I want to enjoy more chocolate!
Yoyogi Hachiman · cacao store
For Valentine's Day, the world is quite talkative about chocolate. In addition, there is news that high cocoa chocolate rejuvenates the brain, and chocolate is getting more attention. I want to tell the people who do not like being sweet a little bit and how to eat more new chocolate, I want to tell "How to enjoy more chocolate", I have heard stories at the cacao store!
"Cacao Store" is a Bean to Bar specialty store opened in 2015 as a new store of "Musee de Chocolatheobroma" handled by Tsuchiya chef famous for chocolate sweets. Beantuta is to be made by handling the process from cocoa bean (Bean) to plate chocolate (Bar) in one workshop. One minute walk from Yoyogi Hachiman Station (Odakyu Line) and Yoyogi Park Station (Chiyoda Line). Although it is a chic entrance which seems to miss at first glance, in reality it is surprising that it is wider than I expected to enter inside. Often taught Okada who is responsible, "It is often said by those who visited us first, and that there was such a wide eat-in space in the back." A smile is a very pretty woman.
When entering the store, it differs from the sweet feeling of chocolate, the scent of "cacao" drifts. Somehow a little wonderful but comfortable air. In the shop front, there are a lot of board chocolates in a colorful package. Tablets gathered from all over the world draw attention. In the showcase, the same cakes as "Theobroma" line up. Here you can take out and eat in.
"Cacao Store" is a shop where the Tsuchiya chef's nearly ten years plan was formed, "I want to do a shop where you can see the process from the cacao beans to see the chocolate process up close." Although it is the same land as "Theobroma" but it is located near the station of Yoyogi Hachiman, Yoyogi Park, there are also interesting things that the customer base is different.
"A person who brings children with a pushchair, a grandpa and a grandchild, a wife who always comes by alone, a man who is returning to the company are two, and it is what it says, a truly wide range of people comes. It seems that she is a pattern, she is accustomed to teaing at a cafe and entering a specialty shop, and everyone seems to be doing a truly wonderful way of living. "
In the back of the shop, there is also a table seat that can accommodate one-seat seats and large numbers of people. In winter, compared with eating chocolate fondue and four chocolate chicken. It is said that gelato is still popular in the summer. This time I ordered "Toast Chocolat" (the lower right) that it is most popular throughout the year, "Late Shochola" (upper right) that plenty of shaved chocolate took. And one of the features of the cacao store is that there is a bar where you can drink sake, there are six kinds of macaroonsare, such as foie gras, raw ham and seasonal fruits, tuna mayonnaise etc. as one dish suitable for drinking "salmon butter" Also asked.
"Toast chocolat" which is also a specialty of the shop says that all the chocolate boards are on a French bread. The heat of the toast melts the chocolate little by little, the bread crunchy texture and the sweetness of chocolate are exquisite. Not only latte chocolate adds sweetness of chocolate to the bitterness of latte but also a dish that you can enjoy the scent of cacao firmly. It might be more tasty to drink with chocolate rather than to mix it.
And, attention "macaron sare of salmon butter", saltiness of salmon, sprinkling pepper is working on a slightly sweet macaroon peel, it is very delicious! This certainly will suit wine. In the night I think that it is crowded with such stylish people, in fact, many people ask for alcohol in the daytime. Among regular customers, there are people who enjoy a variety of chocolates with wine. It would be really nice to have a way of going out with such chocolate.
"Cacao Store" The most popular tablet in the original tablet is white cacao from Peru, in which the package of pink × alpaca is cute. In addition, purple × butterfly package is 70% from Colombia, green × Ariquy package is 60% from Brazil is a new product that was released from January. This may be perfect for Valentine's Day or gifts.
Cocoa beans brought from abroad are not the same every year even if they are the same tree. Okada says, "I hope you enjoy the chocolate taste of the year," instead of making it the same on average. I see. This is for coffee. For sake, finding what you like is perhaps a way to enjoy Beantuba.
Also, the Tsuchiya chef who jumps overseas seems to have been receiving various stimuli and the kinds of items are increasing rapidly. Roasted Ecuadorian cacao bean roast (with bags), shampoo, original T-shirt, Teonote designed by Tsuchiya chef etc. Why do not you stop by when you are looking for a gift that is different from people, not just Valentine's Day.
