Hyperlocal Tokyo

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 line. This was my first time waiting. But since there were 3 people at the order window, the wait wasn't too bad! By the way, at this time of day, everything except the freshly baked financiers was already sold out. I wanted to try the seasonal financier, the chestnut financier... 😭 It's great to bake them in the oven! The butter spreads out beautifully. Thank you for the delicious treat!◎

When someone asked me "What should I get as a souvenir at Ginza Mitsukoshi?", I said "Surprise me!" and they gave me this financier and cookie tin (so happy!). I tried it for the first time, and it was the best financier I've ever had. It was incredibly delicious! The next day, it became a little more moist, which made it even better!!

This is a famous shop in the Mitsukoshi Ginza store known for its financier. This time, I received a gift set of their financier and madeleine maman. I often enjoy their financier, but this was my first time trying the madeleine maman. It is characterized by its rich honey aroma and deep flavor. The subtle sourness and moist texture from the fermented butter and sour cream are also distinctive. When you take a bite, you can feel a sense of comfort and warmth. It is a masterpiece that brings out the flavor of each ingredient with a simple recipe. It is satisfying and has a good texture, making it perfect for gifts.

The freshly baked financier was absolutely delicious. I ate it the next day and it still had a wonderful aroma, so I highly recommend it. However, the Madeleine Maman was terrible. It had a strong fishy smell that made me worry about getting sick if I ate it.

A well-known shop for its financiers… They are still delicious! This time, my wife picked them up for takeout. She bought, of course… ◾️Plain financiers × 2 The roasted Spanish Marcona almond flour, burnt domestic fermented butter, and flavorful brown sugar create a toasty aroma. I saw the manufacturing process on Instagram stories… They bake them in a high-temperature oven for a short time, resulting in a moist inside and a crispy outside. This financier is best enjoyed plain. Its deliciousness is a well-known classic! ◾️Madeline Maman × 1 Honey, fermented butter, and sour cream are added for a subtle tang and a moist texture. There was only one left by the time we got home (lol)… This photo is after my wife and I split it in half (sweat). It’s nice that you can order these financiers in single units. The shop at ‘Shinjuku Isetan’ is terrible on weekends, with lines stretching across the aisle and down the stairs… This shop is relatively quick and easy to buy from. Thank you for the meal.
