Summarized by durumis AI

  • Harbs cake shop in Roppongi Hills is so popular that you have to wait about 40 minutes, but the milk crepe with fresh fruits and the marron cake with plenty of chestnut cream were so delicious that they made you forget the waiting time.
  • For dinner, I had oily soba at Aburasoba Nishishinjuku-Gumi near Shinjuku. It was delicious to stir-fry it with sesame oil and vinegar when it was warm.
  • On the last day of my trip, I finished my Tokyo trip with coffee and butter bar at Verve Coffee in Shinjuku. They provided the type and origin of the beans, making the coffee taste even richer.

Harbs Roppongi Hills

Roppongi Hills is a skyscraper with an observatory deck on the top floor, art museums, shops, restaurants, and more.

It's like Lotte Tower in Korea, so you can go shopping and see Tokyo at a glance from the observatory.

The building is divided into several buildings, so it was very spacious and had many places to see.


But our only goal was Harbs, a popular cake shop in Japan.

This was recommended by a colleague of my husband who lived in Japan.

If you're going, you can go to a nearby location as it's a chain store.


As expected, it was a popular place, so there were about 10 groups in front.

I think we waited about 40-50 minutes.

(In Japan, even if there are seats, they don't guide you right away, but they seem to wait a while and receive a lot of people at once. That's why it took longer)


We ordered hojicha and milk tea.

Hojicha is popular in Japan, so I tried it once, and it tasted really good with cake. It was slightly bitter but clean.

The milk tea my husband ordered had milk ice, so it was a strong milk tea at first, but it became lighter as the milk ice melted. This was also really delicious.

The cake is finally here!


We ordered Mille Crepes (Mille Crepes) and Marron Cake (Marron Cake).

Mille Crepes is a popular menu because of its beautiful appearance and various fruits, so we ordered it.

Marron Cake is a menu that I don't see in other places.


The price is a bit high, but the taste was understandable as soon as I ate it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The fruits inside were all so fresh, it was happy to be able to eat a lot of fruits all at once ㅋㅋ

Marron cake is a chestnut cake, and the combination of the chestnut cream, which is not too heavy or light, and the soft sheet, was quite good.

Overall, I was happy to be able to eat high-quality cake and drinks.

But if I think I'll have to wait for more than 40 minutes, I won't wait, heh

Originally, my husband and I don't like waiting that much... ㅎㅎ It was a taste that we could wait for about 20 minutes according to our couple's standards!


I went into the Roppongi Hills restroom before I went back.

There was a kind of umbrella stand next to the hand washing area. I don't know if it's available in Korea, but I thought it was ingenious and detailed because I used it so well.

(I tried to hang light clothes that I had on, but there's a place to put heavy luggage in front, so you can put it there)

Roppongi Hills Goodbye!

On the way to the subway, I met the Super Mario movie promotion on the escalator ㅋㅋㅋ


Aburasoba Nishi Shinjuku Gumi

We came back from Roppongi Hills to near our accommodation. We spent a lot of time at Harbs, so

It was late and most places were closed.


Then, I saw the store where a few people were in line on the first day, and I sneaked in ㅋㅋ

You can choose the menu you want from the vending machine on the right side and pay.

I added regular flavor, regular size, chashu + scallions + tamago.


Aburasoba's 'Abura' means oil, so it's

It's a soba noodle that you mix with oil.


Here it is -

First, when it's warm, add 2 turns of rayu and 2 turns of vinegar, then stir-fry with about 3 teaspoons of onion in front.

It's better to stir-fry it when it's warm because it will be separate when it's cold.

The umami taste is so amazing ㅠ^ㅠ I didn't expect much, but it was so delicious that my husband and I ate it with our eyes wide open ㅋㅋ

It might seem greasy because it's oil, but the spiciness catches it, so it's not greasy at all, and the noodles are chewy and delicious.

The combination of rayu and vinegar is the best in terms of umami, so I highly recommend trying it!


After eating, I found out that the spicy flavor is very spicy, so

If you like spicy food, try it with miso flavor, and if you like spicy food, you can add seasoning like red pepper paste or pepper.


Verb Coffee Shinjuku

This is where I stopped by before going to the airport from Shinjuku on the last day.

I wanted to go to a delicious coffee shop on the last day, and it was a perfect end to the trip.

If you're going to the airport from Shinjuku early in the morning and want to have a cup of coffee, I highly recommend this place!


It's open very early at 7 am, so it's good for people who go early, and

The space is a bit cramped, so you can either stay for a while or take it out and eat it outside.

The staff is also very kind and gives good recommendations.

It's nice to get information about the type of coffee beans and origin together when you order.

Sometimes, if you mix several beans, you get a taste that's neither here nor there, but here, the taste is clean, the sourness is just right, and the character is alive.

I tried the butter bar out of curiosity, and it tasted like a high-class calorie balance ㅋㅋㅋ

It was the perfect ending to my trip to Tokyo!

(Suddenly, the end of the Tokyo trip blog ㅋㅋㅋ)



Goodbye Tokyo!

Goodbye Korea!
