黄色のたぬき
This is a Western confectionery shop located in Tokyo Station. The Gransta store of "Audrey," a popular strawberry sweet by Plézir Co., Ltd., is located in Tokyo Station. The store has a smaller selection compared to Takashimaya, but it is convenient for buying souvenirs in Tokyo Station. The store opened in April 2019 and is located on the basement 1st floor of Gransta in Tokyo Station. I visited in the afternoon with no lines. Some items were sold out, but there was sufficient stock of Gracia (milk). The staff seemed busy but provided good service. I purchased the following item:
- Gracia (milk) (8 pieces, 1,166 yen): A confection made with Langue de Chat dough, freeze-dried strawberries, and buttercream rolled like a bouquet. Each piece is bite-sized. The texture was crispy with a sweet and sour flavor from the dried strawberries and buttercream. It was tasty, but the taste was as expected. It has a good presentation and is lightweight for easy carrying. It also has a long shelf life of 7 weeks, making it convenient as a souvenir.
Ingredients: Chocolate (domestically made), liquid egg white, wheat flour, butter, sugar, shortening, glucose, dried strawberries, almond powder/emulsifier, flavoring (contains wheat, eggs, milk, soybeans, almonds in some parts).
