Hyperlocal Tokyo

Tokyo Tulip is a sweet treat I discovered recently, and it's perfect for souvenirs. It's undeniably stylish, visually speaking! The petals are made of cookies, and the cream is in the center, making it look just like a real tulip. The cookies tend to crumble easily, which is a bit of a drawback. Be careful when carrying them around.

My friend asked me to get them a souvenir, so I picked up some treats from Tokyo Tulip Rose's Rose Garden. Of course, I bought some for myself too! Their sweets are always so adorable. The colors are lovely, and the aroma when you open the package is so uplifting. It was the perfect treat for a tiring day. It was worth the wait in line! Thank you for the delicious treats.

This is apparently one of the popular sweets at Tokyo Station. I happened to be passing by, so I bought some! Even though it was around 3:00 PM on a weekday, there was a line of about 10 people at the Tokyo Station Yaesu Central Ticket Gate. The company is the Gin no Budou Group, which also operates Tokyo Banana. This is apparently produced by Mr. Rihito Kanai, who has worked at the Hyatt Regency and other places. This time, I got the standard Tulip Rose 4-piece set (around ¥900). I had it as a snack at the office. The petals are made of langue de chat, and inside is whipped cream. When you put it in your mouth, the overlapping langue de chat crumbles beautifully, and the cream inside combines with it, making it not only a good texture but also not too sweet and quite delicious! When I gave it to the women in the office, they said, "Oh, it's so cute!" and it was well-received. It would be perfect as a souvenir for a business trip, wouldn't it? Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a long line. I think the Tulip Rose is definitely worth trying once!

I was looking for a unique souvenir from Tokyo and decided to buy this. I chose it for its beautiful packaging and the colorful appearance of the sweets. My business associates were very happy with it. It's located near the Yaesu Central Exit.

I've purchased the Berry, Passion Mango, and Caramel Nut set a few times, so this time I bought the new Chocolatier. The can is very cute. It wasn't too sweet and was delicious, but personally, I like Passion Mango the best. There was also a limited-time Mont Blanc, but I didn't buy it this time. There are stores in Yokohama, Nagoya, and Osaka besides Tokyo, so it might not be considered a Tokyo souvenir, but if you're coming from an area without a store, I think it would be a good souvenir.
