"A forest suddenly appearing in the heart of the city, the cafe nestled within it had been on my radar for a while. I finally visited for their mango-themed afternoon tea. The interior isn't as spacious as I expected, but the lush greenery visible through the large windows is breathtaking, making you forget you're indoors. You first choose a welcome"

"This Kyoto-based cacao and chocolate specialty store offers drinks, chocolates, and gelato made with freshly squeezed cacao! I ordered the My Cacao Latte (¥594), Cacao Sand (¥250 with milk), and Truffle (¥363 with plain). The cacao latte had a refreshing, tangy flavor that was interesting, and both the cacao sand and truffle were smooth and melted "

"I was introduced to Aman's sweets through a gift. I thought, "Of course Aman's sweets are delicious!" and ate them. They were delicious. The tiramisu had a very refined flavor, and the alcohol that you often smell was completely absent. The cream puff was topped with a hat-like pastry, and I scooped out the cream to eat it. Delicious. The meringue "

"I enjoyed a delightful experience at this establishment. I savored a selection of treats, including a black sugar yokan (sweet bean paste confection) with tea from Makurazaki and bamboo, followed by a small serving of ibriga-kko (fermented salted salmon), pickled fuki (butterbur), and a miniature sweet summer orange confection. My companion opted f"

"The building is located in Otemachi, and it's the Mitsui Sumitomo Trust Bank building with its distinctive trademark. The restaurant is tucked away in the deepest part of the basement food court, making it a hidden gem. Even on a Saturday afternoon, I expected it to be empty, but surprisingly, it was always full. The former smoking room has been re"

"I stopped by this shop while transferring at Otemachi Station. There were so many adorable chiffon cakes lined up, it was hard to choose! I ended up getting the strawberry chiffon. The staff also told me that their pudding was on sale for 50 yen, so I bought that too. The chiffon cake was fluffy and had a strawberry custard cream inside, making it "

"The building is old, so there are few stairs leading down to the basement. On the other hand, it's directly connected to Otemachi Station via an underground passage, making it very convenient."

"The short galette from Cado, a popular spot in the neighborhood, is so delicious I can't even describe it. It's simply amazing and disappeared in a flash. It's got that perfect combination of crunch, crispness, and moistness. It pairs perfectly with milk. It's just so delicious. It's the kind of treat that everyone loves when you bring it as "

"I visited around 5 PM on a weekend. I was able to enter and purchase right away. The popular mango pudding was sold out, so I couldn't buy it. This time, I ordered the Strawberry Shortcake (¥1080) and the Strawberry Custard Tart (¥940). The cakes were beautifully packaged, and the box itself had a luxurious hotel feel. The cakes were definitely swe"

"The service is excellent, the food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the view is amazing. There's nothing to complain about. For lunch, if you arrive after 1:00 PM, they offer a small dessert service."

"I stumbled upon this shop while grabbing coffee in Otemachi. The mochi was absolutely to my liking, with a soft and not overly sweet filling. It's a Japanese confectionery that even those who love sweets will enjoy! The anko filling is like a rare cheesecake!! I want to try the other mochi flavors too! Definitely a repeat visit!"

"The L'Abeille store is located in the basement of the New Marunouchi Building, directly connected to Tokyo Station's underground and the Marunouchi Line's Marunouchi Station. I've purchased honey from them several times. This time, I tried their honey drink, which they make in-store. The menu features honey combined with lemon, raspberry, ginge"

"It's located on the first floor of Shin-Marunouchi Building. The elegant and beautiful staff members provided me with attentive service. They even saved the last one for me. I fell for the older gentleman who helped me. It might be nice to go there just to chat with the staff. I'll definitely go back."

"【Marunouchi Oazo】 This shop has locations throughout the area and its appearance suggests a long history. While it offers standard sweets, there's a sense of freshness in the products and packaging. I stopped by when I saw some cute sweets. They were mitarashi dango, but with mitarashi an filling. I encountered them in Osaka and bought some,"

"A bakery and cafe located in the back of the first floor of Shinmaru Building. Apparently, the main store is in Hakodate. Baked goods and macarons are lined up in the display window, looking delicious!! Tea is also sold on the shelves. It seems that drinks are also available for takeout, but I was tired so I used the eat-in service. I ordered"

"A delightful shop packed with prepared dishes, bento boxes, and carefully selected ingredients. I love the concept. The ingredients are fun. They have a great selection of dried goods, refrigerated items, sweets, and other unique finds. I wonder if the buyer is a champion or just has a unique taste! The staff is also very kind and welcoming, makin"
