Pâtisserie Atelier de Rêve Boutique Mont-Blanc (ブティックモンブラン)

New open cake shop in Ikebukuro yeah! Marron mont blanc, 450yen. With coffee, +230yen. It is marron cream, on top of fresh cream, on top of marron, on top of a tart with pastry crumbs around. Not a big fan of meringue so glad that there isn’t any. The taste of the marron doesn’t stand out but overall quite good. The tart is slightly sticky, I like!

丹波栗のモンブラン、650円。
“Tanba” chestnut mont blanc. I can’t resist anything labelled “limited sale”…^^;; The chestnut is much richer than the Marron mont blanc I had last time. Though instead of a very nice tart, the bottom part of this one is a slightly soggy biscuit.

紫芋のモンブラン。フランボワーズのモンブラン。
Taro Mont Blanc. Framboise Mont Blanc.
The taro cream is good, with cream and chocolate sponge cake underneath. The framboise one is a bit sweet, with sponge cake, cream and raspberry mousse underneath.

Okinawa soba lunch set. The soba is chewy, the soup is light-tasting, and the simmered belly pork is soft. I like the sticky texture of the shima-tofu. Only the brown rice is a bit soggy. There is a bottle of chilli on the table which is soaked in awamori, and I accidentally put too much of it into the noodles…my god it is so HOT!! ^^;; The restaurant is in a department store and seems to be a chain, but it serves lunch until 5pm which is quite handy.
