Cream puffs, cakes, and crepes, little by little. I wonder if it's different from Kanda's Omiya. The cream puffs with today's expiration date are disappearing rapidly. I got cream puffs, peach cream puffs, and Mont Blanc cream puffs at half price. They were very delicious cream puffs! The Mont Blanc cream was rich and moist, with custard cream and light whipped cream. The chestnut was also moist. The light choux pastry was a satisfying size. My daughters enjoyed the peach and regular cream puffs as well. Thank you for the meal!

Ginza Omiya Confectionery, a 4-minute walk from Kayabacho Station, has been in business since 1965 and offers nostalgic pastries made without any additives. I stopped by to pick up some snacks. I bought the following items: White Peach Choux ¥650 and Fresh Cream Choux ¥270. It's peach season, and the White Peach Choux had a big peach inside with layers of cream and custard. It was juicy and delicious.

During this season, the cream puffs are filled with a faint salty-sweet sakura cream, cream, and custard cream in three layers. There are small red beans or adzuki beans scattered throughout. The cream puffs are also made with a three-layered cream filling of fresh chocolate cream.

I always thought that Omiyage Yokan was only in Kanda (or rather Awajicho). But it turns out they also have a branch in Ginza. It seems like the business was passed down to the younger brother of the previous owner, so there is a connection but also some differences. I remember the Ginza location used to cater to club-goers and open at night. Their cream puffs are famous. I happened to be in Nihonbashi this time for another reason, so I stopped by to buy some. This location is a regular cake shop that only offers takeout. The cream puffs looked delicious, with a variety of flavors like salted caramel, tiramisu, and Mont Blanc. However, I wanted to buy souvenirs for my colleagues, still had more traveling to do, and thought the crepes would be less likely to get ruined, so I bought one with melon. I also bought one with regular cream and strawberries, and another with chocolate cream and strawberries. The melon one is for me! I didn't realize they also sold crepes like this, I always thought they only had cream puffs and tarts. The crepe had a thin and soft skin, with sponge cake and cream inside. The cream was light and not too sweet. The melon was ripe and delicious. It was shaped like a triangle for easy handling. Nowadays, many shops charge extra for forks, so I was relieved that this one came with one. These crepes are perfect for eating at the office. I enjoyed it more than I expected, so now I'm curious about the Kanda location and their cream puffs!

"Whole white peach for 650 yen is lovely♡ On the other hand, half white peach cream puff for 550 yen. The whole one is a better deal but I have peaches at home so I'll go with the half. Let's also have a fig crepe sandwich♪ It's cheaper than the popular fruit sandwich."

March 2021, what a simple and delicious treat. The choux pastry is just right, not too soft or too hard. The cream is a two-layered custard with a yellow egg-like color, and a pure white cream, both with a perfect level of sweetness. The choux pastry is lightly dusted with powdered sugar for a stylish touch. My journey in search of the perfect choux cream puff may have come to an end. It seems like there is nothing that can surpass this one.

I wasn't planning to go, but I was tempted by the amazing smell of cream and ended up going in. I bought a cream puff and a cherry blossom cream puff. The sweetness of the cream was exquisite and delicious. The custard and whipped cream were incredibly tasty. I felt a retro and nostalgic taste. The shop didn't have any decorations, and it felt solid and unchanged from the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras. I wonder if it has always been like this here. I love this kind of atmosphere.

The pastry chef served us with great care. The Mont Blanc dessert had a delicious cream made with Japanese chestnuts. The leaf pie base was sturdy enough to be eaten by hand without worrying about it collapsing. The Kabocha squash cream puff had a mild sweetness.

