Chocolate tart is rich yet not too sweet. Very nice! Herb tea “Spice” is good too.

0706250019Dessert plate with nut souffle(in the cup) and chocolate souffle. The chocolate is not as rich as I had expected, and the souffle is not that fluffy. Tried the other herb tea “Fruit”. I like “Spice” better. This place is a chocolatier and the menu offers chocolate chaud drink(about 1300yen) and you can also pick the chocolates from the showcase and eat in the cafe. Prepare to pay at least 2000yen for a dessert and a drink though. The shop is inside Shimaru building.

モンテ ビアンコ、¥500。ババ。
From two separate visits.
Monte Bianco. Italian version of Mont Blanc. Bottom is merengue, then chestnut paste, topped with a mountain of cream. Nice but….too sweet! Even the cream is sweetened. It is very big too. I only managed to eat half. Baba with lemon liquor.

カフェミスティ、¥1100。
Dessert plate with espresso-flavoured sorbet, ice-cream, mousse and semi-freddo in a cup shape. Not bad. Very strong espresso taste. Though it doesn’t look as nice as the picture in the menu…^^;;
Menu: 1, 2, 3.
