Whenever I go to Shinjuku, I always end up in the basement of Isetan. There is just something exciting down there.

Mont Blanc event

Mont Blanc piped to order

Échiré has moved in here too.

The Russian Tail at the Yoshinori Asami pop-up store

Yoshinori Asami is a cake shop in Sugamo, and they had opened a pop-up store at Isetan. The cakes look like little toys, and they are just so pretty. There was no way I could walk out without buying one.

An assortment of chocolates

This one was just so-so..

The underground passage at Shinjuku station

They have finally finished the construction here. How many years has it been.. it looks a lot tidier now.

A close-up of the Russian Tail

It is not only pretty to look at, it tasted good too. It was a cake built on fresh berries, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry and so on, and unlike its looks it was not an intense grown-up flavor, so it was easy to eat.

Red-flesh melon chocolate

The taste was just so-so.. but the stork mascot showed up nicely, so I took a photo.
