HARBS Cakes
Coming to Tokyo for a free trip, you must have seen this famous Tokyo dessert shop “HARBS Cake”. Their signature fresh cream fruit mille crêpes is really delicious. With fresh seasonal fruits sandwiched between six layers of crepes, the light and not greasy cream is the characteristic of HARBS. The taste is light and not too sweet, and it won’t be greasy after a long time. No wonder it is popular among women. Dessert lovers coming to Tokyo must try HARBS fruit mille crêpes!

Nakamura Tōkichi
Founded in 1854, Nakamura Tōkichi is the most representative matcha shop in Uji, and now you can also eat it at GINZA SIX, the largest commercial facility in Ginza! Matcha lovers must come and try their signature dishes: matcha kudzu jelly, matcha milk ice cream, matcha sundae, and experience the taste of a century-old tea shop.
Kamakura Teahouse Main Store
The cafe “Kandagawa Chaya” in Shibuya, which became popular due to the Tokyo cityscape seen from the window, has a traditional Japanese wooden building at its main store in Kandagawa. It is a popular shop where local housewives gather for afternoon tea and chat in line. The matcha is very good. My favorite is the “Matcha S’MORE Dessert”. Although the photo is not attractive, the shop roasts Granola biscuits with matcha ice cream, topped with marshmallows. Compared to the American way of just putting roasted marshmallows between biscuits, it has been upgraded with Japanese elements. The texture is crispy outside and soft inside, with marshmallows pulling strings, crispy sweetness of roasted sugar, and cool matcha. It is really a feast of taste and taste.

Le Souffle
When it comes to places to eat desserts in Tokyo, you can’t miss the famous Yoyogi Park, where the “Sweets Forest” with eight dessert shops is a great place to enjoy desserts and afternoon tea. Le Souffle, which is sold in Sweets Forest, is a store opened by pastry chef Harunobu Nagai after training in France. It has been open for more than 30 years and is now popular in Japan, known as “God’s Made Souffle”. The cake is very solid but has a soft and crisp texture. The feeling of melting inside is very happy.

Mihashi Main Store
Founded in Showa 23 (1948), Mihashi is located opposite Ueno Park, a popular sweet spot for the local elderly in Ueno. It sells various traditional Japanese ice cream. Their red bean paste uses red beans from Hokkaido’s Tokachi, and the konjac is made from Amami Oshima and Shizuoka Line coast’s Amamizu. Combined with Okinawa black sugar honey that goes well with food, it is not amazing, but a subtle Japanese taste.

bills Pancakes
From the “Bills Pancakes” in Australia, which is said to be the best breakfast in the world, there are branches in Ginza, Omotesando, Odaiba, and even Kamakura in the suburbs. The ricotta hotcakes are highly recommended, but this dish has polarized reviews because it is not like the normal pancakes. It has a soft and fluffy texture, and I love it.

Karel Capek & Shizuko Yamada’s Red Tea Specialty Store
Karel Capek Tea Shop is not a dessert shop as its name suggests, but a Japanese illustrator’s tea shop that collects teas from all over the world. However, their Kichijoji flagship store offers 6-fold, 10-fold, 15-fold milk tea and milk tea flavored ice cream, which are exclusive to the flagship store. After eating, I can only say that the ice cream is really delicious, delicious and super delicious, and the 10-fold milk tea is also a Japanese milk tea flavor, but the aroma is heavier, and the aftertaste in the mouth is very wonderful, highly recommended! ! !

Lang Hua Family Headquarters
Located in the 100-year-old “Namiha Kaisenyaki” in Azabu Juban, it is one of the three major Kaisenyaki stores in Tokyo. Their Kaisenyaki is really amazing! Although it looks like it’s burnt, the skin is crispy and the red bean filling inside is super delicious! It turns out that Hokkaido Tokachi’s red beans are used, and the red beans made for 8 hours have a high quality. I recommend it to people who don’t even eat red bean cakes, this one really falls in love at first bite.
