Yatsudoki

Many people single out the apple pie at Yatsudoki, praising its apple flavour and light texture without finding it overly sweet. Some mention its generous size, while others say it does not feel too heavy. It could suit anyone looking for the satisfaction of a baked treat without too much sweetness. The apple pie may be the main draw, but there are also chestnut and seasonal pies to try. Some people have enjoyed the chestnut pie, while others have returned for the combination of pie pastry and gently sweet potato filling.

For something with cheese, the soft-centred gâteau fromage is another notable choice. It has been described as rich and meltingly soft, offering a smooth texture that contrasts with the lighter apple pie. Alongside the cakes in the display case, visitors have reported seeing baked treats such as madeleines and financiers, as well as ice cream. The range makes it easy to choose something for yourself or pick up a gift. One person sampled the madeleines and financiers before buying them with a cake, which may appeal to anyone who likes to try baked treats before deciding.

Some visitors have also bought draft wine or fresh wine to go with something sweet. Wine is available alongside the cakes, offering another option to take home with pastries or dessert. Several visitors report that this Ginza 7-chome branch focuses on take-away and has no seating for eating in. It is a compact shop, so plan on choosing cakes or baked treats to take away.
