the nearest entrance at the time of opening. While waiting in line, you fill out the number of items you want to purchase on a sheet. The reasons for the slow-moving line become apparent while waiting in line. ・Each person buys a lot of items ・Time-consuming packaging that comes with it The line for purchases does not move easily... Finally, I was able to buy after 30 minutes. (I think this is fast enough) ▪️Baked Financier ¥238 ▪️Baked Financier (Pistachio) ¥378 ▪️Galette Bretonne ¥357 ordered these 3 items [Baked Financier] I brought it home and reheated it immediately. The smell of butter overflowing from the oven. The name of the store, noix de beurre, apparently means "small lump of butter" in French, and as the name suggests, it is appetizing. When you take a bite, the outside is crispy, and the inside is moist. The rich butter flavor overwhelms. [Baked Financier (Pistachio)] I think the seasonal limited edition Financier is really recommended at Noix de Beurre. This time it was pistachio. It has more richness than the normal Financier, making it even more delicious. I still prefer this over the normal one. [Galette Bretonne] The outside is crunchy, the inside is hollow. When you bite into it, the butter oozes out. The subtle salt enhances the richness even further. While you could eat many Financiers, this one has a satisfying bite even with just one. All three items had a good buttery flavor and were delicious, but if asked if I would line up to buy them again, honestly, I would say "not to that extent...". There are many delicious shops now, so considering the time it took to purchase and the cost performance, I might not revisit. However, the person who purchased in front of me bought a large amount as a gift, and the recipient would surely be delighted. I would like to aim for a different seasonal limited edition next time.
