About this place
Neat rows of bonbons de chocolat and attractively packaged baked sweets greet visitors stepping into CHOCOLAT L'ECHEVIN. True to its name, this compact Takanawa pastry shop offers a considered selection ranging from delicate bite-sized chocolates to everyday fresh cakes.
Delights Found in a Single Chocolate
The chocolate lineup includes boxed bonbons de chocolat in sizes from 4 to 20 pieces, along with orangettes balancing candied orange peel against dark bitterness, and ginger-infused tablets. The clear cacao aroma and smooth melt make them rewarding everyday indulgences, while the dedicated gift boxes and assortments suit special occasions and visits to friends.
Textured Baked Goods and Fresh Cakes
The bakery selection features crunchy croquants, rochers rich in nuts and roasted cacao, and tender, crumbly polvorones. In the chilled showcase, fresh desserts include the Richard, defined by its pairing of crushed almonds and meringue, alongside caramelized crème brûlée and chocolate pudding.
Because the shop focuses on takeaway, browsing the counter for an afternoon tea treat is an easy, unhurried affair. It makes a pleasant stop for a sweet takeaway while strolling through the Takanawa neighborhood.
