  • I was pretty disappointed by my visit to this shop. This was supposed to be one of Tokyo's top rated pastry shops, and I made a special trip out to Daikanyama to try their confections.

    And they ranged from average to mediocre. What a pity. The bockstock was well made, if kind of boring. They toasted it before bringing it to the table, so it was nice and warm.

    The "fantasy" cake, unfortunately, was an ill-conceived dream. It combined dark-caramel buttercream with a raspberry gelee, fruit cream, booze and tons of other stuff. None of it added up, and the buttercream hardened, making it unpleasant.

    Who knows, maybe some of their other stuff is better?
