Hyperlocal Tokyo

Located in the Kakinoki-zaka district of Meguro, Tokyo, "Quatour" is a renowned sweets shop known for its exquisite pastries. They use carefully selected seasonal ingredients to create fresh and delicate petit gateaux, roll cakes, and other treats. Their popular "Ufu Pudding" and baked goods have been featured in various media outlets. The Ueno Ekueto branch offers unique panda-themed cakes and sweets, making them a perfect souvenir from Ueno. Not only are the flavors exceptional, but the cakes are also visually stunning, making it difficult to choose just one. I highly recommend their classic shortcake, Mont Blanc, mango pudding cake, and Ufu Pudding.

Today was my child's birthday, so I went to buy a panda cake. There were three cakes on the counter, and one of them had uneven frosting and didn't look very appealing. A clerk wearing glasses tried to force that cake on us, and we politely asked if we could exchange it for another one. However, the clerk was very rude and said, "You can't choose." We had no choice but to buy a birthday cake at another store next door. As a result, thanks to that clerk, all three panda cakes remained unsold until 10 pm.

I bought a cassis cake for my birthday. There are a lot of cream cakes, but this was a refreshing change and it was absolutely delicious! It had a pudding-like filling inside, and the balance with the sponge was perfect. It was truly delicious! ♡♡♡ The amaou cream cake looked amazing too, so I want to try that next time. Thank you for the delicious treat!

Lately, I've been reserving cakes from 'Quatres' for my friends quite often. They're so cute and vibrant with all the fruit. The taste is, of course, excellent. It's not overly sweet, more of an adult flavor. This time, I went with the chocolate orange. It was my first time trying it. The orange peel is in there, and it pairs so well with the chocolate. It was a big hit.

While the number of cake shops in train stations has been increasing, this one stands out as being of a considerably high level. The gap between the delicious appearance and the actual taste is minimal, making you want to try every item on the menu. The quality is truly impressive.
