I had pistachio and mascarpone caramel gelato at Piccolo, with a gourmet cone topped with hazelnut and chocolate. The sweetness was just right, the rich aroma was wonderful, and the pistachio flavor in my mouth was divine. The cone was coated in milk chocolate and sprinkled with hazelnuts, a double dose of satisfaction. The price was not unreasonable. This was the most premium ice cream I've ever had, incomparable to any other. I could feel the care that went into the ingredients. Thank you for a truly delightful experience.

Even though it's only June, the heat was over 30 degrees Celsius, and I couldn't take it anymore, so I stopped by for some ice cream. I ordered raspberry and strawberry, but the raspberry was especially rich and delicious. It's a bit slow-moving, so there's a wait, but I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to eat delicious gelato. Thank you for the delicious treat!

I stopped by Venchi, an Italian chocolate shop located in the Nihonbashi Takashimaya Shopping Center. They are more famous for their gelato than their chocolate, and the Ginza store always has a long line. This time, there was no line, and I was able to order after waiting for only two groups. First, you go to the register and decide how many scoops of gelato you want, whether you want a cone or a cup, and pay. Then, you go to the gelato counter and choose your flavors. I ordered a cone with two flavors: Mango Tiramisu The tiramisu was on top, and it was creamy and blended well. The espresso and mascarpone cheese flavors were refreshing. The mango was on the bottom, and it had a rich mango sweetness that tasted like it was made from real fruit pulp.

I visited "Venchi" in Nihonbashi on a weekend afternoon. I had to wait in line for a bit, but I was able to purchase some gelato. I chose two flavors, and both were rich and delicious. I want to try different flavors next time. Thank you for the meal!

I went to Nihonbashi around 11 am on a weekday to buy a gift. I went to a chocolate shop in the basement of Takashimaya, which has a very cute exterior. The chocolates are from Italy, and they sell a variety of gifts. The gift box of 5 chocolates cost 2379 yen, which isn't cheap... but they were very beautiful and the recipient was delighted. I tried one with hazelnuts, and it was rich and delicious.
