Room For Cake - Niina's Shop-

[The Monkey] February 14, 2019 12:00

"Room For Cake" is located near Tsukiji Outer Market and Kachidokibashi, a corner of Tsukiji, which survived the war. That's just like a small cake shop in Paris "room for cake"? What a fashionable shop name! Then, when I asked Ina-san, a designer and cake decorator, she said that "sweets are different stomachs." It was a room in my stomach~

Niina's residence was Akashicho next door, and the shop was opened here three years ago, because the child is small. When I lived in Germany before, I went to France, and the shop is also an image of Paris.

The shop's recommendation is a refreshing cheesecake with a lemon named "Madam Junko" with the mother's name.

The sweets collection, this year's highlight is ...

[Nyan,] February 13, 2019 13:00

Speaking of Valentine's Day, I think the image of "sweet and sour" as "the day when a woman confesses to a man" was strong in the past, but recently it has been
・A woman rewards herself
・Women give each other (high quality) chocolate and other sweets.
・For some reason, men buy chocolates by women, and bags are also bought because of the rush.
・My uncle buys the chocolate he wants to eat at the event.
I feel that there is a wide variety of ways to enjoy and exploit while increasing the variety of flavors that are not only "sweet", such as "sweet".

For this reason, events to buy chocolates from all over the world are called "Sweets Collection" and "Salon de Chocolat" instead of "Valentine", and there are more options to keep up with the brand even if it is a fairly sweet party.

What is the focus of this season? "Ruby chocolate," right?

This is the new category of chocolate that appeared for the first time in 80 years following dark, milk and white.
Ruby chocolate is rare and delicate, so I visited the sweets collection at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store to try this ruby chocolate.

By the way, Godiva's first Asian store, famous for its luxury chocolate brand, is the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store (1972).
It may not come out, but it's a trivia.

First, I purchased "Yokan au Chocolat" with "Toraya". It is a product limited to the Paris store, and it is a taste of an adult with a mixture of rum and yokan.

Next, at the venue of the Sweets Collection, I ordered Pierre Marcolini soft serve ice cream. Combination of happiness that harmonizes rich aroma of cacao with gentle strawberry.

Speaking of Pierre Marcolini, it goes back to my memories of traveling to Belgium with my boss more than 20 years ago.
At that time, I don't think there was anything in Japan that would become a luxury chocolate market as it is now. Preliminary study Airplaneon business trips (?) "Is Neuhaus, Wittamer, Del Rey, etc. famous in Belgium (all are still famous)" I had gained a shallow knowledge, but the old streets ○ province I met in Belgium said, "Let's go to an up-and-coming chocolate patissier shop that won the chocolate championship," "Piermaruco" said. There were chocolates like jewels in the shop, but I think it was mainly sold in "blocks" units like large plate chocolates.


Next is the real ruby chocolate ... I went to buy Del Rey ruby chocolate that I was aiming for ..., why?
It's sold out! ! (Other brands were sold out all the way.)
Perhaps because of its rarity, it is even more expensive even in a high-class chocolate group, so I read a sweet saying, "It will not be sold out in a rubble."

Although the set of ruby chocolate "only" was sold out, I purchased a Peter buyer who sold a set containing ruby chocolate. Collaboration of sourness unique to fruits like berry and sweetness coming later. This is a gem that you want to eat more. Will it take some time to become a little more common?

(In addition, we purchased premium wheat chocolate etc. You can enjoy a variety of flavors. Domestic wheat is also a nice point.)
mugichoko.jpgMany other brands, a variety of ways of enjoying, taste, sight, smell, hearing, and touch are elaborated enough to mobilize as much as possible, and the more you know, the deeper you notice.


The "French Blend" of Miyakoshiya Coffee, which is located at the same Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, is highly recommended as a coffee that goes well with chocolate.
Needless to say, I enjoyed chocolate while enjoying a slightly darker French blend.
