​“TAKIMOTO” has a reputation for enjoying the refined taste of authentic Paris. Since its opening in 2009, it has continued to attract many fans. And on October 22nd this year, the long-awaited second store will open in Gifu City!

This time, we will introduce the appeal of TAKIMOTO, which is recognized even by other patissiers.

*Gifu store closed at the end of December 2023.

What is "TAKIMOTO"?

After honing his skills at BAUD, a member of "Relais Dessert", the world's top patissier and chocolatier organization, after returning to Japan, he worked at the world's leading patisserie "Patisserie Sadaharu Aoki Paris" from the time he opened a store in Japan. The shop of Mr. Makoto Takimoto, a patissier who has experience as a sous chef.

With the desire to convey the authentic taste of the local area, we have set up a shop in Gifu and are sending out fashionable Parisian sweets in both color and taste. The sweets made by Mr. Takimoto have gained a reputation as the finest sweets that bring excitement and happiness.

An urban space reminiscent of Paris

TAKIMOTO Kakamigahara

Mr. Takimoto: "About 10 years ago, cake shops had white walls, so I wanted to change that image and create a cake shop that didn't look like a cake shop."

About 200m south from Kakamigahara Shiyakusho-mae Station on the Meitetsu Kakamigahara Line. It is located between Kakamigahara City Hall and Kakamigahara City Industrial Culture Center. There is Kakamigahara Citizen Park nearby, and it seems that some people enjoy sweets in the park.

The calm interior is decorated in dark colors. Behind the large glass door is an open kitchen where you can enjoy watching the chefs work.

In the showcase that looks like a jewelry store, colorful and popular sweets are lined up. Just looking at the beautiful array of cakes makes me feel happy.

Cute macaroons that catch your eye with their colorfulness.

Baked sweets and jams keep for a long time, so you can use them for sudden visitors.

Pack your favorite baked sweets in a stylish box for a gift.

TAKIMOTO Gifu store

This October, the second store opened along the intersection of Kinkabashi-dori and Gifu Higashi-zai-dori, near Yanagase shopping street in Gifu city. It is located on the north side of Kogane Shrine, which is famous as a gold goshuin and a power spot.

The pure white and stylish exterior looks more like a boutique than a cake shop.

The interior of the store, which is wrapped in white and marble floors and walls, is very gorgeous!

In the showcase that uses glass for jewelry cases, there are cakes, macaroons, and gelées that shine as brightly as jewels, and that impress both visually and tastefully.

"Canelé (240 yen)" is currently available only at the Gifu store. Types include nature, hoji, chocolate, matcha, and more.

The texture of the canelé, which has a firm texture and a moist inside, adds the individuality of the ingredients to the aroma and bitterness, creating an exquisite harmony in your mouth.

Commitment to sweets

Ms. Takimoto: "The most important thing is the ingredients. I use ingredients that I am passionate about and believe are the best around the world. When I come across the best new products, I use them. Beyond delicious ingredients..., other ingredients. I would like to pursue the finest taste that is created by harmonizing with the world, and continue to evolve while valuing originality.”

Bijou-like cakes that are extremely popular

3P (9cm x 12cm) gorgeous decorated cakes are also popular.

Gentle and luscious cake "Frège"

Dacquoise dough with hazelnuts and almonds goes well with sour strawberries and custard cream. The faint western liquor and the sweet and sour raspberries are a perfect match. This is a strawberry seasonal product.

Rich taste matcha opera "Mikado"

The rich harmony of the bitterness of the rich Nishio matcha and the sweetness of Domori's chocolate (56% bitter). The moist and heavy taste is full of texture, and it is a cake that is popular with men.

Deliciousness that overflows with every bite, the creative “marron”

French chestnuts and Western liquor, accented with cassis fruit for an adult taste. Enjoy the texture of the bottom layer of cookie dough and finely chopped steamed chestnuts, a gem that tickles all five senses.

Overturn the concept of sweet macarons,
Heart-pounding strongest "macaron"

Parisian-style macaroons are colorful and cute sweets that have captivated the hearts of girls. However, I think that some people are not good at sweets and avoid them.

TAKIMOTO's macaroons are macarons that people who don't like sweet things should definitely try!

Crisp, moist, chewy macaron dough with cream that melts in your mouth. The more you chew, the more the flavor spreads, and the moderate sweetness is exquisite. With a texture that you've never tasted before and a sweetness that doesn't leave an aftertaste, it's so delicious that you won't be able to stop eating it.

The secret of the indescribable deliciousness

Of course the skill of the chef, but the presence of almonds is also a point.

The world's highest quality almonds from Sicily, Italy (or Valencia, Spain) are used. The freshly ground almonds, which are ground in-house to maximize the flavor and aroma, and the uneven size of the texture, will delight you with the aroma and texture as you chew.

Taste and color variations full of originality

We have a variety of unique flavors, from standard products to those that make use of seasonal ingredients. Find your favorites from the abundant variation of about 15 types at all times. The fun of choosing and the fun of tasting will make you smile.

・"Chocolat" sandwiched raw chocolate with a slightly sweet taste
・The more you chew, the more refreshing lemon sourness spreads in your mouth, and the sharpness of "Citron"
・"Framboise" with exquisite sweet and sour taste of raspberries and sugar coated on the surface
・"Pistache" where you can enjoy the taste of pistachio as it is and the texture of chopped pistachio
・“Mirtille” with a pleasant sweetness, kneaded with blueberry jam

The luxurious orange box on the black base is perfect for gift-giving.

By-product of macaroons … the popular “cookie macaron”

“Cookie Macaron (800 yen)” is a rusk made from baked macaron skin. It's packed with colorful colors, and it's an explosion of loveliness.

A luxurious cookie with a crisp, gentle texture and the sweetness and bitterness of the finest almonds. Depending on the type, you can also enjoy subtle flavors and nutty textures.

"Chocolat" instructed by authentic sweets lovers

Chocolat is a hot topic every year. Unfortunately, it wasn't there yet... (tears)

Chocolat will be available from January! Chocolat that uses DOMORI's chocolate luxuriously, such as Takimoto's "Bonbon Chocolat" and "Tablet" by Mr. Takimoto, who is also famous as a chocolatier, will color the storefront.
In particular, the bonbon chocolates with beautiful designs drawn on the surface are exquisite both to look at and to eat.
