## Access Located on the B1 floor of Gransta Tokyo, within the Tokyo Station ticket gates, is "Caffarel Tokyo Station Gransta Store." It's conveniently located for those using Tokyo Station and is perfect for picking up souvenirs. ## Ambiance The store itself is on the smaller side, but the adorable chocolate and confectionery packages displayed draw the eye. The luxurious packaging lining the shelves makes it popular for gifts. The customer base is diverse, with a mix of tourists, businesspeople, and women. ## Menu & Review I tried the "Tokyo Gianduja Choco Pie, 4-piece set, 648 yen." * **Tokyo Gianduja Choco Pie** The pie crust is crispy and light, yet the rich gianduja cream flavor comes through strongly. The roasted hazelnuts and cocoa blend harmoniously, creating a sophisticated flavor that isn't overly sweet. It's a treat that chocolate lovers and gift recipients alike will appreciate. The fact that it's a limited-edition product only available at Gransta Tokyo adds to its appeal! ## Crowds While I was able to purchase it relatively smoothly on a weekday afternoon, it seems that the store gets crowded with tourists on weekends and evenings. Early mornings are recommended. ## Recommended Usage Perfect for those looking for souvenirs at Tokyo Station or a special gift. It's also ideal for those seeking a sophisticated chocolate dessert that isn't too sweet. Thank you for the delicious treat!

The gianduja cream encased in a crispy pie crust is a perfect blend of roasted hazelnuts and cocoa, offering a rich yet light and elegant flavor. The sweetness of the chocolate is subtle, leaving a light aftertaste. It's truly a dessert for adults. ○Other The "Tokyo Gianduja Chocolate Pie" is an exclusive product available only at Gransta Tokyo.

I purchased three Gianduja for 734 yen each. As mentioned in the reviews, the top layer is jiggly and the bottom chocolate layer is smooth, with a great texture and rich flavor. I was also interested in the shortcake, so I'll look forward to trying it next time. The staff was kind and explained everything to me, making for a pleasant shopping experience. I think it would be a great gift.

They really highlight the Gianduja Pie, which is only available at Tokyo Station. It was smaller than I expected. Since it's hazelnut-based, the Gianduja might be a bit light in flavor as a chocolate.

Located at the very front of the left-hand side of the passageway leading to the Yaesu Underground Central Exit, this is a chocolate specialty store. The Tokyo Janduja Choco Pie, exclusive to Tokyo Station, is not only small in size but also has a strong hazelnut flavor, which deviated from the sweet chocolate I had imagined. While the Janduja cake is a masterpiece, the aforementioned product should be renamed to Tokyo Janduja Pie.
