Tart Shop

Filed under: — Andy @ 9:25 pm

My friend, like I, loves sweets, so last time we meet she took me to a very famous tart shop in Ometesando. It was a nice day and a nice walk to the tart shop, but once we got there, even though it was a weekday, we put our names on a list to get in. As you can see from the picture, the person at the front writing down the names had a green headband and as I noticed a green watch. When I pointed these things out to her she confessed that she also liked the color green. :o Anyway, after about 30 more minutes of walking around the area we came back. This tart shop is not only famous but extremely expensive. One small slice of a tart costs more than 600 yen or $6. Tea is also in that same range for a one person pot. I picked out 2 kinds of tarts to eat and my friend picked out 1, we each also got some tea to go with the tarts. Surprisingly, when the tarts arrived there were not 3 but 4… The friend I made who took my name at the front gave us a slice of chocolate tart, which is her favorite. So the tarts we ate were a chocolate tart, persimmon tart, pear-caramel tart, and Japanese pumpkin tart. They were all amazingly delicious, the perfect combination of richness, sweetness, and taste. I will have to go back again.
