Luxury patisserie "DEBAILLEUL" with an atelier in Brussels, Belgium. The only cafe in Japan is in Marunouchi, Tokyo. So, I got the information that "warm x cool" sweets that melt chocolate are offered. It is said that hot chocolate is sprinkled on ball-shaped chocolate and eaten.

I often see "ice x espresso" affogato, but do you sprinkle chocolate on it? I was tempted by the melty chocolate and went to eat!


"Debailleul Marunouchi Oazo", where you can enjoy melty chocolate, is located in a commercial facility near Tokyo Station. Located on the north exit side of Marunouchi, this area has surprisingly few cafes. It's a sophisticated and fashionable space, but you can see men here and there.

Ask your seat to guide you and order the chocolate you are looking for. The name of the menu is "Avalanche" (1,350 yen including tax). It seems to mean "avalanche" in French. It's a new product released in March.

After a few minutes of waiting, Avalanche was brought in. It is a fist-sized chocolate sphere with a shiny surface. I can't see the contents at all.


Next, the clerk brought hot chocolate. When I applied this little by little from the top of the sphere ... something like white vanilla ice cream appeared from inside! Sprinkle hot chocolate so that the upper half of the sphere disappears, and it seems to be completed.






Inside the sphere are cold vanilla ice cream and crumble (like a cookie with a bittersweet texture). When you scoop up the melted chocolate, vanilla ice cream, crumble, and everything in your mouth ... A mysterious harmony of chocolate with a slight warmth and cold vanilla ice cream.

The chocolate on the sphere is rich and slightly bitter. Vanilla ice cream also has a rich yet refreshing aftertaste. Hot chocolate is not too sweet and has a smooth texture. It's a combination of sweets, but it's surprisingly refreshing. You can enjoy the change in taste and temperature as it melts and mixes. I have eaten completely.


After eating delicious sweets, you will want to drink delicious coffee ... I also asked for coffee. Then, a lovely chocolate came with coffee. On this day, a pink ganache called Juliet. It's a smart idea to enjoy the marriage of chocolate and coffee.


By the way, after taking a rest, the author wanted to eat another dish. I also ordered "Fiyutepom" (864 yen including tax), which has been popular since its opening.

What was brought in was something like an apple pie with vanilla ice cream on it. Unlike American apple pie, sliced apples are tightly packed on a thin puff pastry. Below the pie is the custard sauce.


Cut the pie with ice cream and add plenty of custard sauce. The vanilla ice cream and custard sauce taste elegant, while the pie itself has a simple taste. It is slightly salty and the sweetness of apples stands out.

The sauce and entwined puff pastry are also excellent. It contains a lot of water and has a texture like crepe dough. It goes without saying that the sweetness of the sauce and the saltiness of the dough go well together.


Generally speaking, "apple pie + ice cream" is like adding ice cream to a hot pie and enjoying the temperature difference, but Fiyutepom dares to lower the temperature of the pie so that the ice cream does not melt. There seems to be. The idea is to enjoy the goodness of ice cream, puff pastry, and custard sauce. This was also an aftertaste that made me think "one more ...".

After all, I ate two dishes, but neither was very sweet, and I was impressed by the taste of the ingredients such as cacao, vanilla, and apples. Even in Japan, where many cafes originate from overseas, you may not be able to enjoy this kind of taste.

That should be it, most of the products of Debailleul are "Belgian taste". It is said that it is difficult to reproduce the taste of the main store as it is in places where the ingredients are different, such as apple varieties, so he is particular about the taste of his home country. Therefore, Avalanche's "spherical chocolate", Fiyutepom's puff pastry, chocolates and macaroons sold at the counter are all brought to Japan from Belgium. Even if it takes time, it inherits the founder's spirit of pursuing the perfect taste.

I can't be satisfied with just eating once, I want to go again! I think it was a high quality cafe.
