Hugo & Victor Tamagawa Takashimaya

Serving up colourful and tasty pastries and cakes previously only sold in the French capital, this Parisian sweets shop made its Japan debut at Shinjuku's Isetan in October 2015, and opened a much-hyped 'concept store' at Omotesando Hills this spring. Their third Tokyo outpost started business on the ground floor of Futako-Tamagawa's Takashimaya in September, brewing up the same kind of excitement that the two other locations have among the city's sweets aficionados. Head over for chocolate, parfaits and deli dishes that draw on the flavours of southern France – both takeout and eat-in options are available.
