Tart Shop
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. 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.
