Because this is a favorite shop, I refrained from reviewing it. Located on the second floor of a famous food court building in Kita-Ikebukuro. An unexpected hidden spot and it is empty to the point that I am worried. It is clean and there is no smell peculiar to Chinese food, so Japanese people can enter with peace of mind. While there are many Chinese dessert shops that are very crowded, being able to enter and eat without queuing is GOOD. Today I ate Yangzhi Ganlu. The mango is thick. Milk mochi is chewy and delicious. Until last year it was ★5, but this year maybe because other shops take turns making it, the inside of the Taro Ball (imo-en) was frozen. That happened twice, so today I ordered Yangzhi Ganlu + milk mochi, so I deducted ★1. 【Cuisine】 Yangzhi Ganlu Mochi 【Entry time】 Around 16:00 【Crowdedness】 Empty 【Service and impressions】 Service is good 【Cleanliness of toilets, tables, etc.】 Can use the toilet inside the building. It feels like it's for employees but it's spacious. 【For solo? Can bring others?】 OK if with close friends. If business partners, OK if they are very knowledgeable about Chinese food or like overseas 【Overall score】 Cuisine ★★★ Service ★★★ Cleanliness ★★★★★ Japanese ★★

It's really too bad Today I went to Ikebukuro wanting to eat dessert, saw on Xiaohongshu that everyone is recommending this shop so I decided to buy two portions to take away... then... today it seems the stall is not operating properly, an uncle from another stall asked me what I wanted and helped me make it. The moment he took out the container I thought: "Is the container this small?" I saw on the internet everyone took pictures of really large portions, some even said one portion of hot milk was enough to make them full...... the result is like in the picture. I can only feel very deceived. But honestly the taste is not bad, it's just the original taste of the ingredients. Today I came by car and my phone was left in the car, so while waiting for food in the shop I kept daydreaming, however in the middle of the way!!!!!!!!! Something gray darted in front of my feet!!!! Right, it was a Mickey!!!!!! My hair stood on end!!!! After that I immediately went downstairs to tell my husband, my husband said you still bought it?? I said since I'm already here, after all Mickey also hid hahaha. In short, I definitely don't recommend this place, it doesn't feel like a shop that is managed properly, the summary and photos above are my very real experience, Looking at it on the internet, there are many good reviews, so I chose this shop. When entering the shop, eh? It felt like it wasn't open today, but an uncle made dessert for me. The amount is small, and if compared with photos uploaded by others, it feels like it's not the same thing. Moreover!! While waiting, a mouse ran in front of my feet, really gave me goosebumps......... really don't recommend......

Aaaaaaah this taro paste must be locked for me🔒[crying] It's really invincible delicious! There is also coconut milk jelly! The portion is super large! My best friend and I ordered so much and were super full! It's just that the place is a bit hard to find, in the friendship products store on the second floor of the food court in the innermost shop[wow]

I tried ordering the dessert advertised on SNS, but maybe because no sweetener was used, there was only the taste of the ingredients themselves, and nothing felt particularly delicious. The shop itself felt like it was sharing the same food court as other shops, and the impression was that it was a bit cluttered. The serving time was also a bit long, and maybe because the space was narrow, the staff was also busy during payment. Also, the price is set a bit high, so for this taste, I think Hong Kong ○ki nearby is more recommended.

The taro coconut pudding here is too delicious. It's not too sweet so it's good.
