"Located right in front of you after exiting Ginza Station on the Hibiya Line, A5 exit. The shop is on the 7th floor, so it might be a bit hard to find. There is a sign in front of the elevator on the first floor, and you need to make an online reservation in advance to enter the shop. You will receive an email notification when your time slot arriv"

"A classic, long-established coffee shop! It's a historic coffee shop that makes you think only a select few could have frequented it in the past. The revolving door is a famous feature. I visited around 2:00 PM on a weekday and was told there was a one-hour wait. There was a line going up the stairs to the second floor, with the end of the line b"

"I visited on a weekday morning, and it was quite busy. As expected from the location, the interior is stylish, as seen in everyone's photos. Some cafes offer passion tea when decaf takes time, while others don't. This one did, so I'd give the service 4 stars. The second floor seating is a bit cramped due to its unusual shape."

"Open from 8 am, the cafe has a spacious interior, perfect for enjoying a leisurely morning. The charming female staff provided kind and hospitable service, making for a wonderful start to the day. As I'm visiting from overseas, I won't be able to come often, but I'll definitely stop by again when I'm in Ginza. I was delighted when they complimented"

"The shop has a retro and calming atmosphere! ✨ The clientele was mostly female groups. I was there for the Japanese chestnut Mont Blanc🎵 It was incredibly rich! The whipped cream wasn't too sweet and paired perfectly with the meringue base!! The tableware was also stylish and exciting. All the coffee is drip-brewed, a genuine European style with a "

"A delightful and relaxing spot offering delicious ginger ale, vegetable juice, and smoothies. The ginger ale, in particular, has a strong ginger flavor that is truly enjoyable. Their ice cream is also delicious."

"Limited-time-only corn bread that you have to wait in line for! I visited the "Aoyama Ginza Mitsukoshi Store" directly connected to Ginza Station. Arriving around 5:30 PM on a weekday, there was a considerable crowd. A few of the limited-time-only corn breads (sold from 5 PM) were left, so I was able to snag one before they sold out. It took a lit"

"I visited around 5 PM on a holiday. There were 5 groups ahead of me (about a 5-minute wait). 《Order》 ♢Freshly baked Financier 238 yen x 2 I used to buy these often as a dessert after lunch, but it's been a while since I last came! This time, I bought them as a small souvenir. I hate waiting in line, so I always bought them when there wasn't a"

"Jean-Paul Hévin, which opened in June 2023 on the second basement floor of Mitsukoshi Ginza, is known for its delicious macarons. I visited to purchase some. I bought an 8-piece macaron box (¥2,916). The macarons have a subtle sweetness, allowing you to savor the flavors of the ingredients. They have a light, chewy texture that is addictive. The 8 "

"Their cakes are incredibly popular, and there are always lines at every store. The Mitsukoshi Ginza store is especially crazy, I think! 😂 This time, I tried their baked goods! Conclusion! They have a high-quality feel, which is great!!! However, the taste is still like their cakes. It can't compare to the impact of their cakes, but the quality "

"A delightful treat perfect for gifts! "Baum Spitz" is a classic German confection. It's a bite-sized baumkuchen coated in Swiss sweet chocolate. The fluffy baumkuchen is cut into bite-sized pieces and generously coated in chocolate. The chocolate is crisp and delicious right out of the refrigerator. It's also delicious when the chocolate softens "

"Perhaps because it was the three-day weekend after New Year's, there was a longer line than usual. I really like their green shiso-flavored ohagi, which is refreshing and light, unlike other ohagi. This time, I also bought some spring-themed sweets like flower-shaped mochi, dango, and sakura mochi."

"I used to subscribe to the Dalloyau macaron subscription service. For ¥1000 a month, you get one macaron every day. (However, the macarons around Valentine's Day are given on different days.) Since macarons usually cost around ¥300 each, I think it's a great deal. I usually choose classic flavors like pistachio, vanilla, chocolate, and raspbe"

"It's located in the basement of Ginza Mitsukoshi. This place became famous for its Dōjima Roll, but personally, I really love their slender fruit rolls. Although it originated in Dōjima, Osaka, it seems they now have stores from Hokkaido in the north to Hakata in the south, and even in Korea, China, and Hong Kong."
