The address of UNIKKO CAFÉ IN HIGASHIYA GINZA is "7 - 7, Ginza 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo", next to the A7 exit of Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line "Ginza 1-chome Station"Paula Ginza BuildingIt is on the second floor.


Arrived in front of Paula Ginza Building.


UNIKKO (poppy flower) of pink color which can be said to be a synonym of Marimekko is designed on the second floor.


Go to the second floor at once.


When I visited the opening time at 11 o'clock on Saturday, the ticket on the day was gone as of 9:30 pm, and when I went to open time at 11 o'clock on Monday I got a numbered ticket at 13 o'clock. Although it seems to be crowded on Saturdays and Sundays, it seems that it will be possible to enter the shop without a numbered ticket even if you visit the afternoon weekday afternoon.



I will head to the shop at the designated time at once. Unfortunately the inside of the shop was forbidden to shoot and the interior was used as a sheet of walls and chairs in Japanese style.


Sit down and check the menu. You can also taste Japanese sweets and tea dealt with in HIGASHIYA, but since it's impressiveOriginal blended tea and seasonal sweets set(1240 yen including tax) "and"Unico Special Plate(2500 yen including tax) "will be ordered. In any case, since drinks can be set, ordered a little unusual blended tea "Forest" and "Fruit".


Wait 10 minutes for the menu to arrive.


When I arrived, the clerk immediately put in tea.


"Forest" is a tea blended with green tea and herbal tea, which is a dish that you can taste the umami of green tea and herbal tea at the same time. It seems that the scent of herbs is killing the fragrance of green tea, so the evaluation seems to be divided.


Next, we tried to eat Unico Special Plate, which was a collaboration between Finnish food culture and Japanese food culture.


Salmon pushed sushi is a dish that consciously considers salmon often used in Northern European cuisine. The acidity is modest and the salmon taste is plenty and it tastes a sense of sum if it is rather rather.


Pickled rice with sweet and sour pork pickled with lotus root remains with a crisp texture. It was slightly sweet, and the sourness was somewhat stronger compared to salted sushi.


Bean soup is like a consommé soup, but it is soup which took out soup with bamboo shoots or bacon.


The taste of Finnish and Japanese soup stock fuses together ... .... It is a little mismatched with the taste of bacon soup and bonito fox pickles. I also felt the taste of vegetable palm sauces such as soybeans and carrots.


Roll cabbage Blueberry sauce is a dish that puts blueberries on rolled cabbage as its name suggests.


Slightly taste of meat is thin, and sweetness and sourness of sauce is added to the umami of roll cabbage, and it also has a slight mismatch. It seems to be said that it is difficult for Japanese people who seldom to put sauce of fruits to taste difficult to feel good.


Unicco confectionery is a Japanese sweet with a motif of yellow flowers.


When I cut it, white bean paste appeared from inside, soft and elegant sweet Japanese sweets. Koashi bean is used, the texture is smooth and the sweetness is finished modestly. Just as the original blended tea's "Forest" and "Fruit" are strong in acidity, the tea we asked for did not seem to be very compatible with sweets.


Since I was able to choose unicco sweets even with the original blended tea and the seasonal sweets set, I chose a different color.


It seems that azuki sweets are cut, and not red bean paste but red beans.


I thought that azuki bean is used and eating, the taste is surprisingly surprising. When asking the clerk, this Japanese sweets also used white bean paste and the fine art of having a black color with bamboo charcoal became a dish that glows.


"Fruit" is a novel tea that mixed green tea with berries.


The color of tea is pink color of berry, a mysterious taste that adds acidity of berry to the taste of green tea. Because you can drink up to 3 cups, it seems good to drink when you want to relax a bit while drinking tea.


After eating the booklet that comes with a set on Unico Special Plate was delivered.


UNIKKO CAFÉ IN HIGASHIYA GINZA is open until November 3 (Monday). Although the price is not cheap, although the price is not cheap, the interior of the shooting prohibition is quite elaborate and it is quite expensive, because it is limited for a limited time, so if Marimekko likes guys and still has a certain budget, it is possible.
