The very first place I stopped at after arriving in Tokyo, without even unpacking my bags, was Un Grain. The luggage was heavy, but with my schedule, if I didn’t drop by that day there would be no next time..

The front entrance of Un Grain

Being my second visit, it was easier to find this time. It’s called Aoyama, but it’s quite a walk in from the station. Going straight there from the airport took a body of steel..

Today’s selection

Small as they are, the flavor is concentrated. This time I kept it simple and bought twelve.. since I’m planning to come back again soon.

The cakes

Last time the cafe wasn’t open so I couldn’t eat here, but this time I had a little leeway, so I ordered something light. They said they had no herbal tea, so I had water instead.

Cakes

Just as I expected, they’re delicious. Each one has a clear character. I’d love to try the other cakes too, but that’s not easy to do right now.

Cake descriptions on an iPad

Nice touch.

After a good meal I bought a big bundle of gifts and left. I’ll definitely be back here soon.
