Pâtisserie Salon de thé Amitié Kagurazaka

Easily accessible, being right in the middle of Tokyo in Shinjuku City, this Westen confectionery shop has won over the hearts of locals. Even though Pâtisserie Salon de thé Amitié, owned by chef Chie Mitani, is located in a competitive area with French shops all around, it has managed to stand out from the rest. A buttery aroma is prominent as soon as you step foot in the store. All the French pastries and desserts are extremely cost-effective, offering both takeout and eat-in services for their fresh cakes by the slice, baked goods, and pastries. Some named products include the Religieuse Rouge, which is a stacked-up sweet with framboise cream as a surprise flavor hidden in it; the Bananier, with chopped banana slices sandwiched in the middle of the chocolate tart; as well as seasonal products like the Coco Ananas which is made of pineapple and bananas and only available on the weekends in May. Pâtisserie Salon de thé Amitié is always full of surprises, coming up with creative edible works of art — all at fairly competitive prices for desserts.