"Omiya Western Confectionery Store" is a retro Western confectionery store located in Kanda Awajicho. Cakes, chocolates, bread, and more are lined up. 1. Features of Omiya Western Confectionery Store One of the features is its timeless and orthodox style. They strive to create items that customers will continue to love. Another feature is that everything is homemade. The chef personally goes to the market to select fruits for the ingredients. A third feature is that when dining in, you must always order a free drink. 2. Popular item at Omiya Western Confectionery Store: "Shortcake" If you check out Omiya Western Confectionery Store's Instagram, you'll see this cake almost everywhere. But it's understandable. It has a decoration cake-like appearance in the showcase. Despite its size, it has a casual feel and you can't help but think, "It's a bit big, but I can eat it." The whole strawberry is sandwiched and placed on the sponge cake, so wherever you take a bite, you get a taste of strawberry. It has a modest yet charming appeal, like an old-fashioned Japanese woman. 3. Free Drink for Dining In When dining in, a drink is automatically included. There are four types of juices, hot tea with tea bags, and coffee from a coffee maker. The juices are homemade as mentioned earlier, squeezed from fruits. If they have melon juice, be sure to try it! And there's also soup, a vegetable and meat consommé. Eating vegetables before the cake, and having warm soup to soothe your stomach, reduces the guilt of indulging in sweets! 4. Interior of Omiya Western Confectionery Store The store has a high ceiling, with both counter and table seats being tall. If you're dining alone, you'll be seated at the counter. The retro vibe of the high ceiling, light fixtures, and unchanged patterns on packaging and drink cups create a calming atmosphere. They also offer popular gift items like a ¥3000 fruit punch in a bottle or chocolates.

Recently, the variety of items available for takeout has decreased, but it seems that you can still get roll cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. I purchased a peach cupcake for 550 yen. The cupcake had a peach half placed on top with sponge cake and cookies underneath. Cupcake sweets tend to be a bit cloudy, but it's nice to indulge in treats from famous shops once in a while. Each cupcake was delicious without any flaws.

I visited in the early evening on a regular day. This place is like a sister store to the Omiya Western Confectionery Store in Ginza. They no longer sell individual cakes here, so I decided to try their affordable roll cake and mini choux creams (custard and caramel, 6 pieces). I brought the choux creams as a gift to a friend's house the next day, and they were very happy with them. The choux creams had a moist pastry filled with plenty of custard cream, satisfying both the heart and the stomach. The roll cake I enjoyed at home. It had a beautiful egg-colored sponge with a slightly firm cream and sweet-sour strawberries inside. It was a nostalgic and classic roll cake that was light and fluffy. It was a simple yet well-made treat that disappeared in no time.

- Simple Western-style sweets made with crepe dough or sponge cake are delicious. - A shop where simple Western-style sweets made in the back kitchen are displayed in the showcase without any decorations. - Various touchless payment options are available, making it convenient.

Shine Muscat Tart: Crumbly tart! Fig Choux Cream: Sweet fig flavor! Got some Amaretto almond slices!

I tried the tart before the peach season ended. The tart crust was delicious! Persimmons were also available. They were huge even when cut in half! The custard cream was also delicious, even though there was only a little bit.

The visually appealing persimmon cream puff convinced me to buy it for 300 yen. The custard seems to have a hint of orange color, perhaps due to the persimmon in the cream? The leaf pie stayed crispy and crunchy even after bringing it home.

I purchased a pack of 6 cream puffs for 780 yen before the consumption tax increase. I accidentally left them at work, where they sat at room temperature for a day. When I finally remembered and brought them home on April 1st, a colleague jokingly asked if it was an April Fools' prank. I explained that it was not intentional, but I took responsibility for forgetting to bring them home earlier. Over the weekend, I left the remaining 2 cream puffs in the fridge, past their expiration date by 4 days. The puff pastry had become dry and hard due to being left in the fridge for so long. The custard cream was light, while the caramel cream was rich. Despite the texture issue caused by my neglect, the balance of pastry and cream was still delicious, highlighting why it's a popular menu item. Thank you for the meal. [Recent Update] I apologize for any inconvenience, but I wanted to share my current situation. At the time of this review, I was maintaining my weight. However, I have since lost 6kg (due to a 17-day hospital stay with a liquid diet). It's tough being in the hospital without being able to drink alcohol or eat solid food. I knew what to expect, but I wish I could at least have a cup of coffee or even just water. I can't do what I like, so what's the point! I have now achieved 20 days of sobriety, which feels strange. I miss the simple pleasures and can't wait to be back to normal. I can't wait to have a beer after being released!
