Taito City, Tokyo, Japan｜Waguriya

APRIL 2023 On the day of the visit, the store was already serving customers prior to the 11am opening time and there were a few customers ahead. Wait time was quite long as the store was small, about 30 mins wait. Menu was provided while you are waiting so ordering went smoothly when I got a seat. All the desserts comes in a set with your choice of tea. I had the classic Mont Blanc which was very smooth and the natural sweetness of the chestnut flavor comes through nicely. The seasonal strawberry Mont Blanc parfait was also a treat with the mix of sweet strawberry jam sauce and ice cream. A little pricey but it was worth it considering how good the chestnut flavor was and the wait time was not too long.

Great service, beautiful and delicious Mont Blanc! We had the Mont Blanc with Sake set. The sake surprisingly matched perfectly with the simple/original Mont Blanc. Worth queuing if you need to, absolutely delicious! They may take your order in the queue, so you can be served quickly once seated. We topped it off with their takeaway only chestnut ice cream and sweets!

I'm a huge mont blanc fan and I've got to say this is THE best experience I've ever had. You can taste the pure, authentic flavours of their premium chestnut paste 🌰. Not spiked with any alcohol etc and just it's natural sweetness. So so good. If I could make a small change, it would be to not have banana pieces at the bottom of the parfait. It came as quite a shock to the palate! :D
