Treat Yourself To Some Afternoon Teatime In Tokyo

19.June.2019 | FEATURES / FOOD

Hello, my name is Banako and I am a MOSHI MOSHI Friend!

Today I’m going to introduce you to a café called Chansonnier Acorite, which is located close to Mejiro Station; an area bustling with life. Just a minute walk from the station and you will be surrounded by European interior decor and utensils, and gorgeous cakes that are the talk of the town!

To get there, exit the station, turn left and go down the stairs and you will immediately find it.

 

I ordered the cake set that even allows you to choose your own plate. (¥1,280)

This set comes with one cake of your choice and a drink. Don’t forget to choose your own plate!

It was so hard to choose from these beautiful plates, yet having a choice definitely sparked delight. These plates were specially selected and have been imported all the way from Europe.

You can see the delicious cakes through the showcase. From there, you can choose which one you want. The cakes vary depending on the season and time of day.

I ordered the most popular cake and drink combination; the Rose Chiffon Cake and a Hot Tea.

 

The Rose Chiffon Cake looked beautiful and tasted just as good as it looked. The fluffy sponge cake was topped with some moderately sweet cream and faintly fragranced rose petals.

 

This could be easily consumed by anyone ー even those who don’t really like sweet desserts. This place is full of fun little details, such as the cute teacup that matched the plate I chose and the unique and playful design of the teapot.

After finishing the delicious meal, I had kiwi and strawberry tea. It had a refreshing yet slightly sour taste and was very easy to finish.

Besides cakes, there is also a breakfast menu, and a beef stew set menu of which only 20 meals are served per day. Recently, the café has been creating original collaboration menus by cooperating with models and illustrators.

 

This place is both close to the station and is loved by many regular customers. If you are looking for comfortable spot where you can relax for hours, look no further. 

 

Come heal yourself and relax with some delicious afternoon tea at Chansonnier Acorite.

  • Report: Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s Tasty Time in Gastropolis Kobe – Sweets Edition

    03.December.2022 | FEATURES / FOOD / SPOT

    Kobe is filled with famous sightseeing spots like the nostalgic Ijinkan neighborhood and port. The city is packed with fashionable shops and restaurants and is highly regarded for its selection of tasty sweets!

    The port city, with over 150 years of history, has fostered a unique and diverse culinary culture.

     

    Recently, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu began starring in a series of promotional videos for the Gastropolis Kobe project. The artist traveled to the city to partake in plenty of delicious treats, and MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON went along for the ride! Here are some of the singer’s favorite spots around town.

    Kobe, known as a city where East meets West, is lined with sweets shops that are unique to the area.

     

    The tea salon TOOTH TOOTH Dekoboko Sabo opened in 2019 in the Kobe City Museum and offers a menu that mixes Western food and sweets with tea and ingredients from traditional Japanese cuisine. Kyary ordered the Dekoboko Sabo Afternoon Tea Set, a collection of western sweets blended with the essence of traditional Japanese flavors. Guests are invited to enjoy their tea and sweets in a one-of-a-kind space filled with Meiji period flare and retro Western furniture. Those interested will need to make a reservation, so be sure to remember the next time you’re in Kobe.

     

    TOOTH TOOTH Decoboco Sabo

    Address: 24 Kyomachi, Chuo Ward, Kobe (Inside the Kobe City Museum)

    Hours: 9:30-17:30 (Last Order at 16:30) 

    Closed Mondays

    Official Site: https://toothtooth.com/restaurant/decoboco-sabo

    The next stop was Kobe Nankin-machi, one of the three major Chinatowns in Japan. Kobe MILK is known nationwide for its Apricot Pudding, which is made with local ingredients. The raw apricot pudding is mixed with milk brought from the foot of Mt. Rokko and other ingredients from Hyogo Prefecture. Of course, Kyary ordered some, and was amazed by its fluffy texture. You can only enjoy it in Kobe–also, the shop sells other puddings mixed with seasonal fruits, so don’t miss those either!

     

    Kobe MILK

    Address: Shin-Motomachi Building 1F (1 Motomachi-dori, Chuo-ku, Kobe)

    Hours: Weekdays 9:30-19:00 / Weekends 9:30-19:30

    Official Site: https://kobe-milk.com

    For Kyary’s final stop, the singer visited the Moore House, a cafe located in a building with over 100 years of history. Guests are surrounded by greenery, and the Western-style building is incredibly elegant. The Strawberry Mille-feuille Kyary ordered was created by an expert patissier and based on the strawberry mille-feuille recipe from the legendary French restaurant Maxim’s de Paris in Ginza. A generous amount of custard cream complements the crispy pie crust and enhances the sweetness of the fresh strawberries. We’d recommend it with a glass of champagne–if you’re of age.

    Kitano Ijin-kan Moore House

    Address: 2-9-3 Kitanocho, Chuo-ku, Kobe

    Hours: 11:00-17:00
