Toraya is a long-established Japanese sweets shop with a history of nearly 500 years. In fact, it has opened a store in Paris, France since 1980.

The two Japanese sweets limited to the Paris store are actually on sale at only one location in Japan. It is at "TORAYA TOKYO" located on the 2nd floor of "Tokyo Station Hotel" integrated with Tokyo Station.




In recent years, it has also developed "Toraya Cafe," which offers sweets that are a mix of Japanese and Western styles. What is the Paris limited product ...? Introducing the appearance and taste you care about.

Toraya Paris store limited Japanese sweets

Poir caramel yokan

Yokan mixed with homemade caramel with pear compote. The compote is fragrantly finished with pear brandy "Poire William". The price is 486 yen (tax included).


A light brown yokan and a transparent pear compote. The light appearance is like a Western confectionery.

When you eat it, the crispy texture and fruity sweetness of the compote spreads. Furthermore, the bittersweet and rich caramel and the sweetness of yokan are intertwined, creating a complex taste that deepens as you chase.


The deliciousness of the Japanese sweets, which is well-organized while retaining the characteristics of Japanese sweets, is truly Toraya. It is a dish with a unique flavor that matches pears and azuki beans. Eat-in is also offered at the cafe.

Earl Gray Manju

A bun wrapped in red bean paste using a dough made from black tea "Earl Gray", which has the scent of bergamot. It has a taste that is familiar to French people. The price is 411 yen (tax included).


With a bite, you'll be amazed at how fragrant it is. Richness as if you were drinking Earl Gray tea. There are many black tea flavored sweets, but there are few that are so solid and make you feel "real black tea".

The simple taste of buns and the richly sweet bean paste are a perfect match. The simple taste enhances the aroma of Earl Gray tea.


Japanese sweets with a Western taste for French people. After all, I enjoyed a taste different from Japanese and Western eclectic confectionery for domestic use.

Small yokan

At TORAYA TOKYO, a boxed "small yokan" designed for the Tokyo station building is also on sale for a limited time. Prices start at 1,404 yen (tax included) for 5 bottles.


The illustration of the chic station building is stylish, and I am happy with the mini size that is not bulky. The yokan itself is Toraya's classic "Yoru no Ume", but it's worth remembering it as a Tokyo souvenir without any mistakes.
