LADURÉE’s macaroon



Last month, Japan’s first LADURÉE’s tea room opened in Ginza, Tokyo.

The LADURÉE in Paris is famous for its colorful, beautiful macaroons! I’ve been waited for this shop to open in Japan, and I heard many more customers crowded the shop on the opening day!

I really wanted to eat LADURÉE’s macaroon, so I talked about that with my colleague. Then, immediately after our chatting, we went to the shop to buy macaroons.
Even though it was weekday afternoon, the shop was crowded and we had to wait in line for one hour to buy macaroons. It took long time to buy them but we got a lot of colorful beautiful macaroons!!!



These macaroons traveled by air from Monaco to Tokyo. There are 14 flavors, so we bought all the flavors for over ten thousand yen!!



I ate several macaroons, I thought the chocolate macaroon is the best! It used a delicious chocolate and it was very moist.



The LADURÉE’s macaroon is really delicious, you should try it by all means!!

Thank you so much for sharing! What beautiful macarons! I can't believe there is now a Laduree in Japan - more reason to go back to Tokyo.

I am flying to Tokyo this weekend and I can't wait to visit LADUREE. I used to live outside of Paris and I visited LADUREE quite often. The macaroons are the best!

Can you give me an idea of how to find LADUREE in Tokyo?

Hope you enjoy Tokyo!
If you go to Tokyo, Ginza, I think you can easy to find the shop. LADUREE is located in Ginza Mitsukoshi, a department store. LADUREE has 2 shops in Tokyo: one in Ginza and the other in Nihonbashi.
